I found this great tutorial on how to install Apache2 and PHP5 on OSX.

Thanks a lot Maccius!

By the way, if you just want to use the Apache and PHP versions that come with OSX, read this post.

   I prefer the standard OSX method. Just sudo apachectl start and check your http://localhost/~username/. Files will be in /Users/username/Sites/.

   For PHP edit your httpd.conf as described in the article. But nevertheless great tip GJ.

   You could install MAMP also, which is really easy to manage and even lets you switch between PHP4 and PHP5

   Thanks for the suggestion Fredric. I hope to find some time to checkout MAMP in the near future
