Compiling for MacOS X client
Those tips are graciously provided by Marc Liyanage.
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:
-
Open a terminal window.
-
Type wget http://www.diax.ch/users/liyanage/software/macosx/libphp4.so.gz,
wait for the download to finish.
-
Type gunzip libphp4.so.gz.
-
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: <?php phpinfo() ?>.
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.
