Chapter 1. General Installation Considerations
|
|
|
|
Before starting the installation, first you need to know what do you
|
|
want to use PHP for. There are three main fields you can use PHP, as
|
|
described in the What can PHP do? section:
|
|
|
|
* Server-side scripting
|
|
* Command line scripting
|
|
* Client-side GUI applications
|
|
|
|
For the first and most common form, you need three things: PHP itself,
|
|
a web server and a web browser. You probably already have a web
|
|
browser, and depending on your operating system setup, you may also
|
|
have a web server (e.g. Apache on Linux and MacOS X; IIS on Windows).
|
|
You may also rent webspace at a company. This way, you don't need to
|
|
set up anything on your own, only write your PHP scripts, upload it to
|
|
the server you rent, and see the results in your browser.
|
|
|
|
While setting up the server and PHP on your own, you have two choices
|
|
for the method of connecting PHP to the server. For many servers PHP
|
|
has a direct module interface (also called SAPI). These servers
|
|
include Apache, Microsoft Internet Information Server, Netscape and
|
|
iPlanet servers. Many other servers have support for ISAPI, the
|
|
Microsoft module interface (OmniHTTPd for example). If PHP has no
|
|
module support for your web server, you can always use it as a CGI or
|
|
FastCGI processor. This means you set up your server to use the CGI
|
|
executable of PHP to process all PHP file requests on the server.
|
|
|
|
If you are also interested to use PHP for command line scripting (e.g.
|
|
write scripts autogenerating some images for you offline, or
|
|
processing text files depending on some arguments you pass to them),
|
|
you always need the command line executable. For more information,
|
|
read the section about writing command line PHP applications. In this
|
|
case, you need no server and no browser.
|
|
|
|
With PHP you can also write desktop GUI applications using the PHP-GTK
|
|
extension. This is a completely different approach than writing web
|
|
pages, as you do not output any HTML, but manage windows and objects
|
|
within them. For more information about PHP-GTK, please visit the site
|
|
dedicated to this extension. PHP-GTK is not included in the official
|
|
PHP distribution.
|
|
|
|
From now on, this section deals with setting up PHP for web servers on
|
|
Unix and Windows with server module interfaces and CGI executables.
|
|
You will also find information on the command line executable in the
|
|
following sections.
|
|
|
|
PHP source code and binary distributions for Windows can be found at
|
|
http://www.php.net/downloads.php. We recommend you to choose a mirror
|
|
nearest to you for downloading the distributions.

Chapter 2. Installation on Unix systems
|
|
|
|
This section will guide you through the general configuration and
|
|
installation of PHP on Unix systems. Be sure to investigate any
|
|
sections specific to your platform or web server before you begin the
|
|
process.
|
|
|
|
As our manual outlines in the General Installation Considerations
|
|
section, we are mainly dealing with web centric setups of PHP in this
|
|
section, although we will cover setting up PHP for command line usage
|
|
as well.
|
|
|
|
There are several ways to install PHP for the Unix platform, either
|
|
with a compile and configure process, or through various pre-packaged
|
|
methods. This documentation is mainly focused around the process of
|
|
compiling and configuring PHP. Many Unix like systems have some sort
|
|
of package installation system. This can assist in setting up a
|
|
standard configuration, but if you need to have a different set of
|
|
features (such as a secure server, or a different database driver),
|
|
you may need to build PHP and/or your webserver. If you are unfamiliar
|
|
with building and compiling your own software, it is worth checking to
|
|
see whether somebody has already built a packaged version of PHP with
|
|
the features you need.
|
|
|
|
Prerequisite knowledge and software for compiling:
|
|
|
|
* Basic Unix skills (being able to operate "make" and a C compiler)
|
|
* An ANSI C compiler
|
|
* flex: Version 2.5.4
|
|
* bison: Version 1.28 (preferred), 1.35, or 1.75
|
|
* A web server
|
|
* Any module specific components (such as gd, pdf libs, etc.)
|
|
|
|
The initial PHP setup and configuration process is controlled by the
|
|
use of the commandline options of the configure script. You could get
|
|
a list of all available options along with short explanations running
|
|
./configure --help. Our manual documents the different options
|
|
separately. You will find the core options in the appendix, while the
|
|
different extension specific options are descibed on the reference
|
|
pages.
|
|
|
|
When PHP is configured, you are ready to build the module and/or
|
|
executables. The command make should take care of this. If it fails
|
|
and you can't figure out why, see the Problems section.
|
|

Apache 1.3.x on Unix systems
|
|
|
|
This section contains notes and hints specific to Apache installs of
|
|
PHP on Unix platforms. We also have instructions and notes for Apache
|
|
2 on a separate page.
|
|
|
|
You can select arguments to add to the configure on line 10 below from
|
|
the list of core configure options and from extension specific options
|
|
described at the respective places in the manual. The version numbers
|
|
have been omitted here, to ensure the instructions are not incorrect.
|
|
You will need to replace the 'xxx' here with the correct values from
|
|
your files.
