How to create a php.ini file?

Question

I'm trying to install phpbb3 and its saying

PHP setting register_globals is disabled:
phpBB will still run if this setting is enabled, but if possible, it is recommended that register_globals is disabled on your PHP install for security reasons. No

HTTP input character conversion:
mbstring.http_input must be set to pass. No

HTTP output character conversion:
mbstring.http_output must be set to pass. No

I'm using FreeHostia

I have contacted the FreeHostia support and they replied

In the phpBB3 folder create a php.ini file and put the following lines in it:

ini_set('mbstring.http_input', 'pass');
ini_set('mbstring.http_output', 'pass');
register_globals = Off

How do I excatly do this? I'm new with website stuff, I just need a clear step by step guide for it or copy of the file.

Thanks
