php questions

[cfleck]

i want to install php on my 10.2.6 machine. i've searched the threads here and they dont seem to address my problem(s) so i'll just ask.

i would prefer to use the apache server that is built in to os x. is that possible? everything i see has me compiling apache. how might i go about using the existing setup?

also, i'd like to get mysql going too. is there a certain order of operations i need to go by to get things working?

any help would be greatly appreciated.

Also, you may want to turn Register Globals back on (it is off by default in the newest version) after you install PHP. Read about it here:

I had the worst time trying to figure out why my scripts weren't working, that was why.
