 http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9343151/where-is-php-ini-in-mac-os-x-lion-thought-it-was-in-usr-local-php5-lib

 Answers from @Cronk and @Justin got me close on Mac OS X 10.9 Mavericks. In fact, on my system the /etc/php.ini file was missing completely, and it wasn't until I ran phpinfo() on the web server that I observed there was no configuration file. Copying the file from /etc/php.ini.default and adding the fully qualified path to the mcrypt.so library to the config file solved the problem:

 cp /etc/php.ini.default /etc/php.ini
 Then in /etc/php.ini add the following line (using the correct path to your mcrypt.so file):

 extension="/usr/local/Cellar/php54-mcrypt/5.4.29/mcrypt.so"
 Then restart Apache2:

 apachectl restart