|
|
|
|
Example 2-1. Installation Instructions (Apache Shared Module Version)
|
|
for PHP
|
|
1. gunzip apache_xxx.tar.gz
|
|
2. tar -xvf apache_xxx.tar
|
|
3. gunzip php-xxx.tar.gz
|
|
4. tar -xvf php-xxx.tar
|
|
5. cd apache_xxx
|
|
6. ./configure --prefix=/www --enable-module=so
|
|
7. make
|
|
8. make install
|
|
9. cd ../php-xxx
|
|
|
|
10. Now, configure your PHP. This is where you customize your PHP
|
|
with various options, like which extensions will be enabled. Do a
|
|
./configure --help for a list of available options. In our example
|
|
we'll do a simple configure with Apache 1 and MySQL support. Your
|
|
path to apxs may differ from our example.
|
|
|
|
./configure --with-mysql --with-apxs=/www/bin/apxs
|
|
|
|
11. make
|
|
12. make install
|
|
|
|
If you decide to change your configure options after installation,
|
|
you only need to repeat the last three steps. You only need to
|
|
restart apache for the new module to take effect. A recompile of
|
|
Apache is not needed.
|
|
|
|
Note that unless told otherwise, 'make install' will also install PEAR,
|
|
various PHP tools such as phpize, install the PHP CLI, and more.
|
|
|
|
13. Setup your php.ini file:
|
|
|
|
cp php.ini-dist /usr/local/lib/php.ini
|
|
|
|
You may edit your .ini file to set PHP options. If you prefer your
|
|
php.ini in another location, use --with-config-file-path=/some/path in
|
|
step 10.
|
|
|
|
If you instead choose php.ini-recommended, be certain to read the list
|
|
of changes within, as they affect how PHP behaves.
|
|
|
|
14. Edit your httpd.conf to load the PHP module. The path on the right hand
|
|
side of the LoadModule statement must point to the path of the PHP
|
|
module on your system. The make install from above may have already
|
|
added this for you, but be sure to check.
|
|
|
|
For PHP 4:
|
|
|
|
LoadModule php4_module libexec/libphp4.so
|
|
|
|
For PHP 5:
|
|
|
|
LoadModule php5_module libexec/libphp5.so
|
|
|
|
15. And in the AddModule section of httpd.conf, somewhere under the
|
|
ClearModuleList, add this:
|
|
|
|
For PHP 4:
|
|
|
|
AddModule mod_php4.c
|
|
|
|
For PHP 5:
|
|
|
|
AddModule mod_php5.c
|
|
|
|
16. Tell Apache to parse certain extensions as PHP. For example,
|
|
let's have Apache parse the .php extension as PHP. You could
|
|
have any extension(s) parse as PHP by simply adding more, with
|
|
each separated by a space. We'll add .phtml to demonstrate.
|
|
|
|
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml
|
|
|
|
It's also common to setup the .phps extension to show highlighted PHP
|
|
source, this can be done with:
|
|
|
|
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
|
|
|
|
17. Use your normal procedure for starting the Apache server. (You must
|
|
stop and restart the server, not just cause the server to reload by
|
|
using a HUP or USR1 signal.)
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, to install PHP as a static object:
|
|
|
|
Example 2-2. Installation Instructions (Static Module Installation for
|
|
Apache) for PHP
|
|
1. gunzip -c apache_1.3.x.tar.gz | tar xf -
|
|
2. cd apache_1.3.x
|
|
3. ./configure
|
|
4. cd ..
|
|
|
|
5. gunzip -c php-4.x.y.tar.gz | tar xf -
|
|
6. cd php-4.x.y
|
|
7. ./configure --with-mysql --with-apache=../apache_1.3.x
|
|
8. make
|
|
9. make install
|
|
|
|
10. cd ../apache_1.3.x
|
|
|
|
11. ./configure --prefix=/www --activate-module=src/modules/php4/libphp4.a
|
|
(The above line is correct! Yes, we know libphp4.a does not exist at this
|
|
stage. It isn't supposed to. It will be created.)
|
|
|
|
12. make
|
|
(you should now have an httpd binary which you can copy to your Apache bin
|
|
dir if
|
|
is is your first install then you need to "make install" as well)
|
|
|
|
13. cd ../php-4.x.y
|
|
14. cp php.ini-dist /usr/local/lib/php.ini
|
|
|
|
15. You can edit /usr/local/lib/php.ini file to set PHP options.
|
|
Edit your httpd.conf or srm.conf file and add:
|
|
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
|
|
|
|
Depending on your Apache install and Unix variant, there are many
|
|
possible ways to stop and restart the server. Below are some typical
|
|
lines used in restarting the server, for different apache/unix
|
|
installations. You should replace /path/to/ with the path to these
|
|
applications on your systems.
|
|
|
|
Example 2-3. Example commands for restarting Apache
|
|
1. Several Linux and SysV variants:
|
|
/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart
|
|
|
|
2. Using apachectl scripts:
|
|
/path/to/apachectl stop
|
|
/path/to/apachectl start
|
|
|
|
3. httpdctl and httpsdctl (Using OpenSSL), similar to apachectl:
|
|
/path/to/httpsdctl stop
|
|
/path/to/httpsdctl start
|
|
|
|
4. Using mod_ssl, or another SSL server, you may want to manually
|
|
stop and start:
|
|
/path/to/apachectl stop
|
|
/path/to/apachectl startssl
|
|
|
|
The locations of the apachectl and http(s)dctl binaries often vary. If
|
|
your system has locate or whereis or which commands, these can assist
|
|
you in finding your server control programs.
