My Mac Pro is running the entropy.ch 5.2.5 beta 6 version of PHP that  
was released some months ago - I had to use this as I needed the GD  
Library for my sites.

The instructions I followed are in the green box in the post from Marc  
on this page

http://www.entropy.ch/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=2945

And below are the notes I made at the time I did this back in February  
2008. Not all of this may be necessary - especially if you're not  
using MySQL which my genealogy sites require, but it's working as  
expected for me.

The same machine is running FileMaker Server 9, however my FileMaker  
sites currently are all using FM WebSchool's BlackBelt, so as I  
understand things that's using a version of FX.php rather than the  
FileMaker version.

Cheers

Roger

to get Marc's build for PHP and install it. It ends up being in

/usr/local/php5/

with the php.ini file being

/usr/local/php5/lib/php.ini-recommended

Duplicate that and rename copy to php.ini and then this is the file  
that is used. Modify file upload size.
