Introductin to PHP

PHP is a widely-used general-purpose scripting language that is especially suited for Web development and can be embedded into HTML.

Warning:

The PHP Developer team means:

"We do not recommend using a threaded MPM in production with Apache2. Use the prefork MPM instead, or use Apache1. For information on why, read the related FAQ entry on using Apache2 with a threaded MPM"[1]"

Dependencies

Required

• Apache

Optional

• libjpeg
• GDBM
• OpenSSL
• OpenLDAP
• MySQL

Configuration Information

See the output of ./configure --help for many more configuration options.

If you use Apache 1 then you must use --with-apxs instead --with-apxs2

Non-Multilib

Compile the package:

./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc/php \
    --libdir=/usr/lib --localstatedir=/var \
    --with-apxs2=/usr/sbin/apxs --with-mysql &&
make

Install the package:

make install
cp php.ini-recommended /etc/php/php.ini

The installscript change your Apache config and add the entry: "LoadModule php4_module lib/apache/libphp4.so" But it forgets to set the mime applicationtype. So go to the /etc/apache/httpd.conf and add following line in the <IfModule mime_module> section:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml .php3 .htm .html

To test your PHP installation, try this:

cat > /srv/www/htdocs/phptest.php << "EOF"

 
 
 
 
 
  
 
EOF

/etc/rc.d/init.d/apache restart
lynx localhost/phptest.php

Multilib

32Bit

Compile the package:

CC="gcc ${BUILD32}" PKG_CONFIG_PATH="${PKG_CONFIG_PATH32}" USE_ARCH=32 \
./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc/php --libdir=/usr/lib --localstatedir=/var \ --with-apxs2=/usr/sbin/apxs --with-mysql
make &&

Install the package:

make install
mv -v /usr/bin/php-config{,-32}
cp php.ini-recommended /etc/php/php.ini

The installscript change your Apache config and add the entry: "LoadModule php4_module lib/apache/libphp4.so" But it forgets to set the mime applicationtype. So go to the /etc/apache/httpd.conf and add following line in the <IfModule mime_module> section:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml .php3 .htm .html

If you build also a 64Bit PHP, you must:

rm -f /etc/php/pear.conf
