Answer 1

I too had the same problem but then found that root permission is needed to edit php.ini file so just opened the terminal and wrote the following

gksudo gedit /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini

and it perfectly worked!!

Answer 2

There is a good chance you didn't have permissions to modify the php.ini file. If you just browse to it via a normal folder window and click it Gedit (or whatever your default text editor is) won't be able to open it with write permissions.

You should be able to get away by sudo nano /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini (then your password at the prompt) then changing the variables. Then be sure to Write Out (CTRL O) or make sure you confirm the save on exit.
