php.ini file missing in OS X

I have recently enabled the PHP 4.2.1 that comes pre-installed on OS
X. After making all the prescribed changes to the httpd.conf file php
seems to work fine.

I would like to make some changes to the php.ini file, but I can't
find it. phpinfo() tells me that it is in /usr/lib but don't see the
file there (or anywhere else). Even after creating my own php.ini file
in /usr/lib my changes aren't acknowledged on the phpinfo() page.

Suggestions?

Thanks.

Did you restart Apache after installing the new php.ini file?

The ini file location in phpinfo is the location where php will look for
the file; in many cases the install does not actually place an ini file
there and php uses internal defaults.

If you have placed a file in the specified location, remember that for an
Apache DSO site you need to restart apache to force a re-read of php.ini.

re: php.ini file missing in OS X

I use a different PHP installation from Marc Liyanage at
http://www.entropy.ch/software/macosx/php/ so that I have the latest
PHP version. The php.ini file I use for this distribution is in
/usr/local/lib

I run OS X 10.2
