NEIL_M  Now PHP 5.3.0-3

Thanks Marc for compiling this for OS X - it gets me an easy way to get an upto date php distro, with GD (not on Apple's vanilla inbuilt), etc. onto my server - without waiting, waiting for Apple to update.

BRIAN KENDIG  The current version at http://www.entropy.ch/software/macosx/php/ is 5.2.4.

This is the same version as the PHP that ships with Leopard, so there's currently no reason to try installing this on Leopard.

VGZ  Warning, if you require PHP DO NOT upgrade to Leopard. This PHP installation will not work on Leopard. Hopefully an update will be made available by the developer soon.

TSHAWKINS  You don't need this for leopard, it already has php 5.2.2 installed by default, you just need to activate it by copying the php.conf file into the right place. Tiger also has php 4.3 installed by default, again it just needs activating to run.

NEIL_M  But the Apple install lacks additions like the GD library.

if got the same error an do the following:

go to the directory: /etc/httpd/sites and delete the file: +entrophy-php.conf

before i delete the file, i insert the LoadModule an the AddModule statment in the httpd.conf. so you can enable / disable the php5 module via Admin Server.

When i enable both PHP5 and PHP4 my server crsh with a Bus Error.

BRIAN KENDIG  Note that this package will ONLY work on Mac OS 10.4, NOT 10.3! I installed it on 10.3 and the installation failed at the end, and then the Apache server would not restart because it could no longer load the php shared library. I can't find any precompiled version of PHP 5.2 available for Mac OS 10.3.

BRIAN KENDIG  I missed that because previous PHP 5 packages have installed on 10.3. This installer attempts to install on 10.3, but fails at the end. The developer's site states that "older, unmaintained, unsupported, ppc-only packages of PHP 5 are available for Mac OS X 10.3", but I can't find any linked from that site. So, user beware.

CORVUS32  Since this is a binary package, it comes with a MySQL Client API version that will most likely not match the version of MySQL Server you are currently using, or would like to use in the future. Ideally, your client and server should match for best reliability, so only use this package if you don't know how to compile PHP yourself.

For example, the MySQL Client that comes with this package matches MySQL 4.1.14, so if you have MySQL 5.0.18 installed, then some functions may/will fail. It may not make much difference to the average user, but just know that it is best (and recommended by mysql.com) that your mysql client api is at least current with whatever server version you use.

ANONYMOUS  Marc's installer worked as advertised. It automatically installed php5 in an alternate directory, so it does not interfere with Darwin's preinstalled PHP version, nor prior installations of php 4.x. All the commonly used packages are supported. The only thing missing that I would like to see is a version that was precompiled for mmcache compatibility.

ANONYMOUS  Good morning.

Installed it, can't find it afterwards. Where does it install to? Where is this "alternate directory?"

Tried developers website, it's down.

Thanks

CB3  Perhaps it would be helpful to clarify a few things about this package. This PHP package is NOT the 4.3.6 source code from php.net. It is Marc Liyanange's distribution of the PHP 4.3.6 module for the Apache web server for MacOS X. Depending on which version of OS X your server is running, and which version of Apache web server, you may want to stick with 4.3.4. Though it states 10.2 as a requirement, this distribution package was built for MacOS X 10.3. For other information, check the "More Infomation" link.

ASHLIN  Anonymous, it is not available for OS9 because PHP relies on many Unix features which do not exist in OS9.
