+ The PHP module for the Apache web server included in Mac OS X.
+ This version includes support for the MySQL and PostgreSQL databases.
+
+
+ NOTE: Be careful when you do this, you could screw up your Apache web server!
+
+
+ Do this to install:
+
+
+
+ 1. Open a terminal window
+
+
+
+
+ 2. type "wget http://www.access.ch/ml/software/macosx/libphp4.so.gz",
+ wait for download to finish
+
+
+
+
+ 3. type "gunzip libphp4.so.gz"
+
+
+
+
+ 4. type "sudo apxs -i -a -n php4 libphp4.so"
+
+
+
+
+ Now type "sudo open -a TextEdit /etc/httpd/httpd.conf"
+ TextEdit will open with the web server configuration file. Locate these
+ two lines towards the end of the file: (Use the Find command)
+
+ * #AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
+ * #AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
+
+ Remove the two hash marks (#), then save the file and quit TextEdit.
+
+
+ Finally, type "sudo apachectl graceful" to restart the web server.
+
+
+ PHP should now be up and running. You can test it by dropping a file into
+ your "Sites" folder which is called "test.php". Into that file, write this
+ line: "".
+
+
+ Now open up 127.0.0.1/~your_username/test.php in your web browser.
+ You should see a status table with information about the PHP module.
