We've just bought a new Power Mac G5 Macintosh computer for the office and I'll need to do some backend engineering work using it. I've never worked with PHP on MAC, so I really have no experience with what happens on a MAC... are there on issues regarding working with PHP on a MAC?
Not at all. OS X is essentially Unix and you've already got Apache built in. I believe it comes with PHP installed (but not enabled) but I would recommend using Marc's installer from www.entropy.ch. This will give you the most current version of PHP (normally). In short, PHP is great on a Mac. Hope that helps, Larry
PHP is already installed. If you want the latest 4.x series, use the entropy installer. If you want PHP 5 you will have to build it yourself from source. I have recently done that, I found this article useful in doing so: http://www.phpmac.com/articles.php?view=177 -- Michael __ ||| Michael Collins ||| Kuwago Inc ||| Singapore and Seattle USA