|
|
|
|
Different examples of compiling PHP for apache are as follows:
|
|
|
|
./configure --with-apxs --with-pgsql
|
|
|
|
This will create a libphp4.so shared library that is loaded into
|
|
Apache using a LoadModule line in Apache's httpd.conf file. The
|
|
PostgreSQL support is embedded into this libphp4.so library.
|
|
|
|
./configure --with-apxs --with-pgsql=shared
|
|
|
|
This will create a libphp4.so shared library for Apache, but it will
|
|
also create a pgsql.so shared library that is loaded into PHP either
|
|
by using the extension directive in php.ini file or by loading it
|
|
explicitly in a script using the dl() function.
|
|
|
|
./configure --with-apache=/path/to/apache_source --with-pgsql
|
|
|
|
This will create a libmodphp4.a library, a mod_php4.c and some
|
|
accompanying files and copy this into the src/modules/php4 directory
|
|
in the Apache source tree. Then you compile Apache using
|
|
--activate-module=src/modules/php4/libphp4.a and the Apache build
|
|
system will create libphp4.a and link it statically into the httpd
|
|
binary. The PostgreSQL support is included directly into this httpd
|
|
binary, so the final result here is a single httpd binary that
|
|
includes all of Apache and all of PHP.
|
|
|
|
./configure --with-apache=/path/to/apache_source --with-pgsql=shared
|
|
|
|
Same as before, except instead of including PostgreSQL support
|
|
directly into the final httpd you will get a pgsql.so shared library
|
|
that you can load into PHP from either the php.ini file or directly
|
|
using dl().
|
|
|
|
When choosing to build PHP in different ways, you should consider the
|
|
advantages and drawbacks of each method. Building as a shared object
|
|
will mean that you can compile apache separately, and don't have to
|
|
recompile everything as you add to, or change, PHP. Building PHP into
|
|
apache (static method) means that PHP will load and run faster. For
|
|
more information, see the Apache webpage on DSO support.
|
|
|
|
Note: Apache's default httpd.conf currently ships with a section
|
|
that looks like this:
|
|
|
|
User nobody
|
|
Group "#-1"
|
|
|
|
Unless you change that to "Group nogroup" or something like that
|
|
("Group daemon" is also very common) PHP will not be able to open
|
|
files.
|
|
|
|
Note: Make sure you specify the installed version of apxs when
|
|
using --with-apxs=/path/to/apxs. You must NOT use the apxs version
|
|
that is in the apache sources but the one that is actually
|
|
installed on your system.

Apache 2.0 on Unix systems
|
|
|
|
This section contains notes and hints specific to Apache 2.0 installs
|
|
of PHP on Unix systems.
|
|
|
|
Warning
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
You are highly encouraged to take a look at the Apache Documentation
|
|
to get a basic understanding of the Apache 2.0 Server.
|
|
|
|
PHP and Apache 2.0.x compatibility notes: The following versions of
|
|
PHP are known to work with the most recent version of Apache 2.0.x:
|
|
|
|
* PHP 4.3.0 or later available at http://www.php.net/downloads.php.
|
|
* the latest stable development version. Get the source code
|
|
http://snaps.php.net/php4-latest.tar.gz or download binaries for
|
|
Windows http://snaps.php.net/win32/php4-win32-latest.zip.
|
|
* a prerelease version downloadable from http://qa.php.net/.
|
|
* you have always the option to obtain PHP through anonymous CVS.
|
|
|
|
These versions of PHP are compatible to Apache 2.0.40 and later.
|
|
|
|
Apache 2.0 SAPI-support started with PHP 4.2.0. PHP 4.2.3 works
|
|
with Apache 2.0.39, don't use any other version of Apache with PHP
|
|
4.2.3. However, the recommended setup is to use PHP 4.3.0 or later
|
|
with the most recent version of Apache2.
|
|
|
|
All mentioned versions of PHP will work still with Apache 1.3.x.
|
|
|
|
Download the most recent version of Apache 2.0 and a fitting PHP
|
|
version from the above mentioned places. This quick guide covers only
|
|
the basics to get started with Apache 2.0 and PHP. For more
|
|
information read the Apache Documentation. The version numbers have
|
|
been omitted here, to ensure the instructions are not incorrect. You
|
|
will need to replace the 'NN' here with the correct values from your
|
|
files.
|
|
|
|
Example 2-4. Installation Instructions (Apache 2 Shared Module
|
|
Version)
|
|
1. gzip -d httpd-2_0_NN.tar.gz
|
|
2. tar xvf httpd-2_0_NN.tar
|
|
3. gunzip php-NN.tar.gz
|
|
4. tar -xvf php-NN.tar
|
|
5. cd httpd-2_0_NN
|
|
6. ./configure --enable-so
|
|
7. make
|
|
8. make install
|
|
|
|
Now you have Apache 2.0.NN available under /usr/local/apache2,
|
|
configured with loadable module support and the standard MPM prefork.
