October 29th, 2007 by Kurt Wolf

I have been spending the evening looking at my fresh install of Leopard (Mac OS X 10.5). It looks like PHP version 5.2.4 is installed by default. As of today, this is the latest version available. So far, the built in web server is not processing .php pages. I’ll look into that next.
