I've edited every single php.ini on my Mac (at least all the ones found by "locate") and still can't seem to increase the memory_limit directive for PHP.

I'm using MAMP PRO and running PHP scripts in the terminal.

How to solve this?

Instead of guessing which php.ini you need to alter, run this command to locate the file:

php -r 'phpinfo();' | grep 'php.ini'

Even though I use MAMP PRO, by default my command-line PHP commands are not executed using their copy of PHP. In my case it says the file is found at /etc/php.ini

Once you have located the file, follow the instructions on all of the other answers to bump the memory_limit setting:

memory_limit = 256M
