Lion Upgrade and php.ini is invisible

I upgrade to Mac OS Lion. My simple php code which was working earlier still continues to work. But when I access /etc folder in Finder, I do not see my php.ini file. It does show me a php.ini.default file with a modified date the same as when I upgrade to Mac OS Lion.

I did check on the terminal with the following command: php --ini. And I got the following response: Configuration File (php.ini) Path: /etc. This tells me that the file is in the /etc folder. Am I missing something here? I also tried to list the files in /etc on the terminal and it does not show php.ini file in the list.

The reason I want to access php.ini is to set it up to use PDO to access mysql database running locally.

Thanks for your help.

To show all hidden files you would launch a terminal window and type in the following commands

defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE
killall Finder

To rehide the hidden files you would use

defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles FALSE
killall Finder

The reason you call "killall Finder" is to restart the finder so the changes take affect

Invisible? More likely non-existent. Feel free to create one from php.ini.default.
