This is a PHP module for the Apache web server included in Mac OS X.
PHP is a server-side, cross-platform, HTML embedded scripting language.

This particular build of the module is based on the most recent version 5.2.4 of the software. It runs on Mac OS X version 10.4/Tiger and is built as Universal Binary for compatibility with both Intel and PPC Macs.

Note: you should always check the PHP section of the user forum too, new releases of this software are usually announced and discussed there long before they are available on this page as stable builds.

The module includes support for lots of extensions, among them the ones listed below:

* the MySQL and PostgreSQL databases
* the PDFLib PDF library
* the cURL library for various communications protocols
* the GD image creation library (with PNG, JPEG, PostScript Type 1 and TrueType font options).
* the expat XML parser and WDDX support
* XSLT transformations
* LDAP access
* the IMAP client library
* FTP client access
* exif digital camera image metadata support
* transparent session id propagation (--enable-trans-sid) option
* mcrypt encryption functions
* mhash hashing functions
* sockets extension (experimental!)
* iODBC database support
* XML-RPC support (back in after I had to remove it in a previous release)
* GNU gettext
* CLI Version

The distribution comes in a Mac OS X Installer package and is completely self-contained, there are no external dependencies beyond what is delivered by Apple in a regular Mac OS X installation. It does require that you have applied all available Software Updates for the current OS release.

Starting with PHP 5.1.4 the distribution is more modular and the extensions come as separate packages included in one big metapackage. The installer allows you to deselect the ones you don't want if you open the "Customize" dialog.

All software is installed into a new directory /usr/local/php5 on your boot volume. If you ever want to get rid of the package, you only have to remove this directory, symbolic links called +entropy-php.conf in either /etc/httpd/sites or /etc/httpd/users and, for older packages, a few easily recognized lines in the /etc/httpd/httpd.conf Apache web server configuration file.

NOTE: This module will only work with the original Apache web server as shipped by Apple.
If you re-built Apache from source, you will most likely see an error message like module structure is garbled when you try to restart the server after installing this module. You will have to build your own PHP module which matches your particular Apache. The build instructions might help you do this.

You might also be interested in an alternate PHP Distribution for Mac OS X called MAMP which does not interact with Apple's Apache webserver, includes MySQL and which might work on older releases of Mac OS X. I am not affiliated with MAMP in any way, but have heard good things about it. It seems to be well-suited for personal non-production development setups.
