Where to save configuration settings for MacVim

Searched words: 
macvim set syntax macvim set styling defaults

UPDATE: I'm off the Mac for development and onto Ubuntu so now see at the link for the latest version of my .vimrc file for PHP.

MacVim configuration should be put in a file called "gvimrc" in your user directory:

~/.gvimrc

Here are some configurations used for Drupal:

set expandtab
set tabstop=2
set shiftwidth=2
set autoindent
set smartindent

if has("autocmd")
  " Drupal *.module and *.install files.
  augroup module
    autocmd BufRead,BufNewFile *.module set filetype=php
    autocmd BufRead,BufNewFile *.install set filetype=php
    autocmd BufRead,BufNewFile *.inc set filetype=php
  augroup END
endif
syntax on

Taken directly from the Drupal handbook page on configuring Vim.
