Perhaps the best thing to do would be to wait for PHP 4.3, which will offer out-of-the-box OS X support. I have compiled the latest dev releases with no problems or workarounds on OS X.
However, I do have step-by-step instructions for compiling PHP 4.2.x on OS X, but depending on the libraries you need to link in, you may or may not have success. For example, I have never been able to get --with-imap to work on anything less than 4.3 (dev). If you can't wait the few days that it will supposedly take for 4.3 to be released, and you'd like a copy of my notes, let me know and I'll send them to you. -michael On Wednesday, September 4, 2002, at 09:14 PM, JJ Harrison wrote: > I will be generating a dynamic website for a Class in america.
