After having installed PHP5 CLI on my ubuntu machine, I wanted to install Zend studio and apache server to setup a development environment on my machine. So I installed zend studio and xampp package (includes apache,phpmyadmin,mysql etc). The problem is that each package installed their own PHP and corresponding php.ini files.

To make installation of the extensions and other php settings easy and universal across the board, I created symbolic links for each package that point to one single ini file. So now when I execute phpinfo() from various modules, the "loaded configuration file" field points to the same ini files. HOWEVER, paths to extension-folder and include-paths etc. are all different in each case. This tells me that it is not the same php.ini file that is being used for each case. I am quite confused with this behavior.

Any suggestions?

OK. I think I figured it out. Stupid error on my part with creating symbolic links.
