Greetings:
I've tried Darwin Ports and also ran the PHP 5.02 installer as well.
But when I looked at the current PHP version at the Terminal, I still
get version 4.3.2. (see below).
Simple question: How can I remove the old (version 4.3.2) and replace
it with the lastest (either via Darwin Ports or from the PHP site)?
That is, where to I point Darwin/Mac OS X to use the latest version of
PHP?
This isn't really Cocoa-related, but here you go anyway:
You don't need to remove 4.3.2. In fact, I think I would recommend
against it. It's just personal preference, but I prefer not to mess
with the stock setup too much in case I want to remove all of my Darwin
Ports or fink stuff.
In order to use your Darwin Ports (or fink, or anything else) version
of PHP, you need to change your $PATH so that the Darwin Ports
directory (/opt is it?) is before everything else. For example:
[larrysg4:~] fransson% echo $PATH
/sw/bin:/sw/sbin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/opt/
local/bin:/Developer/Tools:/usr/X11R6/bin
That's my $PATH. As you can see, the fink directories (/sw/) come
first, followed by /bin, /sbin/, and the /usr/ directories, then the
Darwin Ports /opt/local/bin. (I don't remember why I set it up that
way, but I'm sure I had a good reason.) What you need to do is alter
your $PATH - in whatever shell rc file is appropriate (mine is in
.cshrc), so that /opt/local/bin comes before the /bin, /sbin, etc.
