Getting PHP + GD working on Leopard (aka recompiling everything)
Here's my writeup on how to recompile PHP for Leopard to get GD working. The basic plan is recompile Apache and PHP from source. It may totally bork your system, I'm just writing it down so the next time I need to do this I can remember what I did. I wish I could give credit to all the places I stole bits from but I didn't do a good job of keeping notes early on.
Recompile Apache
I tried to skip over this step but after wasting a bunch of time finally realized it was important. Grab the latest version of Apache 2.2:

Thank you for using PHP.
sh-3.2# make
[...]
Build complete.
Don't forget to run 'make test'.
sh-3.2# make installFor what ever reason PHP gets built as php.dSYM so we'll just leave it there and symlink to it so future compiles will work correctly:
sh-3.2# mv /usr/bin/php /usr/bin/php.old
sh-3.2# ln -s /usr/bin/php.dSYM /usr/bin/phpTest that PHP has GD installed:
sh-3.2# php -m |grep gd
gdRestart Apache:
sh-3.2# apachectl restartClean up
Once you've got everything working correctly you can remove the source code:
sh-3.2# rm -r /tmp/php-5.2.5* /tmp/httpd-2.2.8*for you, a photo

Many thanks
This was invaluable for getting my 10.5 localhost set up for Drupal - many thanks.
Finally
Thanks drewish, I was having a hard time to make this work. Your post worked flawlessly.

build --with-mysql
Work great with this guide.. thank you..
I wonder if I want to build php with mysql module not with mysqli,
seem like compile need mysql header files...
I browse all site with no luck searching mysql header for leopard.
Any idea with this problem??
