Apache, MySQL and PHP (AMP) for MAC = MAMP

Got an Adobe newsletter this week featuring MAMP which is an acronym that stands for Mac, Apache, MySQL, and PHP. Article here: http://www.adobe.com/newsletters/edge/december2009/articles/article2/index.html?trackingid=FBTRR#item3

Just spreading the word...

To note:

"Be aware that the current WAMP installer includes PHP 5.3.0. (to date)... Joomla and Drupal are not yet compatible with PHP 5.3.0. WordPress is compatible with PHP 5.3.0, but you need to make a small edit to the php.ini file to manually set the time zone for your location.

In Drupal, the following error occurs when you run the installation wizard:

Deprecated: Function ereg() is deprecated in C:\wamp\www\drupal\includes\file.inc on line 895

If you are using WAMP, you can address this error by downloading the latest 5.2.x version of PHP. Click the WAMP icon in the system tray and choose PHP > Version > Get More. The current MAMP installer ships with PHP 5.2.10, so this issue does not affect MAMP and Mac users."

AMP on!
