Stuck in PHP Version 5.4.17 - revised question
I believe I've found a little more of the answer. But I do not know what it means, exactly.
I have installed php5-5.5.8-20140112-185654 . It is in /usr/local/php5-5.5.8-20140112-185654 . There is also an alias file at /usr/local/php5 which points to that file. There is a php.ini file in /usr/local/php5-5.5.8-20140112-185654/lib/php.ini .
There is also a php.ini file at /private/etc/php.ini . That is the file I believe I've been looking at and making changes in.
How can I make these differences work correctly? I've thought of simply putting an alias into /private/etc to the working file /usr/local/php5-5.5.8-20140112-185654. But I'm not sure how that would work with all the rest of things...

(Previous info)
At this point I have several problems.
(1) I cannot tell exactly what install I am running. I installed PHP 5.5.8 from php-osx.liip.ch (as directed by the author, Kevin Skogland, of Lynda.com'si'PHP with MySQL Essential Training with Kevin Skoglund' at the section 'Configuring PHP'.).
But when I look in the browser at http://localhost/~rickeisner/my_phpinfo.php I see PHP Version 5.4.17 , not 5.5.8. And when I run php -v it shows the following:
$ php -v
dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/lib/libltdl.7.dylib
Referenced from: /usr/local/bin/php
Reason: image not found
Trace/BPT trap: 5
(2) Looking at http://localhost/~rickeisner/my_phpinfo.php I see:
Configuration File (php.ini) Path /etc
Loaded Configuration File (none)
(3) When I run a search for php.ini I get:
file:///usr/local/php5-5.5.8-20140112-185654/lib/php.ini
file:///private/etc/php.ini
