Hi,

Well, php.ini is edited by any texteditor (try nano or pico on *nix
hosts for simple editing).
But chances are you cannot edit it because you do not have permissions.

And you don't 'add php.ini' to your php installation, it is already there.
Try the function phpinfo() to get detailed information concerning it
whereabouts. ;-)

And can you not just add a From in your emailprogram instead of using
php.ini?
