PHP is especially difficult to work with on the default Mac installation of Apache. With Linux, it's typically just a matter of finding the packages you need in the package manager (like Synaptic or whatever), installing them, and then using some GUI to enable Apache for the current runlevel (if the install for the package doesn't already do that for you). And if you need, say, mod_cool_thing_here or need to add the GD module to PHP, it's typically just another package download away. Adding GD to PHP under the Mac means recompiling PHP, from what I remember. -- ________________________________________ Nathaniel Price "Who is General Failure and why is he reading my hard disk?"
