Compiling for MacOS X Client
The following instructions will help you install a PHP module for the Apache web server included in MacOS X. This version includes support for the MySQL and PostgreSQL databases. These instructions are graciously provided by » Marc Liyanage.
Be careful when you do this, you could screw up your Apache web server!
Do this to install:
- Open a terminal window.
-
Type
wget http://www.diax.ch/users/liyanage/software/macosx/libphp4.so.gz, wait for the download to finish. -
Type
gunzip libphp4.so.gz. -
Type
sudo apxs -i -a -n php4 libphp4.so -
Now type
sudo open -a TextEdit /etc/httpd/httpd.conf. TextEdit will open with the web server configuration file. Locate these two lines towards the end of the file: (Use the Find command)Remove the two hash marks (#), then save the file and quit TextEdit.#AddType application/x-httpd-php .php #AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
-
Finally, type
sudo apachectl gracefulto restart the web server.
PHP should now be up and running. You can test it by dropping a file into your Sites folder which is called test.php. Into that file, write this line: <?php phpinfo() ?>.
Now open up 127.0.0.1/~your_username/test.php in your web browser. You should see a status table with information about the PHP module.

if `wget` isn't installed or not in your path use `curl -O` instead.With OSX 10.5, the bundled version is up to date but didn't come with the modules I needed (notably I wanted the pgsql database extension).
Getting this to work was quite simple in the end, what made it difficult is the build-options for Apache. After searching on google, I found instructions to re-build apache with the following options:
./configure --enable-layout=Darwin --enable-mods-shared=all
(Step 1: download the latest Apache2.2 source files,
Step 2: extract the tarball
Step 3: ./configure --enable-layout=Darwin --enable-mods-shared=all
Step 4: make all
Step 5: sudo make install)
Without this step, when I rebuilt PHP either directly with the source from the PHP.net site or using MacPorts I was getting an error about the wrong architecture like this one:
httpd: Syntax error on line 114 of /private/etc/apache2/httpd.conf: Cannot load /usr/libexec/apache2/libphp5.so into server: dlopen(/usr/libexec/apache2/libphp5.so, 10): no suitable image found. Did find:\n\t/usr/libexec/apache2/libphp5.so: mach-o, but wrong architecture
After re-building and Apache with the configuration above and restarting it, everything worked again and I can now use PostgreSQL from within PHP on my MacBook Pro.
I wanted to update my iMac (osx 10.5.6) from php 5.2.3 to 5.2.9 . I downloaded the source from this site, tried to install with some changes and screwed up my php. Come to find out that you need to use the ./configure command to set everything up JUST RIGHT for you computer. i ran this command in the terminal window while in the unzipped php-5.2.9 directory:
./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --with-apxs2=/usr/sbin/apxs --with-curl --with-gd --enable-exif --enable-fastcgi --enable-zip --with-ldap=/usr --with-kerberos=/usr --with-zlib=/usr --enable-ftp --enable-sockets --with-iodbc=/usr --with-config-file-path=/etc --with-openssl --with-xmlrpc --with-xsl=/usr
make
sudo make install (then type your pw)
you can change the settings, but you'd better get it right!
mysql settings:
--with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql --with-mysql-sock=/var/mysql --with-mysqli=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config
also, you can check out the apple developers site, that helped me.
if your apache server gets screwed up, use the note above to reinstall apache2, then install php, everything should work fine, it did for me.
