Just run the following command from your terminal  it will show you your Loaded Configuration File easiest way I have ever found   php --ini

It depends on which version of PHP your MAMP is using  You can find it out on   Applications MAMP conf apache httpd conf looking for the configured php5 module   After that  as someone said before  you have to go to the bin folder  There you ll find a conf folder with a php ini inside    example   Applications MAMP bin php php5 4 10 conf  Leo

After going through all the solutions here  the easiest way to find the loaded php ini file is to go into phpinfo on the loaded MAMP webpage  which will show you the loaded php ini file   This will also confirm if the parameters you change  like max file size  have updated correctly

Note  If this doesn t help   check below for Ricardo Martins  answer     Create a PHP script with  lt  php phpinfo     gt  in it  run that from your browser  and look for the value Loaded Configuration File   This tells you which php ini file PHP is using in the context of the web server

To be clearer  as i read this thread but didn t SEE the solution  also if it was here    I have the same problem and found the cause  I were modifying the wrong php ini   Yes  there are 2 php ini files in MAMP    Applications MAMP conf php5 5 10 php ini Applications MAMP bin php php5 5 10 conf php ini   The right php ini file is the second  Applications MAMP bin php php5 5 10 conf php ini  To prove this  create a  php file  call it as you like  for example  info php   and put into it a simple phpinfo     lt  php echo phpinfo      Open it in your browser and search for  Loaded Configuration File   mine is   Applications MAMP bin php php5 5 10 conf php ini   The error was here  i edited Applications MAMP conf php5 5 10 php ini but this is the wrong file to modify  Infact  the right php ini file is the one in the bin directory   Take care of this so small difference that caused me literally 1 and a half hours of headaches

I only have the non-pro version of MAMP but just because it loads it doesn t mean the PHP file is being found without errors   I renamed my php ini files and MAMP still started but Apache returned several errors   What are you trying to change in your php ini file

On my mac  running MAMP I have a few locations that would be the likely php ini  so I edited the memory limit to different values in the 2 suspected files  to test which one effected the actual MAMP PHP INFO page details  By doing that I was able to determine that this was the correct php ini   Applications MAMP bin php php7 2 10 conf php ini

I have checked all answers and of course I have used phpinfo   to check the exact location of php ini  I don t see a File option in the menu bar on my mac  I changed both php ini and php ini temp files in that folder  No vail   Until I realized that I forgot to uncomment the modified always populate raw post data line

Probably the fastest way to access the PHP ini for the currently loaded version of PHP in MAMP PRO  v 4 2 1     Open MAMP Pro Click on  PHP  under the  Languages  section on the sidebar Tap on the arrow button right next to the drop-down that lets you select the  Default Version  of PHP

The file you have to edit is in MAMP Pro and uses the php ini file everytime it starts up     Start MAMP PRO Edit File  gt  Edit Templates  gt  PHP 5 3 2 php ini Restart MAMP Pro   Your changes should stick

I was struggling with this too  My changes weren t being reflected in phpInfo   It wasn t until I stopped my servers and then restarted them again that my changes actually took effect

User · Answer

Change  Applications MAMP conf php5 2 php ini if you are using 5 2 version of php  If you are using the 5 3 php version  edit the  Applications MAMP conf php5 3 php ini   If you are using OSX Lion or OSX Mountain Lion  I recommend you using the default installation of apache and php   Greets

After running the MAMP server  you have php info link in toolbar  Once click  You will get all information about php

I m not sure if in MAMP  non-PRO  is the same  but MAMP overrides the modified php ini everytime it starts   In my case  I needed to use the MAMP menu to change my php ini file  File - gt  Edit Template - gt  PHP - gt  PHP 5 xx - gt  php ini

I don t know if you ever found an answer to this but I DIDN T need MAMP PRO to do this   Simply goto the correct path by following what others have said  It s something like        MAMP-  bin-  php-  php your php version -  conf-  php ini   The key here is where you re editing the file   I was making the mistake of editing the commented part of the ini file   You actually have to scroll down to LINE  472 where it says  display errors   Off and change it to On   Hope this helps any
