Clicked on Open Start Page, and it shows me all my appropriate settings such as my MySQL username and password so I can put them into my Zen Cart when I set it up.ĩ.

I've added the correct PHP version to my PATH and running php -v gives me the version I expect, so I'm not really sure why PHP on the command line is acting differently from PHP in the browser.I just, for the first time today, installed MAMP, and set up a Zen Cart site running on my new MacBook Pro.

Also, when I do a php -ini, it tells me that no configuration file was loaded. When I switch to the command line though, mbstring isn't in the list of modules ( php -m). When I check the phpinfo, it's loading the configuration file just fine and mbstring is enabled.

I did some digging and am left scratching my head now. I was running some commands from the command line yesterday and noticed that the script was throwing errors because the mbstring extension wasn't loaded.
