Configuring your Macintosh system (PHP)
If you're a Macintosh user, you can run PHP pages on your computer using 
the Apache web server and PHP application server installed with your 
operating system. Configuring your system consists of making sure the web 
server and PHP application server are working, and then creating a root 
folder for your PHP files.

Testing the PHP installation (Macintosh)
You can test the Apache web server and PHP application server on your 
Macintosh by running a test page.
However, before you can use the web server to serve PHP pages and 
content from MySQL databases, you must configure the server to work 
with PHP and MySQL. For information on this process, see 
www.macromedia.com/go/php_macintosh
.
To test the Apache web server and PHP application server: 
1.
Configure the server as described in the article on the Macromedia 
website.
2.
In Dreamweaver or any text editor, create a plain text file and name it 
timetest.php.
3.
In the file, enter the following code: 

This page was created at

 on the computer running PHP.

This code displays the time the page was processed on the server.
4.
Copy the file to the /Users/your_user_name/Sites folder on your 
Macintosh.
This Sites folder is your personal root folder for the Apache web server.
