Version: 8.2.5
Once again, the description given by MacUpdate is 100% wrong. This is a source code bundle and not a binary package. In order to use it, one must have Xcode installed and be able to compile it. Having found a need to use PHP to create a database-backed web site, I chose to use MacPorts (Homebrew is usually recommended, but I don't intend to install many "sidecar" Mac apps, and MacPorts seems less intrusive. On a plus note, PHP now includes its own built-in development web server, so configuring and running Apache (now called apache2 on Macs) isn't needed. A simple command: php -S <server>:<port> <optional: -t webhomedirectory> is all that's needed.

Version: 5.5.6
Why o why does MacUpdate track Unix software in the main Mac software channel? Just a suggestion, but i would prefer it if you had a separate tab/category for server software, daemons, CLI utilities and the like. That way, the 90% who don't use it won't have to contend with the added entries on the tracker. (I do personally use a lot of server-oriented software and CLI tools, so i would personally check that category for updates. But my preference would be to separate them out to another category listing.)

Version: 5.3.0-3
From the developers website;
Note: The package on this page is outdated. I recommend this new PHP distribution for Mac OS X, it is based on mine:
http://blog.liip.ch/archive/2011/04/13/php-5-3-for-os-x-10-6-one-line-installer.html
http://php-osx.liip.ch/ - is the best source for a 10.6 version of php.

Version: 5.3.0-3
Since Snow Leopard wiped-out my install of the entropy version of PHP, does anybody know what would happen if I reinstalled this?

Now PHP 5.3.0-3
Thanks Marc for compiling this for OS X - it gets me an easy way to get an upto date php distro, with GD (not on Apple's vanilla inbuilt), etc. onto my server - without waiting, waiting for Apple to update.
