   The following instructions will help you install a PHP module for the Apache

   web server included in MacOS X using the MacOS GUI.  This version includes

   MySQL, PostgreSQL, and iODBC database support, cURL, GD, PDFLib, LDAP, and

   more. These instructions are graciously provided by

   <a href="http://www.entropy.ch/software/macosx/" class="link external">&raquo; Marc Liyanage</a>.

  </p>

  <div class="warning"><b class="warning">Warning</b>

   <p class="para">

    Be sure you know what you&#039;re doing before advancing beyond this point!

    You can cause irreparable harm to your Apache installation otherwise.

   </p>

  </div>

  <blockquote><p><b class="note">Note</b>: 

   

    These instructions will only work with the original Apache web server as

    shipped by Apple.  If you re-built or upgraded your Apache, you will have

    to build your own PHP module.

   That&#039;s all!  PHP should now be up and running. You can test it by dropping

   a file named <var class="filename">test.php</var> into your

   <var class="filename">Sites</var> folder in your home directory.

   Into that file, write this line: <i>&lt;?php phpinfo() ?&gt;</i>.

  </p>

  <p class="para">

   Now open up <i>127.0.0.1/~your_username/test.php</i> in your web

   browser. You should see a status table with information about the PHP module.
