Not quite, the default php.ini file is actually /usr/local/lib/php(-cli).ini unless you tell PHP a custom path to install itself or the ini to. IMHO hard coding a path into the docs is a BAD idea. Ilia Rob Vaughn wrote:

Excellent (!!) point about hard-coding a path into the docs, hadn't thought of that, doesn't apply to Windows, etc. You can clip out the reference to /etc/php.ini and the rest is still far more clear than the current verbiage. Ilia Alshanetsky wrote:
