This is a PHP module for the Apache web server included in Mac OS X.
PHP is a server-side, cross-platform, HTML embedded scripting language.
This particular build of the module is for the Apache 2 web server provided by Apple in Mac OS X Leopard. It is built as Universal Binary for compatibility with both Intel and PPC systems.
Note: you should always check the PHP section of the user forum too, new releases of this software are usually announced, tested and discussed there long before they are available on this page as stable builds.
The module includes many popular PHP extensions, among them:
the MySQL and PostgreSQL databases
the cURL library for various communications protocols
the GD image creation library (with PNG, JPEG, PostScript Type 1 and TrueType font options).
the expat XML parser and WDDX support
XSLT transformations
LDAP access
the iMap client library
mcrypt encryption functions
GNU gettext
The distribution comes in a Mac OS X Installer package and is completely self-contained, there are no external dependencies beyond what is delivered by Apple in a regular Mac OS X installation. It does require that you have applied all available Software Updates for the current OS release.