|
|
To test the installation use your normal procedure for starting
|
|
the Apache server, e.g.:
|
|
/usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl start
|
|
and stop the server to go on with the configuration for PHP:
|
|
/usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl stop.
|
|
|
|
9. cd ../php-NN
|
|
|
|
10. Now, configure your PHP. This is where you customize your PHP
|
|
with various options, like which extensions will be enabled. Do a
|
|
./configure --help for a list of available options. In our example
|
|
we'll do a simple configure with Apache 2 and MySQL support. Your
|
|
path to apxs may differ, in fact, the binary may even be named apxs2 on
|
|
your system.
|
|
|
|
./configure --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs --with-mysql
|
|
|
|
11. make
|
|
12. make install
|
|
|
|
If you decide to change your configure options after installation,
|
|
you only need to repeat the last three steps. You only need to
|
|
restart apache for the new module to take effect. A recompile of
|
|
Apache is not needed.
|
|
|
|
Note that unless told otherwise, 'make install' will also install PEAR,
|
|
various PHP tools such as phpize, install the PHP CLI, and more.
|
|
|
|
13. Setup your php.ini
|
|
|
|
cp php.ini-dist /usr/local/lib/php.ini
|
|
|
|
You may edit your .ini file to set PHP options. If you prefer having
|
|
php.ini in another location, use --with-config-file-path=/some/path in
|
|
step 10.
|
|
|
|
If you instead choose php.ini-recommended, be certain to read the list
|
|
of changes within, as they affect how PHP behaves.
|
|
|
|
14. Edit your httpd.conf to load the PHP module. The path on the right hand
|
|
side of the LoadModule statement must point to the path of the PHP
|
|
module on your system. The make install from above may have already
|
|
added this for you, but be sure to check.
|
|
|
|
For PHP 4:
|
|
|
|
LoadModule php4_module libexec/libphp4.so
|
|
|
|
For PHP 5:
|
|
|
|
LoadModule php5_module libexec/libphp5.so
|
|
|
|
15. Tell Apache to parse certain extensions as PHP. For example,
|
|
let's have Apache parse the .php extension as PHP. You could
|
|
have any extension(s) parse as PHP by simply adding more, with
|
|
each separated by a space. We'll add .phtml to demonstrate.
|
|
|
|
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml
|
|
|
|
It's also common to setup the .phps extension to show highlighted PHP
|
|
source, this can be done with:
|
|
|
|
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
|
|
|
|
16. Use your normal procedure for starting the Apache server, e.g.:
|
|
|
|
/usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl start
|
|
|
|
Following the steps above you will have a running Apache 2.0 with
|
|
support for PHP as SAPI module. Of course there are many more
|
|
configuration options available for both, Apache and PHP. For more
|
|
information use ./configure --help in the corresponding source tree.
|
|
In case you wish to build a multithreaded version of Apache 2.0 you
|
|
must overwrite the standard MPM-Module prefork either with worker or
|
|
perchild. To do so append to your configure line in step 6 above
|
|
either the option --with-mpm=worker or --with-mpm=perchild. Take care
|
|
about the consequences and understand what you are doing. For more
|
|
information read the Apache documentation about the MPM-Modules.
|
|
|
|
Note: If you want to use content negotiation, read the Apache
|
|
MultiViews FAQ.
|
|
|
|
Note: To build a multithreaded version of Apache your system must
|
|
support threads. This also implies to build PHP with experimental
|
|
Zend Thread Safety (ZTS). Therefore not all extensions might be
|
|
available. The recommended setup is to build Apache with the
|
|
standard prefork MPM-Module.

Caudium
|
|
|
|
PHP 4 can be built as a Pike module for the Caudium webserver. Note
|
|
that this is not supported with PHP 3. Follow the simple instructions
|
|
below to install PHP 4 for Caudium.
|
|
|
|
Example 2-5. Caudium Installation Instructions
|
|
1. Make sure you have Caudium installed prior to attempting to
|
|
install PHP 4. For PHP 4 to work correctly, you will need Pike
|
|
7.0.268 or newer. For the sake of this example we assume that
|
|
Caudium is installed in /opt/caudium/server/.
|
|
2. Change directory to php-x.y.z (where x.y.z is the version number).
|
|
3. ./configure --with-caudium=/opt/caudium/server
|
|
4. make
|
|
5. make install
|
|
6. Restart Caudium if it's currently running.
|
|
7. Log into the graphical configuration interface and go to the
|
|
virtual server where you want to add PHP 4 support.
|
|
8. Click Add Module and locate and then add the PHP 4 Script Support module.
|
|
9. If the documentation says that the 'PHP 4 interpreter isn't
|
|
available', make sure that you restarted the server. If you did
|
|
check /opt/caudium/logs/debug/default.1 for any errors related to
|
|
<filename>PHP4.so</filename>. Also make sure that
|
|
<filename>caudium/server/lib/[pike-version]/PHP4.so</filename>
|
|
is present.
|
|
10. Configure the PHP Script Support module if needed.
|
|
|
|
You can of course compile your Caudium module with support for the
|
|
various extensions available in PHP 4. See the reference pages for
|
|
extension specific configure options.
