Hi all,

I've been struggling with this for quit a while... Googling all sorts of things has brought up anything useful so far.

I have MAMP 1.8.4 install on my MBP running snow leopard - i want to upgrade to PHP to 5.3 to fit to my new job's working environment.. however i can't seem to get it to work.

I've tried downloading the 5.3 source and compiling it using's MAMP's ./configure statement but i always get an error regarding apxs and a possibly missing config_vars.mk file from that i understand.

Has anyone been able to do this successfully? If so how?

What were to happen if i were to drop the --with-apxs from the configure line? would it break the apache/php ?

Thanks in advance for any help.
