Change PHHP command line to load the same config as MAMP PRO

Mamp uses different php config files for cli and mamp pro.

ln -s "/Library/Application Support/appsolute/MAMP PRO/conf/php7.4.2.ini" "/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php7.4.2/conf/php.ini"

CHECK LOADED CONFIGURATION

php --ini

If php command line does not shows extension

• php command line was not showing the pcntl extenion because it was loading the different ini file so moved the loaded ini file to .bak and symlinked the MAMP PRO ini file to the loaded file path of php command line
