Making changes to php.ini using SSH client
 

Hi,
I would like to know if its possible to make changes to php.ini by using the command line. If so can anyone show an example how to change default settings to:
upload_max_filesize = 100M
post_max_size = 100M

Of course it's possibile, just use a text editor that works in console.
Vim, nano and pico are the most popular. If you've never used one i suggest you nano or pico because Vim is a great product but difficult at first.

So, for example with nano, just open the file like this:
#nano /etc/php.ini (of course with correct path)
Made your changes and save the file (CTRL+O i think, but it's written)

Do I need to download text editor, if so do you have link?
here is what I have so far.

[root@readyweb ~]# pico /usr/local/lib/php.ini
-bash: pico: command not found
[root@readyweb ~]# nano /usr/local/lib/php.ini
-bash: nano: command not found
[root@readyweb ~]#

Maybe try also vi just to see if it's installed:
#vi -h
In that case you can find lots of guide to use it (open and save is not a lot difficult).
If you don't have it you can get nano here:
http://www.nano-editor.org/
Of course if you are using distros like Debian,Gentoo,Ubuntu and so on the packet manager will install it for you without going to the site.

vi is pretty much the default editor for *nix style systems. It's been around for yrs before things like nano or pico or even vim ..
give it a shot.
