The only database I know is running under MacOSX is MySQL, how many hits do you expect? >2) Also, I can't seem to find an HTML editor (TextEdit doesn't work >well) to even write HTML/php files--where can I find one? You can always run BBEdit under BlueBox.. (http://web.barebones.com/), I use it for all of my PHP programming. >3) Once I download PHP4 (can i assume the Unix/Linux one is the one I >want) do i need to configure anything in the Apache server that comes >with OS X? what about setting up odbc connections? You have to compile it so download the source instead. Let me know if you need help with the configuration. >4) There seem to be multiple versions of downloads for Unix (linux, >solaris, bsd, etc.) --could someone confirm that Mac OS X is based on >FreeBSD and that is the Unix type of file i should download? The source.. MacOSX is based on FreeBSD but you have to compile it for the PPC-processor. It's not very complicated.