|
|
|
|
Note: When compiling PHP 4 with MySQL support you must make sure
|
|
that the normal MySQL client code is used. Otherwise there might be
|
|
conflicts if your Pike already has MySQL support. You do this by
|
|
specifying a MySQL install directory the --with-mysql option.
|
|

fhttpd related notes
|
|
|
|
To build PHP as an fhttpd module, answer "yes" to "Build as an fhttpd
|
|
module?" (the --with-fhttpd=DIR option to configure) and specify the
|
|
fhttpd source base directory. The default directory is
|
|
/usr/local/src/fhttpd. If you are running fhttpd, building PHP as a
|
|
module will give better performance, more control and remote execution
|
|
capability.
|
|
|
|
Note: Support for fhttpd is no longer available as of PHP 4.3.0.
|

Sun, iPlanet and Netscape servers on Sun Solaris
|
|
|
|
This section contains notes and hints specific to Sun Java System Web
|
|
Server, Sun ONE Web Server, iPlanet and Netscape server installs of
|
|
PHP on Sun Solaris.
|
|
|
|
From PHP 4.3.3 on you can use PHP scripts with the NSAPI module to
|
|
generate custom directory listings and error pages. Additional
|
|
functions for Apache compatibility are also available. For support in
|
|
current webservers read the note about subrequests.
|
|
|
|
You can find more information about setting up PHP for the Netscape
|
|
Enterprise Server (NES) here:
|
|
http://benoit.noss.free.fr/php/install-php4.html
|
|
|
|
To build PHP with Sun JSWS/Sun ONE WS/iPlanet/Netscape webservers,
|
|
enter the proper install directory for the --with-nsapi=[DIR] option.
|
|
The default directory is usually /opt/netscape/suitespot/. Please also
|
|
read /php-xxx-version/sapi/nsapi/nsapi-readme.txt.
|
|
|
|
1. Install the following packages from http://www.sunfreeware.com/ or
|
|
another download site:
|
|
|
|
autoconf-2.13
|
|
automake-1.4
|
|
bison-1_25-sol26-sparc-local
|
|
flex-2_5_4a-sol26-sparc-local
|
|
gcc-2_95_2-sol26-sparc-local
|
|
gzip-1.2.4-sol26-sparc-local
|
|
m4-1_4-sol26-sparc-local
|
|
make-3_76_1-sol26-sparc-local
|
|
mysql-3.23.24-beta (if you want mysql support)
|
|
perl-5_005_03-sol26-sparc-local
|
|
tar-1.13 (GNU tar)
|
|
2. Make sure your path includes the proper directories
|
|
PATH=.:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/ccs/bin and make it
|
|
available to your system export PATH.
|
|
3. gunzip php-x.x.x.tar.gz (if you have a .gz dist, otherwise go to
|
|
4).
|
|
4. tar xvf php-x.x.x.tar
|
|
5. Change to your extracted PHP directory: cd ../php-x.x.x
|
|
6. For the following step, make sure /opt/netscape/suitespot/ is
|
|
where your netscape server is installed. Otherwise, change to the
|
|
correct path and run:
|
|
|
|
./configure --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql \
|
|
--with-nsapi=/opt/netscape/suitespot/ \
|
|
--enable-libgcc
|
|
|
|
7. Run make followed by make install.
|
|
|
|
After performing the base install and reading the appropriate readme
|
|
file, you may need to perform some additional configuration steps.
|
|
|
|
Configuration Instructions for Sun/iPlanet/Netscape. Firstly you may
|
|
need to add some paths to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment for the
|
|
server to find all the shared libs. This can best done in the start
|
|
script for your webserver. The start script is often located in:
|
|
/path/to/server/https-servername/start. You may also need to edit the
|
|
configuration files that are located in:
|
|
/path/to/server/https-servername/config/.
|
|
|
|
1. Add the following line to mime.types (you can do that by the
|
|
administration server):
|
|
|
|
type=magnus-internal/x-httpd-php exts=php
|
|
|
|
2. Edit magnus.conf (for servers >= 6) or obj.conf (for servers < 6)
|
|
and add the following, shlib will vary depending on your system,
|
|
it will be something like /opt/netscape/suitespot/bin/libphp4.so.
|
|
You should place the following lines after mime types init.
|
|
|
|
Init fn="load-modules" funcs="php4_init,php4_execute,php4_auth_trans" shlib="/o
|
|
pt/netscape/suitespot/bin/libphp4.so"
|
|
Init fn="php4_init" LateInit="yes" errorString="Failed to initialize PHP!" [php
|
|
_ini="/path/to/php.ini"]
|
|
|
|
(PHP >= 4.3.3) The php_ini parameter is optional but with it you
|
|
can place your php.ini in your webserver config directory.
|
|
3. Configure the default object in obj.conf (for virtual server
|
|
classes [version 6.0+] in their vserver.obj.conf):
|
|
|
|
<Object name="default">
|
|
.
|
|
.
|
|
.
|
|
.#NOTE this next line should happen after all 'ObjectType' and before all 'AddL
|
|
og' lines
|
|
Service fn="php4_execute" type="magnus-internal/x-httpd-php" [inikey=value inik
|
|
ey=value ...]
