How can I change the PHP configuration (php.ini)?

If you want to change values in the PHP configuration (php.ini), proceed as follows:

  1. Start MAMP.
  2. Stop the servers (if they are started).
  3. Check which PHP version is currently selected.
  4. Open the php.ini file for this PHP version in a text editor. You can find it here: “/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/phpx.y.z/conf/php.ini”. Where “x.y.z” stands for the corresponding PHP version.
  5. Change the desired value.
  6. Save the php.ini file.
  7. Start the server.
