The problem with php without some sort of package manager is that there
are a bazillion options and library dependencies to build it from
source. And you have to download and compile the right version of each
one in order to build a working php. I've been building stuff from make
files for over 20 years and gave up after a week. I just built the
modules for the version that Apple supplies and that's good enough.
When they upgrade it, I'll do the same. Or I could have just used MAMP
or MacPorts or HomeBrew to build it.
Your pragmatic attitude is most refreshing.
