Go to Entropy Mac OS X PHP and download the PHP archive for Apache 1.3. Uncompress it with the terminal and launch the installer from the Finder.
PHP5 is now installed and running! However, your web applications may not work properly anymore. A few fixes follow.
This functionnality is used by some PHP frameworks like Code Igniter . It allows you to use this convenient syntax to print a value:
<?= $toto ?>
To activate it, replace in /usr/local/php5/lib/php.ini:
short_open_tag = Off
by
short_open_tag = On
Replace in /private/etc/httpd/httpd.conf

Excellent! Thanks. I had found the Entropy page, but didn't know there was an installation compatible with Tiger until I read it here.

"Uncompress it with the Terminal"?? Why? How??!
I don't want to use any stupid command-line Terminal -- I want to download a simple PHP installer, double-click on it, and have it be installed, just like any other file or application on a modern computer!
Why is this such an impossible thing to expect?

Ian you deadshit, if you can't use basic terminal commands, you shouldn't be using PHP at all.

You don't need to use the terminal to unzip the package. just double click on the .tar file and it will uncompress just fine.
on this page I found an older PHP package compatible with OS 10.4:
http://www.entropy.ch/software/macosx/php/
PHP 5.2.4 for Apache 1.3
I followed the instructions on that page, and it worked prefectly.
