I downloaded Macports and run a command I get online, which would install php 5.4. It took a while, but seemed to work successfully. I then copied the php.ini.development and renamed it php.ini like suggested my Mac Ports, however when I type php -v in terminal I still see 5.3

What steps have I missed, what do I need to do to get it to use the php 5.4 :S

Macports should updated your $PATH automatically. You can verify this by typing the following in your terminal window

~> which php
/opt/local/bin/php

If the path returned from which php is /usr/bin/php you'll need to updated your terminal session, by resetting system path

~> source ~/.profile

Try the which php again. If /usr/bin/php is still returned, add the following line to ~/.profile file

export PATH=/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:$PATH
