What is PHP?

PHP is a widely-used general-purpose scripting language that is especially suited for Web development and can be embedded into HTML. If you are new to PHP and want to get some idea of how it works, try the introductory tutorial. After that, check out the online manual, and the example archive sites and some of the other resources available in the links section.

PHP 4.3 is an exciting release for web programmers working on Mac OS X. Previous versions ran on Mac OS X, but not without some difficulty. Installation was especially challenging, and most opted for a binary release, like the one distributed by entropy.ch.

But PHP 4.3 offers full support for Mac OS X. Thanks to some very hard work by members of the PHP development team, anyone familiar with UNIX installations should be able to get PHP up and running. In this article I’ll show you the basics of Mac OS X installation, then demonstrate PHP’s flexibility by describing three distinct ways to parse XML files.

Installation Choices
PHP offers many installation options, far more than I could cover in this article. You can install it as a stand-alone binary, for example, or get it to run as an Apache module. Plus there are dozens of APIs that can be added to PHP, and most require additional libraries to be downloaded and installed.

Initial Steps

(I’ve created a directory called /apps for PHP and other UNIX applications I need to install.) Decompress the downloaded file with the following commands
