Another solution if you are running php script in CLI(cmd)

The php.ini file that needs edit is different in this case. In my WAMP installation the php.ini file that is loaded in command line is:

\wamp\bin\php\php5.5.12\php.ini

instead of \wamp\bin\apache\apache2.4.9\bin\php.ini which loads when php is run from browser
