Can the php.ini default file be downloaded by itself for different versions?

Question

Instead of copying php.ini files over from old PHP versions whenever I upgrade PHP, I would like to be able to download the newest php-recommended.ini file from somewhere by itself. I have searched for this option on php.net but I could not find it.

Answer 1

You can grab it from GitHub:

https://github.com/php/php-src

It will be in the root of the trunk/tag/branch you're dealing with.
