I is for iPHPd
Programming for the masses, thanks to Apple.
iPHPd[1] is a programming framework from Apple that allows Mac OS users to develop programs using PHP and run them as proper applications on their Mac’s.[2]
It runs as a system service and detects, through the use of a special heading in the PHP file, when a file should be run as an application.
No more costly development cycles, you can now write professional looking programs yourself.[3]
It’s installed by default, but needs to be enabled. To help you out, I’ve written up a small, downloadable tutorial here.
- Why do Apple have to prefix everything with an “i” – epecially when it doesn’t mean anything? [↩]
- Like AppleScript, but with the look of a real programming language. [↩]
- Apple has included a wizard that will create any program you want. Now you can program, without any of the creativity or talent that other programers have spent years working on! [↩]
