PHP at least used to execute Mac formatted files, but it sounds like people
are definitely having some serious problems with 4.0.5 with Mac formatted
files. The problems I had expereinced with Mac files with PHP was that PHP
would report line numbers incorrectly on parse errors, etc. This was
because (correct me if I'm wrong), Macs use a different character for
carriage returns than Windows and/or Unix.
Either way, you definitely should tell BBedit (or whatever program you write
your code in) to save files as Unix file types. This will solve problems
for any version of PHP.
Also, here is a Mac utility that may help out Jon and others with batch
converting Mac text files to Unix ones:
