  <p class="simpara">

   There are a few pre-packaged and pre-compiled versions of PHP for

   Mac OS X. This can help in setting up a standard

   configuration, but if you need to have a different set of features

   (such as a secure server, or a different database driver), you may

   need to build PHP and/or your web server yourself. If you are unfamiliar

   with building and compiling your own software, it&#039;s worth

   checking whether somebody has already built a packaged

   version of PHP with the features you need.

   precompiled binaries for PHP on Mac OS:
