James,
Not on OS9 unless you run a linux bit on it, either in emulation or
directly. If you are going to go that far, might as well do it under OS X
and have other benefits. I've built PHP and Apache under OSX just fine,
latest Apache, latest PHP snap as of two weeks ago.
It's very straightfoward, use the linux install instructions:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.unix.php
Tricky bits on OS X:
1. change shells to sh The commands given in the manual are for bash,
and while sh is good enough here, tsh (default under OS X PB1).
To do this, open a terminal and do a 'sh' at the command line.
2. change the apache path from the one set by the prefix command in the
quck instructions step #6 to reflect the existing one. I forget what this
is exactly, use this command to get the directory:
find / -name htdocs -print
It's pretty simple beyond that.
If you need ODBC connectivity, you will have to compile in the iODBC driver
manager. The quick instructions for the manual give the best overview, with
the additional files you need and the additional options listed here:
www.iodbc.org/odbc-phpHOWTO.html
If you run into problems email on anything with PHP and OSX, email me.
Best regards,
Andrew
