Five on six

Categories: Development Created by robert
During development on 5.0 last week I came to the point where I needed to implement some functionality doing string operations. As we don't want to fiddle around with the mbstring extension anymore it now was time to try TYPO3 5.0 with PHP6. As I'm working on a Mac, I searched for a Mac Port for PHP6 but didn't find any. After some discussion with Karsten I decided to create one on my own.

So, if you're interested in trying out PHP6 as well and develop on a Mac, please try out my PHP6 Mac Port. You find all instructions in the TYPO3 5.0 wiki:

   5-0.dev.typo3.org/trac/TYPO3/wiki/MacPortsInstallation

I'm by far no Mac Ports expert, in fact I just learned enough to get this running for myself. Therefore any initiative to improve this package, including that someone with more expertise takes over the maintainership at some point, is welcome
