title: php.ini file is available in xamp folder
body: <p>I am new to php and started running small codes in php ..</p>
  
  <p><strong>Operating System- Windows Xp service pack 3
  Xampp version - 1.7.3
  netbeans- 6.5</strong></p>
  
  <p>for small codes such as upload etc are working perfectly, But when I try to send email said error message SMTP related .Then, I started surfing Google about errors , there I come to know about php.ini file in xampp. Different versions have different locations of this file in xampp only.</p>
  
  <p>There are 3 things I noticed...</p>
  
  <p>1) xampp folder and subfolders does not have <strong>php.ini file</strong></p>
  
  <p>2) on Running <strong>phpconfig()</strong> it shows :</p>
  
  <p><strong>Configuration File (php.ini) Path     no value</strong></p>
  
  <p><strong>Loaded Configuration File     C:\xampp\php\php.ini</strong></p>
  
  <p>3)SMTP server is deactivated in <strong>xampp Status at localhost/xampp</strong></p>
  
  <p><strong>SMTP Service   DEACTIVATED<br>
  FTP Service  DEACTIVATED</strong>  </p>
  
  <p>I can't edit php.ini as its not available what is solution to these problems?</p>
