title: Mac PHP Development Stack
body: <p>Is there a good way to install a PHP development stack, including PHP 5.4, that isn't XAMPP or MAMP, and that doesn't require <b><i>compiling PHP</i></b>?</p>
  
  <p>I am struggling with the numerous installations required to have a standalone Apache server on my Mac, and it just doesn't make sense to me that there isn't any installer that does this properly.</p>
