Hi All,
Im interested in starting to play with php 5 but im having some issues installing the binary from Entropy. http://www2.entropy.ch/

I didnt uninstall my php 4.3 and just ran the php 5 pkg file, I just did a php info and php 4.3 is still being used by apache. 1) Where does php 5 install? 2) How do i change the version of PHP that apache has associated?

Thanks for any help....
 
You might wanna wait until Mark Liyanage gets his site back online -- he had some good tutorials about upgrading and installing PHP.

It's unfortunate that his site got hacked -- he produces some damn good software and tutorials for OS X.
 
I just installed Apache 2.0.52 and PHP 5.0.2 yesterday. But I'll never use the always outdated package installers so I can't help with these.

I just downloaded the unix sources and compiled them and that's it. But you have to know at least a bit about the Terminal (or better unix in general) to play with this. But it's not too compicated if you read the supplied readme documents.

And always remember to update Apache to the latest version if you allow public access. Read the post above to know why the latest version is required.
 
that's what I did to my system what rbuenger did. took the source code and compiled them. took awhile to get used to manual compilation, but I managed to make notes of what I did so next time i upgraded it wasn't so bad after all.
