Where is PHP.ini in Mac OS X Lion? Thought it was in /usr/local/php5/lib

Question

I wanted to run some PHP right on my Mac, uncommented httpd.conf, activated web sharing, installed MySQL etc. I can\'t seem to find my PHP files, most importantly, PHP.ini.<

Answer 1

As pointed out, the php --ini command will tell you where PHP is expecting to find the php.ini file.

For a standard installation, it's likely to be looking for /etc/php.ini

If you've used macports then PHP may be looking for /opt/local/etc/php5/php.ini
