You can get more info about your config files using something like:

$ -> php -i | ack config # Use fgrep -i if you don't have ack

Configure Command =>  './configure'  ...
Loaded Configuration File => /path/to/php.ini

Try one of this solution

1. In your terminal type find / -name "php.ini"

2. In your terminal type php -i | grep php.ini . It should show the file path as Configuration File (php.ini) Path => /etc

3. If you can access one your php files , open it in a editor (notepad) and insert below code after <?php in a new line phpinfo(); This will tell you the php.ini location
4. You can also talk to php in interactive mode. Just type php -a in the terminal and type phpinfo(); after php initiated.