|
|
.
|
|
.
|
|
</Object>
|
|
|
|
(PHP >= 4.3.3) As additional parameters you can add some special
|
|
php.ini-values, for example you can set a
|
|
docroot="/path/to/docroot" specific to the context php4_execute is
|
|
called. For boolean ini-keys please use 0/1 as value, not
|
|
"On","Off",... (this will not work correctly), e.g.
|
|
zlib.output_compression=1 instead of zlib.output_compression="On"
|
|
4. This is only needed if you want to configure a directory that only
|
|
consists of PHP scripts (same like a cgi-bin directory):
|
|
|
|
<Object name="x-httpd-php">
|
|
ObjectType fn="force-type" type="magnus-internal/x-httpd-php"
|
|
Service fn=php4_execute [inikey=value inikey=value ...]
|
|
</Object>
|
|
|
|
After that you can configure a directory in the Administration
|
|
server and assign it the style x-httpd-php. All files in it will
|
|
get executed as PHP. This is nice to hide PHP usage by renaming
|
|
files to .html.
|
|
5. Setup of authentication: PHP authentication cannot be used with
|
|
any other authentication. ALL AUTHENTICATION IS PASSED TO YOUR PHP
|
|
SCRIPT. To configure PHP Authentication for the entire server, add
|
|
the following line to your default object:
|
|
|
|
<Object name="default">
|
|
AuthTrans fn=php4_auth_trans
|
|
.
|
|
.
|
|
.
|
|
</Object>
|
|
|
|
6. To use PHP Authentication on a single directory, add the
|
|
following:
|
|
|
|
<Object ppath="d:\path\to\authenticated\dir\*">
|
|
AuthTrans fn=php4_auth_trans
|
|
</Object>
|
|
|
|
Note: The stacksize that PHP uses depends on the configuration of
|
|
the webserver. If you get crashes with very large PHP scripts, it
|
|
is recommended to raise it with the Admin Server (in the section
|
|
"MAGNUS EDITOR").
|
|
_________________________________________________________________
|
|
|
|
CGI environment and recommended modifications in php.ini
|
|
|
|
Important when writing PHP scripts is the fact that Sun JSWS/Sun ONE
|
|
WS/iPlanet/Netscape is a multithreaded web server. Because of that all
|
|
requests are running in the same process space (the space of the
|
|
webserver itself) and this space has only one environment. If you want
|
|
to get CGI variables like PATH_INFO, HTTP_HOST etc. it is not the
|
|
correct way to try this in the old PHP 3.x way with getenv() or a
|
|
similar way (register globals to environment, $_ENV). You would only
|
|
get the environment of the running webserver without any valid CGI
|
|
variables!
|
|
|
|
Note: Why are there (invalid) CGI variables in the environment?
|
|
|
|
Answer: This is because you started the webserver process from the
|
|
admin server which runs the startup script of the webserver, you
|
|
wanted to start, as a CGI script (a CGI script inside of the admin
|
|
server!). This is why the environment of the started webserver has
|
|
some CGI environment variables in it. You can test this by starting
|
|
the webserver not from the administration server. Use the command
|
|
line as root user and start it manually - you will see there are no
|
|
CGI-like environment variables.
|
|
|
|
Simply change your scripts to get CGI variables in the correct way for
|
|
PHP 4.x by using the superglobal $_SERVER. If you have older scripts
|
|
which use $HTTP_HOST, etc., you should turn on register_globals in
|
|
php.ini and change the variable order too (important: remove "E" from
|
|
it, because you do not need the environment here):
|
|
variables_order = "GPCS"
|
|
register_globals = On
|
|
_________________________________________________________________
|
|
|
|
Special use for error pages or self-made directory listings (PHP >= 4.3.3)
|
|
|
|
You can use PHP to generate the error pages for "404 Not Found" or
|
|
similar. Add the following line to the object in obj.conf for every
|
|
error page you want to overwrite:
|
|
Error fn="php4_execute" code=XXX script="/path/to/script.php" [inikey=value ini
|
|
key=value...]
|
|
|
|
where XXX is the HTTP error code. Please delete any other Error
|
|
directives which could interfere with yours. If you want to place a
|
|
page for all errors that could exist, leave the code parameter out.
|
|
Your script can get the HTTP status code with $_SERVER['ERROR_TYPE'].
|
|
|
|
Another possibility is to generate self-made directory listings. Just
|
|
create a PHP script which displays a directory listing and replace the
|
|
corresponding default Service line for
|
|
type="magnus-internal/directory" in obj.conf with the following:
|
|
Service fn="php4_execute" type="magnus-internal/directory" script="/path/to/scr
|
|
ipt.php" [inikey=value inikey=value...]
|
|
|
|
For both error and directory listing pages the original URI and
|
|
translated URI are in the variables $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'] and
|
|
$_SERVER['PATH_TRANSLATED'].
|
|
_________________________________________________________________
|
|
|
|
Note about nsapi_virtual() and subrequests (PHP >= 4.3.3)
|
|
|
|
The NSAPI module now supports the nsapi_virtual() function (alias:
|
|
virtual()) to make subrequests on the webserver and insert the result
|
|
in the webpage. This function uses some undocumented features from the
|
|
NSAPI library. On Unix the module automatically looks for the needed
|
|
functions and uses them if available. If not, nsapi_virtual() is
|
|
disabled.
