Alternatively, you can get MAMP.(http://www.mamp.info/en/index.html).
Although it means setting up a non-80 port for http, it works just fine.
Cheers.

Those running MW on Mac OSX have a problem, as the php

php no longer being updated AFAIK, this means that Mac-based sites need to
use something like MacPorts, compile from source (which is apparently
nontrivial due to other Apple-specific issues) or stay with 1.14 or earlier
until Apple updates php via Software Update.
For what it's worth, I spoke to an Apple rep yesterday, who told me that
Apple is aware of the problem, is working deploying php 5.3.3, and that they
heard a lot of complaints about php based on problems with MW. He thought
there would be an update "soon", after they finish their testing. So, I'm
going to take the wait for a software update approach for now (I would have
used entropy php if it was still being updated). The other interesting
thing he told me is that issues get moved up Apple's priorities based on the
number of tickets from Applecare. I would not have thought about
complaining about XCode php on Applecare, but he assured me that that's the
best way to make the wheel squeakier.
