No, this isn't the right list. But yes, you can do all that and more on OS X (client). I believe there is a central depository for OS X packages, which include what you are interested in. OS X comes with Apache, IIRC, but you should ensure you are using the most recent version due to a significant security bug. I don't recall the site URL, but you can probably find it from Apple's site. >From there, you want to join the appropriate Apache/PHP lists. Keary Suska Esoteritech, Inc.
