I'm a beginner programmer, and I'm learning to program a web app using WampServer. Recently I have tried to modify the internal encoding setting in the php.ini file, and I discovered that there are 2 or them. One is under wamp\bin\php\php5.3.0 and the other one is under wamp\bin\apache\Apache2.2.11\bin. It turns out the 2nd one is the one that governs the behavior of php when I run my program.

So why are there 2 of those files, and what is their respective function?

Thanks,

    Guessing here - one is for the command line execution, one is for PHP inside Apache. You can check the locations of php.ini files via `php -i` (for the CLI) and `` (for the web server). – halfer Feb 25 '12 at 18:43

One from the PHP folder is for Command Line interaction, the other is for Apache itself (Web browser).

I use the CLI for my IDE (netbeans).
