My user php.ini is not being read

Vote count:

My website, instead of being installed on /var/www, is in some folder of my /home/. Let's suppose my document root is in folder:

/.../root

With its corresponding

/.../root/index.php
/.../root/php.ini

index.php contains a line like:

<a href="test/tests.php">Test</a>

I use the tests.php file for making tests. In this case, I'm trying to notify to the browser compiler errors (debugging purposes). For achieving that, I need to configure display_errors=On and error_reporting = E_ALL in a php.ini, because if I set both variables with ini_set, and the file has compiler errors, this sentences are not executed (since a ill-formed php script is not executed).

My problem is that my php.ini is not being read. I have tried to enable/disable display_error and I see no changes. I've also added a syntactic errors to php.ini a /etc/apache/error.log says nothing. Even, with phpinfo, my local php.ini doesn't appear.

What is happening?

Some info from phpinfo() (in tests.php):
