What is php.ini?
php.ini is a file where you change your PHP settings. Sometimes it may be necessary to have access to this file to change the types of constraints, eg max_file_uploads, memory_limit, register_globals, max_execution_time etc..
Say for an example you have max_execution_time set to 30 seconds and you need to change it to 60, then you have to edit your php.ini and change it from:
max_execution_time 30
to
max_execution_time 60

Most common is that if you have a VPS or a dedicated derver you have access to it.
On a shared hosting it is most common to not have access to php.ini
