 * `php.ini` is a server file, to overwrite your servers php settings, not a PHP
   file. ref: [http://us3.php.net/manual/en/ini.php](http://us3.php.net/manual/en/ini.php)
   || [http://support.hostgator.com/articles/what-is-php-ini](http://support.hostgator.com/articles/what-is-php-ini)
 * if you want to see your `phpinfo()` name the file something like `info.php` which
   is a php file
