Hi all,
I'm new to this forum,
and it seems I can't find an easy way to put up a PHP testing server on my Mac OS 10.3.
I use Dreamweaver but I just can't find a way to let my computer show me what my code does 
I've been searching the net for hours by now but I just can't find a decent explanation on how to do it.
Plz help me !!!! :

Unfortunately, there isn't an 'easy' way. Installing PHP on a Mac (or anywhere else) is not a trivial task. It took me several days and bungled attempts to get it running. It makes life a lot simpler if you just upload your files to a server that is already configured for PHP.

I didn't have any troubles at all.. took about 15 minutes, tops.

Admitedly, this makes it look easier than the instruction on Apple's support page but it it assumes that you have a clean system with everything else working normally. After mainy failed attemts to install PHP, GD and FreeType, my system is in a complete mess and needs to be rebuild from scratch - but hey, I'm retired now and don't care anymore
