How to Upgrade PHP on iWeb
iWeb serves as Apple's consumer Web hosting product. The purpose of iWeb is to enable non-technical computer users to create websites without having to program them in languages such as HTML or PHP. This doesn't stop some Web developers hosting robust Web pages that serve up PHP applications and pages on their iWeb Web space. If you need to upgrade the version of PHP that is used by your iWeb Web space, you can do so by upgrading it in the same manner as you would any other Web server, such as an Apache Web server.
