Rob Allen has posted his own guide to getting PHP 5.3 set up on OS X 10.7 Lion, the just-released update for Apple's operating system. It comes with a bundled set of PHP-related tools but you might want to set them up your own way. This is where the guide comes in.
With OS X 10.7, Apple continues to ship PHP 5.3 with PEAR, GD and PDO_MYSQL out of the box. This is how to set it up from a clean install of 10.7.
He goes through each of the pieces of software and talks about where to download the latest from and what configuration steps are needed:
- MySQL
- Apache
- the php.ini
- Xdebug
- PEAR
- PHPUnit (and friends)
- PECL OAuth
- mcrypt
