I did post this last week and some how it did not go through ?, iv heard gmail can be ? at times. I will "try" upgrading to PHP 5 in TM. Question: is there any thing else that i need to know besides the instructions at TM/Bundles/PHP/Help/4.0 Set Up my plan of action is to upgrade to OS 10.5 when the DVD gets here this friday. and the various upgrades through the Apple server. install PHP 5 on the machine via entropy. follow the instructions as given, TM/Bundles/PHP/Help/4.0 Set Up see what kind of mess entropy and MAMP can make, yes i will have the servers shut off. and go from there. If any one could bring me to notice anything i do not see please let me know. Thank you i found universal install DVD of 10.5 at hardcoremac that is affiliated with yahoo business.
I never even really realized that I had to do anything to get php5 working with TM. I think it is always a good idea to alter your shell PATH to include where php5 is, so you can work with it in the shell, which seemed to be plenty to get it working for me.
I used MacPorts to get php5 and Apache2 working, since I have never really liked the idea that MAMP installs so much more than I would ever want, and they are pre-compiled sources, so not as optimum as they could be for my specific machine. You will also not need to rely on entropy building in the tools you need, you just pick and chose what you need with MacPorts. Need curl, supo port install php5-curl, need gd, sudo port install php5-gd, etc etc.
Personally, I would just edit your environment PATH to include that of where the php5 binary is at. This helps you out in more areas than just TM.
