David Coallier has posted a guide for those wanting to be on the bleeding edge of PHP's evolution - his method for installing PHP6.

Hello all, you might have read that PHP6 is under and has been under development for the past few months. Well after hacking around some code trying to get some DirectoryIterator unicoded and ready for php6, I have ran into the problem of compiling php6.. So I figured, might as well give an idea to anyone who feels like on how to install (compile) php6.

The steps (basically) are:

• ensure that you have the list of tools he provides to get started
• the link to the unicode library to install
• the commands you need to get it extracted,
• configured,
• and up and running.
