Since no one's responded, I'll take a stab. AFAIK, you'll have to build
your own version of php with the features you want. The version Apple
built and installed on MacOS X doesn't have a YAML module installed. I
tried building php 5.2 with a bunch of options for MacOS X 10.5 but gave
up. The libraries were hard to configure, none of the options used the
GNU autoconfigure option and after a week of trying to get a manual
build to work, I gave up. I modified my copy of Drupal 6 to work in php
5.3 instead. It took less time.
The fink package manager is dead on MacOS X. Closest thing out there is
MacPorts, but it's not supported on Lion. That leaves you to link and
compile php all by your lonesome. If you've never done this without a
package manager, I wish you luck. You'll really really need it. The
dependencies are horrendous. And I was a Unix admin in a previous life
and did free software builds on a regular basis. So I'm not
exaggerating.
The MacOS development environment which I think is part of the Install
package. With Lion and Mountain Lion, I don't know what Apple is doing
for the stuff that would have been on the DVD as optional packages.
You'll have to research that for yourself.
Sorry to not be more helpful but unless you really need php built this
way, my advise is to use what Apple provides. Good luck.

set up a linux virtual machine.
Or invest in a dirt cheap low power headless server that you can control
properly, and leave the MAC as just the user interface - stuff all your
data on the server. If you are clever you can NFS mount the server onto
te mac so teh user never knows its really not a local disk.
THEN you can edit your PHP files as if they were local and apart from
all the ._DS bollocks that Macs leave everywhere, and the inability to
understand case in filenames consistently, you will have what amounts to
a decent local file server which can be self backing up, a decent web
server and a decent PHP solution.
I built one - headless server with 1TB of disk - for £200 UKP Intel Atom
board with very low power consumption.
All the LAMP stuff is there. The desktops are just - desktops..one Linux
one Mac.
No important data is on them

To people who know nothing, anything is possible.
To people who know too much, it is a sad fact
that they know how little is really possible -
and how hard it is to achieve it.
