Hi,

How do I install PHP on my computer? (running 10.4.3)

Thanks

It should already be installed. Open Terminal and type "php -v" and see what comes up.

On 10..4.2 you'll get the following:

[18:42:18@~]$ /usr/bin/php -v

As usual Apple is a little behind as the recent releases are 4.4.1 and 5.0.5 with 5.0.6 expected shortly ; and 5.1.x in beta
