## Multiple php.ini Files

PHP uses different configuration files depending on how it is executed.

Common locations on Ubuntu:

**Apache**  
`/etc/php/8.3/apache2/php.ini`

**CLI**  
`/etc/php/8.3/cli/php.ini`

Ensure that the required configuration values are applied **consistently in both files**.
