I'm trying to edit my php.ini file to turn off short tags. Pretty standard.

phpinfo() tells me I am running PHP Version 5.6.10

I have edited 2 php.ini files so far, and neither has taken effect (yes, I restarted MAMP)

MAMP/conf/php5.6.10/php.ini

MAMP/bin/php/php5.6.10/conf/php.ini

Neither file changes the status of short tags

Can anyone direct me where/how to change my php.ini settings?

I really freaking miss WAMP. Whose bright idea was it to buy a Mac?!?

When you run phpinfo() you need to look for the value Loaded Configuration File. This tells you which php.ini file PHP is using in the context of the web server.

On my Mac, running MAMP I have a few locations that would contain the likely php.ini So I edited the memory_limit to different values in the 2 suspected files, to test which one effected the actual MAMP PHP INFO page details. By doing that I was able to determine that this was the correct php.ini: /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php7.2.10/conf/php.ini

  • You may want to simply close the question then. – John Burger Jul 26 '16 at 12:20
  • John, takes 2 days before I am allowed to close the question, sometimes these things are forgotten... @eric-leschinski, this does provide an answer (I was using the wrong syntax), and I AM the OP.... – Sanfly Aug 20 '16 at 04:40
