I've installed PECL for PHP on MAMP. Unfortunately, it is using php 5.3.6 which is different form the most recent version of PHP(which is 5.4.10 today). When looking a phpinfo, I see that it is not loading the php.ini file I want (5.3.6), it is loading the latest one (which is normal)

What version of PHP does MAMP come with?

So in my case, MAMP had PHP 7.1.1 as the default version and the only other available choice in the UI that it was giving me was version 7.0.15. I didn't want to use PHP 7.x at all since my server was still on 5.6.x. However, MAMP came with PHP 5.6.30 but wasn't giving me the option to select it.

1 - Download the desired version of PHP here (listed on the right).

2 - Two cases:

Either you have Mamp pro and you can change it through the user interface or you have the free version of Mamp and can achieve that, renaming each folder with for example .DIS at the end at /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/ and just not renaming any version of php, plus the one that you are going to import and consequently copy-paste. This is because the free version of Mamp only allows you to see the two highest version of php through the user interface (for more information watch this video tutorial which will give you more details about the process to follow).