|
|
|
|
Note: But be warned: Support for nsapi_virtual() is EXPERIMENTAL!!!
|
|
_________________________________________________________________
|
|
|
|
CGI and commandline setups
|
|
|
|
The default is to build PHP as a CGI program. This creates a
|
|
commandline interpreter, which can be used for CGI processing, or for
|
|
non-web-related PHP scripting. If you are running a web server PHP has
|
|
module support for, you should generally go for that solution for
|
|
performance reasons. However, the CGI version enables users to run
|
|
different PHP-enabled pages under different user-ids.
|
|
|
|
Warning
|
|
|
|
By using the CGI setup, your server is open to several possible
|
|
attacks. Please read our CGI security section to learn how to defend
|
|
yourself from those attacks.
|
|
|
|
As of PHP 4.3.0, some important additions have happened to PHP. A new
|
|
SAPI named CLI also exists and it has the same name as the CGI binary.
|
|
What is installed at {PREFIX}/bin/php depends on your configure line
|
|
and this is described in detail in the manual section named Using PHP
|
|
from the command line. For further details please read that section of
|
|
the manual.
|
|
_________________________________________________________________
|
|
|
|
Testing
|
|
|
|
If you have built PHP as a CGI program, you may test your build by
|
|
typing make test. It is always a good idea to test your build. This
|
|
way you may catch a problem with PHP on your platform early instead of
|
|
having to struggle with it later.
|
|
_________________________________________________________________
|
|
|
|
Benchmarking
|
|
|
|
If you have built PHP 3 as a CGI program, you may benchmark your build
|
|
by typing make bench. Note that if safe mode is on by default, the
|
|
benchmark may not be able to finish if it takes longer then the 30
|
|
seconds allowed. This is because the set_time_limit() can not be used
|
|
in safe mode. Use the max_execution_time configuration setting to
|
|
control this time for your own scripts. make bench ignores the
|
|
configuration file.
|
|
|
|
Note: make bench is only available for PHP 3.
|
|
_________________________________________________________________
|
|
|
|
Using Variables
|
|
|
|
Some server supplied environment variables are not defined in the
|
|
current CGI/1.1 specification. Only the following variables are
|
|
defined there: AUTH_TYPE, CONTENT_LENGTH, CONTENT_TYPE,
|
|
GATEWAY_INTERFACE, PATH_INFO, PATH_TRANSLATED, QUERY_STRING,
|
|
REMOTE_ADDR, REMOTE_HOST, REMOTE_IDENT, REMOTE_USER, REQUEST_METHOD,
|
|
SCRIPT_NAME, SERVER_NAME, SERVER_PORT, SERVER_PROTOCOL, and
|
|
SERVER_SOFTWARE. Everything else should be treated as 'vendor
|
|
extensions'.

HP-UX specific installation notes
|
|
|
|
This section contains notes and hints specific to installing PHP on
|
|
HP-UX systems. (Contributed by paul_mckay at clearwater-it dot co dot
|
|
uk).
|
|
|
|
Note: These tips were written for PHP 4.0.4 and Apache 1.3.9.
|
|
|
|
1. You need gzip, download a binary distribution from
|
|
http://hpux.connect.org.uk/ftp/hpux/Gnu/gzip-1.2.4a/gzip-1.2.4a-sd
|
|
-10.20.depot.Z uncompress the file and install using swinstall.
|
|
2. You need gcc, download a binary distribution from
|
|
http://gatekeep.cs.utah.edu/ftp/hpux/Gnu/gcc-2.95.2/gcc-2.95.2-sd-
|
|
10.20.depot.gz. uncompress this file and install gcc using
|
|
swinstall.
|
|
3. You need the GNU binutils, you can download a binary distribution
|
|
from
|
|
http://hpux.connect.org.uk/ftp/hpux/Gnu/binutils-2.9.1/binutils-2.
|
|
9.1-sd-10.20.depot.gz. uncompress this file and install binutils
|
|
using swinstall.
|
|
4. You now need bison, you can download a binary distribution from
|
|
http://hpux.connect.org.uk/ftp/hpux/Gnu/bison-1.28/bison-1.28-sd-1
|
|
0.20.depot.gz, install as above.
|
|
5. You now need flex, you need to download the source from one of the
|
|
http://www.gnu.org mirrors. It is in the non-gnu directory of the
|
|
ftp site. Download the file, gunzip, then tar -xvf it. Go into the
|
|
newly created flex directory and run ./configure, followed by
|
|
make, and then make install.
|
|
If you have errors here, it's probably because gcc etc. are not in
|
|
your PATH so add them to your PATH.
|
|
6. Download the PHP and apache sources.
|
|
7. gunzip and tar -xvf them. We need to hack a couple of files so
|
|
that they can compile OK.
|
|
8. Firstly the configure file needs to be hacked because it seems to
|
|
lose track of the fact that you are a hpux machine, there will be
|
|
a better way of doing this but a cheap and cheerful hack is to put
|
|
lt_target=hpux10.20 on line 47286 of the configure script.
