I use PHP every day, and kind of take pride in that. We get a lot of shit for this labor of love, but damn do I enjoy it. That being said, the PHP ini is a config file that defines some of PHP's runtime parameters and, in some cases, controls modules and drivers that have been installed for PHP. The closest thing I can think of comparing it to would be the JVM config. I use PHP for a crapton of scripting as well, namely scraping, which has nothing to do with PHP's web app capabilities as that all leverages curl.
