Hello.
Where would I find the php.ini file? I need to alter the time out settings to import a content type.
Thanks

I believe it depends on your provider. http://drupal.org/node/76156 and http://drupal.org/node/207036 have some guidance.

If on a shared host you don't have access to it.

If your host allows to to alter php defaults you can simply create your own php.ini file and add the syntax necessary. Some hosts allow altering their php defaults, some don't. Check with yours before you go playing with and getting frustrated over the possibility of it not working for you.

And once the necessary syntax has been added you'd upload the file to where? Root directory (public_html)?

I've come to understand that depends on your host as well.
If your install is in the public_root yes. If your install is in a subfolder than you "may" have to add it to the root AND to the subdirectory drupal is installed to.

to figure out of the changes are "taking" run a phpinfo() and inspect the value you were trying to alter.
