I can't find php.ini file on Mac?

Question

I need to set upload_tmp_dir directive on my PHP server. I've read that there is a php.ini file which I can specify. But I can't find any php.ini files on my Mac. I'm using OSX 10.8. Any suggestions?

Run the command below on your server:

php -i | grep php.ini

then you can see something like below:

Configuration File (php.ini) Path => /usr/local/php/etc
Loaded Configuration File => /usr/local/etc/php54/php.ini

But there is path for php.ini – kuba_ceg Sep 21 '13 at 13:34
This doesn't work for me b/c I use MAMP so the browser uses the PHP executable provided by MAMP and the Mac Terminal uses the one provided by the OS. – zkent Sep 29 '16 at 19:13
