MAMP / PHP (5.5.3) Display Errors On - browser cache/not refreshing properly...

I'm having some trouble with my browsers (Chrome & Safari). They seem to be not refreshing properly - I edited php.ini file on MAMP (both inside bin and conf folders and restarted servers) to display errors and I intentionally wrote some invalid php code to test but whenever I hit refresh, the page would not immediately show the error not until I delete the cache. Oddly, sometimes it does and when it finally does show hthe error and I correct the php code.. I'd end up with the refresh problem again.. hope that makes sense..

UPDATE: Ok, so I found the answer - apparently it was the OPCache setting in the PHP.ini file.. for those who are experiencing the same problem here's the solution

You need to comment out these OPCache lines and make sure to restart your servers

[OPcache] ;zend_extension="/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.5.3/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20121212/opcache.so" ; opcache.memory_consumption=128 ; opcache.interned_strings_buffer=8 ; opcache.max_accelerated_files=4000 ; opcache.revalidate_freq=60 ; opcache.fast_shutdown=1 ; opcache.enable_cli=1
