title: What is the best way to set up a PHP development environment on a Mac?
body: <p>When I do PHP, I use <strong>XAMPP</strong> to set up a development environment on <strong>Windows</strong>, then upload to Linux servers, works very well.</p>
  
  <p>I'm now passing on a PHP project to a person who has a <strong>Mac</strong> so he needs a local PHP dev environment. I noticed <a href="http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-macosx.html" rel="noreferrer">XAMPP has a version for Mac</a> which I will recommend.</p>
  
  <p>But knowing that Mac is always a bit <strong>different</strong>, has anyone used any other easy PHP environment setup tool for the Mac, or I could even imagine that Mac solves this issue more <strong>elegantly</strong> by e.g. having a web server ready to go upon first boot etc. </p>
