<p>PHP settings are defined in:
- a main configuration file, usually found under <code>/etc/php5/php.ini</code>; some distributions provide different configuration environments, e.g.
    - <code>/etc/php5/php.ini</code> - used when running console scripts
    - <code>/etc/php5/apache2/php.ini</code> - used when a client requests PHP resources from Apache
    - <code>/etc/php5/php-fpm.conf</code> - used when PHP requests are proxied to PHP-FPM
- additional configuration files/entries, depending on the installed/enabled extensions:
    - <code>/etc/php/conf.d/xdebug.ini</code></p>
