See the php installation instructions in the manual:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.unix.php

The instructions suggest that the default location of php.ini is
/usr/local/lib/php.ini.  You can change that with the
--with-config-file-path configure option.

If you have accidentally deleted some files from the package, you can
reinstall using the command "aptitude reinstall packagename" or
"apt-get reinstall packagename".
