Apache/2.2.6 and PHP 5.2.4 which is awesome.
PHP isn't enabled by default but all you need to do is uncomment a few lines in the httpd.conf.

To enable php
1) open terminal
2) cd /etc/
3) sudo cp php.ini.default php.ini
4) cd /private/etc/apache2/
5) sudo nano httpd.config
6) uncomment the two modules: php5_module and fastcgi_module. They were at line 114 and 115 for me.
7) Use ctrl and o to save
8) reload apache (can be done from system preferences).

Awesome! That worked great! So, how do I get MySQL working?:
Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)
Found the answer on another forum. For anyone else having trouble, here's the solution:
you need to do the following in terminal.app when safe_mysql is running.
sudo mkdir /var/mysql/
sudo ln -s /tmp/mysql.sock /var/mysql/mysql.sock
Then restart apache.
The root issue is that in the php.ini file (as it comes with Leopard) it is never stated where the socket is, therefore the built-in MySQL default is used. While the above solution works, another answer is to open php.ini and edit the configuration for default socket name (around line 760):
mysql.default_socket = /private/tmp/mysql.sock
This ought to do the trick.
Perhaps a cleaner way to fix the mysql.sock problem
We all agree that if you want the supplied version of php in Mac OS X Client to work with the default installation of MySQL (not supplied in Mac OS X Client) you need to change the default setting in php for the mysql.sock file...
A nice way of doing this is to add
to the
/private/etc/apache2/other/php5.conf
file (in between the </IfModule> tags of course). In most cases the php.ini file does not exist, and instead of the complication of creating it and possibly altering it or allowing a security risk, this method even turns off if you disable php5 down the track! It will also cause no problems if Apple update php/MySQL down the track.
