If you're using apache2, it's located in /etc/php5/apache2.

With ubuntu find command

sudo find / -name "php.ini"

or you can see the phpinfo page

The other answers can correctly locate php.ini files in the system, but to find out which one is used by the process you are running, you can use the php_ini_loaded_file() function.

Note that the file loaded is different depending on how you invoke php (apache, nginx, command line, etc).

This information is also available through phpinfo()
