[Mapserver-users] PHP as module?

[William K]

here, here!

As an extension to that, is there a possibility of removing the 
dependence on PHP source?  PHP comes preinstalled on Mac OS X (both 
server and client), but without source (it has the usual installed 
headers).  Even though we wouldn't have to rebuild PHP as a cgi, we 
would still have to rebuild it to have a source tree.  Or it may be 
installed from another package to get some extra features, but again no 
source would be available for mapserver.
