php.ini file issue

Hi

I have a php.ini file issue whereby it runs out of memory and can’t load a theme larger than 2mg.

I have read quite a lot on the subject and watched a few youtube videos on how to resolve the issue. My problem is not that I don’t know how to update the php.ini file its partially how to find it. However this is not a straight forward issue, I have created an info.php file which shows me the path.

The path I am give for the php.ini file is

C:\Program Files (x86)\PHP\v5.6\php.ini

when I follow this path I can only go as far as

C:\Program Files (x86)

as there is no folder called \PHP\v5.6\php.ini I have tried to use the search option to look for the file/folder but still nothing. I have unchecked the box so no files/folders are hidden but still I get nothing. I created a PHP folder, then a v5.6 folder and placed the amended php.ini file in there, but I still get the memory issue.

Also when I did a search for it on my pc and typed in the path after creating the folders still nothing came up.

The path C:\Program Files (x86)\PHP\v5.6\php.ini is shown via the info.php file, Which I uploaded into the wp-admin folder.

My WordPress was installed straight via CPanel I did not use a FTP Suffer to upload the files, so not sure why it is checking my C Drive.

Also I uploaded an amended php.ini file to my wp-admin folder as the youtube videos and some of the post here advised and I still get the problem. I have followed the instructions correctly but can’t seem to fix this or locate the file via the path given to me by info.php

I have fixed a php.ini file before when i was using xampp which worked fine, so i know i am doing the right think. i just cant sort this one.

i have spoken to mu hosing company and they are having alook, can anyone help as i have neen stuck on this for a few day now.

Thanks
