How to upgrade PHP to 5.3 on latest MAMP
- by Ken
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.
