I have successfully installed PHP 4.3.0 on MacOS X, but it took a bit of work and a lot of 'under the hood' knowlege of the OS.
However, now that it has been done, and I know what packages are needed and what versions are compatable with MacOS X, I can help you with step-by-step instructions. I am not able to compile the instructions at this time, but will throw something together tomorrow, and give the URL to the list. ** Somewhat off-topic ** MacOS X is less like a normal *NIX than many would initially suspect. There are often many 'standard' libraries that are simply not present, or certianly not the development files (header files, etc) that are needed to compile *NIX packages. Most of these packages (PHP for example) can be hacked together with the right expertise. I'm sure Apple Engineers spend many hours getting everything together and patching source to get binaries to work with the next release. Sadly, this leaves many out in the cold when needed compile-time options are not used. (Gettext in mod_php) This is helped by people that post instructions and/or patched sources files on the internet. For example, Marc Liyange (http://www.entropy.ch/software/macosx/) has done a bit of this type of work. ** end rant ** Anyway, I'll get some instructions and source packages that helped me to the list tomorrow.
