[POSSIBLE - SPAM] [FX.php List] How to turn on PHP errorreporting on OS X

[Michael Layne]

All,

Marc Liyanage has been a great resource for all things OS X and  
server related (such as MySQL, PHP, etc.)

http://www.entropy.ch/software/macosx/php/

I've had nothing but great experiences with his builds and  
instructions.  May many people use his installs.  They work. Good luck.

HTH

Michael
