Most likely, each person's project is different (he says in complete ignorance of PHP). For copying files, you'll need to use either a "Copy Files" phase or a shell-script phase. (I'd recommend using the shell script, as Copy Files is oriented towards assembling OS X package folders.)

Use a "Tool" target, and delete all the regular build phases. For the scenario you describe, you could have several targets in your projext, a "Developement Server" target and a "Production Server" target. You can also make targets depend on other targets, so you might define a target that copies files used by everything.

Have you rummaged around the documentation in "/Developer/Documentation"? I don't think there's anything specifically on using PB, but there's certainly a tutorial or two that explains PB on the way to writing the example program. The PB help system is worth looking into as well. Also, you might check out some of the "how to program Cocoa" and "how to program Carbon" books--the ones that target OS X development will most likely use PB as their IDE (since it comes free with OS X, the readers are likely to already have it).
