The PHP 5 package for Mac OS X is a universal binary package containing the FastCGI/CGI Interpreter version of PHP 5.2.0 with the following built-in extensions: bcmath, calendar, ctype, date, dom, filter, hash, json, libxml, odbc, pcre, Reflection, session, SimpleXML, SPL, SQLite, standard, tokenizer, wddx, xml, xmlreader, xmlwriter, and zlib. Support for ftp, iconv, mbstring, GD2, PDO, SQLite, MySQL, and MySQLi is also turned on by default.

The package runs on both PowerPC and Intel-based Macintosh computers powered by Mac OS X 10.2.8 and later. It was built for your convenience by Aprelium Technologies and uses by default /Application/PHP5/lib/php.ini as its configuration file. This build is dedicated to Abyss Web Server.

If you do not have MySQL or do not intend to use PHP 5 with MySQL, edit /Application/PHP5/lib/php.ini and comment the extension= lines referencing the MySQL extensions.

Open the downloaded file by double-clicking on it and copy the PHP5 folder inside the /Application folder on your main hard disk.
