What are common reasons why changes in the php.ini file may not take effect?

Changes in the php.ini file may not take effect due to incorrect file path, incorrect syntax in the php.ini file, or changes not being applied to the correct php.ini file (e.g., multiple php.ini files on the server). To solve this issue, ensure that the correct php.ini file is being edited, check for any syntax errors in the file, and restart the web server for the changes to take effect.

// Example code to check the loaded php.ini file
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
