Note Submitter: nabaja at gmx dot com ---- I wanted to update my iMac (osx 10.5.6) from php 5.2.3 to 5.2.9 . I downloaded the source from this site, tried to install with some changes and screwed up my php. Come to find out that you need to use the ./configure command to set everything up JUST RIGHT for you computer. i ran this command in the terminal window while in the unzipped php-5.2.9 directory: ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --with-apxs2=/usr/sbin/apxs --with-curl --with-gd --enable-exif --enable-fastcgi --enable-zip --with-ldap=/usr --with-kerberos=/usr --with-zlib=/usr --enable-ftp --enable-sockets --with-iodbc=/usr --with-config-file-path=/etc --with-openssl --with-xmlrpc --with-xsl=/usr make sudo make install (then type your pw) you can change the settings, but you'd better get it right! mysql settings: --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql --with-mysql-sock=/var/mysql --with-mysqli=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config also, you can check out the apple developers site, that helped me. if your apache server gets screwed up, use the note above to reinstall apache2, then install php, everything should work fine, it did for me.
