Different php.ini path outputs

PHP Installation and Configuration
#1

Hi,

When I write this into bash:
php --ini

it gives me:
Configuration file (php.ini) Path: /usr/local/lib
Loaded Configuration file: (none)
Scan for additional .ini files in: (none)
Additional .ini files parsed: (none)

But then in browser phpinfo() gives me:

Configuration File (php.ini) Path /etc/php5/apache2
Loaded Configuration File /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini
Scan this dir for additional .ini files /etc/php5/apache2/conf.d
Additional .ini files parsed /etc/php5/apache2/conf.d/05-opcache.ini,
/etc/php5/apache2/conf.d/10-pdo.ini,
/etc/php5/apache2/conf.d/20-json.ini,
/etc/php5/apache2/conf.d/20-readline.ini

Why the outputs are so different?

Hmmm, did we not answer this in another recent post?

The PHP gives you the PHP folders. The Apache gives your the server’s folders.
A command in PHP is not the same as a live website that you go to in a browser. Two different results as they should be. One is from a server’s viewpoint with a local command entered, the other from a websites folder results. Are you having an issue with them?

Locally on a hard drive, you would have a folder you store items in. A website for example might be under your public_html or your WWW folder. When viewing that folder in some PHP code on a website that is stored inside of those folders, it does not normally show the folders outside of those. A website’s ROOT folder is the WWW/website-name usually. Does this help or confuse you? Ask further questions if you are still not clear on it.

Thanks for answer! This made it little bit clearer for me.
