Two versions of PHP on Mac OS Snow Leopard and install xdebug using PECL

I use Komodo binaries to run XDebug via MAMP. I suggest you do the same thing unless there is a reason to install your own via PECL. This post may be relevant to you if you need to access PHP from the command line.

Before I read some posts about Snow Leopard's built-in Apache/PHP, I used to use MAMP (standard) for PHP development. I decided to turn to the ones I provided, but there seemed to be a lot of problems.

The first thing is that when I use MAMP, I upgrade PEAR from 1.9.0 to 1.9.1 (install PHPUnit later), quoted from this post. Use the phpunit command to me It works well. I also have Xcode4, but deleted it a few weeks ago (I mention this because I don’t know what is causing all my troubles).

Then , When I tried to use the default Apache and PHP on Snow Leopard, I realized that there might be two versions of PHP on my Mac.

When I tried to undo the php -i command, the first One is 5.3.3:

PHP 5.3.3 (cli) (built: Aug 22 2010 19:41:55) 
 Copyright (c) 1997-2010 The PHP Group
 Zend Engine v2.3.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2010 Zend Technologies
 with Xdebug v2.1.0, Copyright (c) 2002-2010, by Derick Rethans

The second is 5.3.4, when I run the file with phpinfo() or call the php-config --version command Actual display. Please see the screenshot below:

For me Another problem is to install xdebug using PECL. What you can see from the php -i command above is the pre-compiled xdebug.so from Komodo (I have read this post), not what PECL installs whenever I try to install xdebug , These errors will appear:

ngocminh@MBP[447]:~$cd /usr/local/pear/bin/
ngocminh@MBP[448]: bin$sudo ./pecl install xdebug

After being online for them all day, I don’t know about the confusion. Please help me figure it out. If you want, please don’t hesitate to ask me for more details. Thank you! ! ! 
–EDIT 1: Which php

ngocminh@MBP[449]:bin$which php
/usr/bin/php

I suggest you stick to MAMP for several reasons
>Software updates from Apple may destroy your level of operating system Customizations made by PHP and MySQL.
>MAMP can be easily stopped, so system resources are only consumed when needed.

I use Komodo binary files to run XDebug through MAMP. I recommend You do the same thing unless there is a reason to install your own via PECL. This post may be relevant to you if you need to access PHP from the command line.
