a quick command to see which php.ini file you're using via command line / terminal

php -i | grep /php.ini

or 

php --ini | grep /php.ini

As described in the PEAR installation manual, you can discover the ini files that PHP uses by running

$ php --ini
Configuration File (php.ini) Path: /etc/php/cli-php5
Loaded Configuration File:         /etc/php/cli-php5/php.ini
Scan for additional .ini files in: /etc/php/cli-php5/ext-active
Additional .ini files parsed:      /etc/php/cli-php5/ext-active/php_gtk2.ini,
                                   /etc/php/cli-php5/ext-active/xdebug.ini

This may not be a question for SO, but here's a couple potential solutions, all depending on your distro of course:

locate php.ini

Should give you the directory that php.ini resides in (You may need to do updatedb first)

Otherwise, there's always find.

find / -name "php.ini"
