Problem locating php.ini

We've installed Free BSD 4.2, with Apache 1.3.19.1 with mod_php4-4.0.4pl1 We also have php4-4.0.4pl1 running stand alone. We also have phpmyadmin-2.1.0 installed. Phpmyadmin reports that we don't have magic_quotes_gcp enabled, and we need to do so. All of these packages were installed automatically from the FreeBSD ports collection Our problem comes in trying to enable this feature - not really sure where to do this. We apparently don't have a live php.ini file on our system (all are still php.ini-dist). I have attempted to copy and rename that file to php.ini, and put in various folders - Phpmyadmin still reports magic quotes still aren't enabled. We tried to enable in Apache's httpd.conf file with php_flag on - still not working. There are other php settings we need to customize, but we're not sure where to make them. How can we verify that we are indeed enabling magic quotes?
