What are the differences and considerations when editing the php.ini file versus the php.ini-development file for PHP configuration?

When editing the php.ini file, you are making changes to the actual configuration file that PHP uses. This file is typically used in production environments. On the other hand, the php.ini-development file is a template file that can be used as a starting point for creating a custom php.ini file. It is recommended to make changes in the php.ini file for production environments and use the php.ini-development file as a reference for additional configuration options.
