I’m on Mac OS X Mojave
Step 1
I ran
php -i | grep php.ini
I got
Configuration File (php.ini) Path => /usr/local/php5/lib
Loaded Configuration File => /usr/local/php5/lib/php.ini
Step 2
I open up the ini file
vi /usr/local/php5/lib/php.ini ,
and update memory_limit to -1
Step 3
I ran
php -i | grep memory_limit
I got
memory_limit => 256M => 256M
Step 4
I restart my
sudo apachectl -k restart
and type in my password
and tried
php -i | grep memory_limit
again, I still got
memory_limit => 256M => 256M
Seems like my chages never take any effect …
Do I need to start any service on a Mac? If so, what command to do that?
phpinfo

Edit:
Create an empty php file with:
Load it with your web browser (localhost/yourfile.php).
Check that:
I usually install a “clean” php using Brew. So here a few questions to be sure:
The answer is simple.
The PHP INI file which you have edited and the INI file that is loaded in Apache server is different..
You have to update the PHP loader in the apache
httpd.conf
file.After that restart the apache server with
sudo apachectl restart
.Finally, now you can test the PHP ini file loaded in apache2 with
phpinfo();
Though It is old question still many people struggle. So thought to answer it.
Installed php.ini is located at /usr/local/php5/lib/php.ini (or it
can be at /usr/local/etc/php/7.3/php.ini )
php.ini used by Apache
are different, which is /etc/php.ini.
vi /usr/local/php5/lib/php.ini
so above changes to php.ini does not reflect in Apache. Solution is to point to correct PHP in your apache config file.
Search for pattern "LoadModule php" and comment the existing line with libexec and add below line to your installation.
Restart your apache
