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.
