Running PHP on Mac OSX, and can't find the php.ini file ...

I had a look on my OSX box and couldn't find the file either, so I guess this is a pretty general question.

PHP doesn't HAVE TO have a php.ini file - it's just there for anything that's to be changed away from the default. In general, you can find out where it's supposed to be using phpinfo - a PHP page on the web server that says

Code:

<?php

phpinfo();

?>

and the answer it came up with is "/usr/local/lib".

To test this, I put in a file /usr/local/lib/php.ini containing just

Code:

session.name=SESS_ID_WHC

then stopped and restarted the server and reloaded the test page ... and saw the change
