title: Where does MAMP keep its php.ini?
body: <p>I have recently got a mac an am not used to developing on a mac at all.</p>
  
  <p>I have MAMP Pro 1.9.6.1. I did a locate on <code>php.ini</code> and got this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ locate php.ini
  /Applications/MAMP/conf/php5.2/php.ini
  /Applications/MAMP/conf/php5.3/php.ini
  /Library/Application Support/appsolute/MAMP PRO/conf/php.ini
  /private/etc/php.ini.default
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I changed the name of all of them. Restarted MAMP. It loaded without a hitch (I know odd right?). I am using PHP version 5.2.</p>
  
  <p>All of these files are now different names (done one by one for process of elimination).
  So I figure restart the mac. Same, MAMP loaded no problems, even though all of the <code>php.ini</code> files had been move. On Lamp this that wouldn't even load. But either there is another <code>php.ini</code> file I'm missing (quite possible I don't know how to <code>updatedb</code>), MAMP is really intelligent and just pulls in all of them (less likely) or it doesn't use one.</p>
