I still use Xitami for Windows.  But I use Web/2 now.  Stability of 
OS/2 Xitami failed when my web server started (other's 
experiences may vary).  However I did use PHP with Xitami for 
OS/2 for a long time with no problems.  Unfortunately there is no 
easy OS/2 PHP setup page. I will give you my setup.  Hope it 
helps. :)

First download the latest copy of PHP.  You can get it here: 
http://silk.apana.org.au/php/download/php-4.2.3-os2-exe.zip
Note: The whole package is contained in the PHP.EXE .  That was 
convenient for me as I placed it on a ram disk for extra speed.  But 
this is not necessary.

On the same drive as your OS/2 in your x:\MPTN\ETC directory 
create a php.ini file.

For me I used a php.ini from a windows distribution.  You will want 
to modify the [mail function] I spent months trying to figure this one 
out.

Here are my settings:

[mail function]
SMTP = smpt.yourmailserver.net
sendmail_from = your@email.org
sendmail_path = "sendmail -t -i -F Your-Name-No-Spaces -f 
your@email.org"

I feel it is important to note.  You will have to configure sendmail in 
your OS/2 TCP/IP settings to use your SMTP server.  However.. 
DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT enable SENDMAIL to run on start-up.  
Unless you know what you are doing sendmail will function as a 
open mail relay.  I've never done it myself but I know people who 
learned the hard way.  So remember DO NOT enable sendmail.exe 
to load on start-up.

Now you need to configure your Xitami CFG files.  Bellow are 
mine.  You can modify yours to match your configuration.

These settings are in my defaults.cfg file:

[Server]
default1-index.html
default2=index.htm
default3=index.php
default4=index.php3                  #   Any number of default pages
default5=default.htm                #      called 'default<n>'

[Filter]
.php=e:\php4\php.exe
.php3=e:\php4\php.exe
.phtml=e:\php4\php.exe

[Mime]

    #  Video MIME types
    avi=video/msvideo
    wmv=video/msvideo
    mov=video/quicktime
    movie=video/x-sgi-movie
    mpe=video/mpeg
    mpeg=video/mpeg
    mpg=video/mpeg
    qt=video/quicktime

    #  Audio MIME types
    aif=audio/x-aiff
    aifc=audio/x-aiff
    aiff=audio/x-aiff
    au=audio/basic
    snd=audio/basic
    wav=audio/wav
    mid=audio/midi
    rmi=audio/midi
    ram=audio/x-pn-realaudio
    rpm=audio/x-pn-realaudio-plugin
    ra=audio/x-realaudio
    rm=audio/x-pn-realaudio
    mp3=audio/mpeg
    m3u=audio/mpegurl
    mp3url=audio/mpegurl

Php=application/x-httpd-php
Php3=application/x-httpd-php
Phtml=application/x-httpd-php


That should be a good start.  Good luck on your setup!