|
|
9. Next, the Apache GuessOS file needs to be hacked. Under
|
|
apache_1.3.9/src/helpers change line 89 from echo
|
|
"hp${HPUXMACH}-hpux${HPUXVER}"; exit 0 to: echo
|
|
"hp${HPUXMACH}-hp-hpux${HPUXVER}"; exit 0
|
|
10. You cannot install PHP as a shared object under HP-UX so you must
|
|
compile it as a static, just follow the instructions at the Apache
|
|
page.
|
|
11. PHP and Apache should have compiled OK, but Apache won't start.
|
|
you need to create a new user for Apache, e.g. www, or apache. You
|
|
then change lines 252 and 253 of the conf/httpd.conf in Apache so
|
|
that instead of
|
|
|
|
User nobody
|
|
Group nogroup
|
|
|
|
you have something like
|
|
|
|
User www
|
|
Group sys
|
|
|
|
This is because you can't run Apache as nobody under hp-ux. Apache
|
|
and PHP should then work.

OpenBSD installation notes
|
|
|
|
This section contains notes and hints specific to installing PHP on
|
|
OpenBSD 3.6.
|
|
_________________________________________________________________
|
|
|
|
Using Binary Packages
|
|
|
|
Using binary packages to install PHP on OpenBSD is the recommended and
|
|
simplest method. The core package has been separated from the various
|
|
modules, and each can be installed and removed independently from the
|
|
others. The files you need can be found on your OpenBSD CD or on the
|
|
FTP site.
|
|
|
|
The main package you need to install is php4-core-4.3.8.tgz, which
|
|
contains the basic engine (plus gettext and iconv). Next, take a look
|
|
at the module packages, such as php4-mysql-4.3.8.tgz or
|
|
php4-imap-4.3.8.tgz. You need to use the phpxs command to activate and
|
|
deactivate these modules in your php.ini.
|
|
|
|
Example 2-6. OpenBSD Package Install Example
|
|
# pkg_add php4-core-4.3.8.tgz
|
|
# /usr/local/sbin/phpxs -s
|
|
# cp /usr/local/share/doc/php4/php.ini-recommended /var/www/conf/php.ini
|
|
(add in mysql)
|
|
# pkg_add php4-mysql-4.3.8.tgz
|
|
# /usr/local/sbin/phpxs -a mysql
|
|
(add in imap)
|
|
# pkg_add php4-imap-4.3.8.tgz
|
|
# /usr/local/sbin/phpxs -a imap
|
|
(remove mysql as a test)
|
|
# pkg_delete php4-mysql-4.3.8
|
|
# /usr/local/sbin/phpxs -r mysql
|
|
(install the PEAR libraries)
|
|
# pkg_add php4-pear-4.3.8.tgz
|
|
|
|
Read the packages(7) manual page for more information about binary
|
|
packages on OpenBSD.
|
|
_________________________________________________________________
|
|
|
|
Using Ports
|
|
|
|
You can also compile up PHP from source using the ports tree. However,
|
|
this is only recommended for users familiar with OpenBSD. The PHP 4
|
|
port is split into two sub-directories: core and extensions. The
|
|
extensions directory generates sub-packages for all of the supported
|
|
PHP modules. If you find you do not want to create some of these
|
|
modules, use the no_* FLAVOR. For example, to skip building the imap
|
|
module, set the FLAVOR to no_imap.
|
|
_________________________________________________________________

|
|
|
Common Problems
|
|
|
|
* The default install of Apache runs inside a chroot(2) jail, which
|
|
will restrict PHP scripts to accessing files under /var/www. You
|
|
will therefore need to create a /var/www/tmp directory for PHP
|
|
session files to be stored, or use an alternative session backend.
|
|
In addition, database sockets need to be placed inside the jail or
|
|
listen on the localhost interface. If you use network functions,
|
|
some files from /etc such as /etc/resolv.conf and /etc/services
|
|
will need to be moved into /var/www/etc. The OpenBSD PEAR package
|
|
automatically installs into the correct chroot directories, so no
|
|
special modification is needed there. More information on the
|
|
OpenBSD Apache is available in the OpenBSD FAQ.
|
|
* The OpenBSD 3.6 package for the gd extension requires XFree86 to
|
|
be installed. If you do not wish to use some of the font features
|
|
that require X11, install the php4-gd-4.3.8-no_x11.tgz package
|
|
instead.

Older Releases
|
|
|
|
Older releases of OpenBSD used the FLAVORS system to compile up a
|
|
statically linked PHP. Since it is hard to generate binary packages
|
|
using this method, it is now deprecated. You can still use the old
|
|
stable ports trees if you wish, but they are unsupported by the
|
|
OpenBSD team. If you have any comments about this, the current
|
|
maintainer for the port is Anil Madhavapeddy (avsm at openbsd dot
|
|
org).

Solaris specific installation tips
|
|
|
|
This section contains notes and hints specific to installing PHP on
|
|
Solaris systems.
|
|
_________________________________________________________________
|
|
|
|
Required software
|
|
|
|
Solaris installs often lack C compilers and their related tools. Read
|
|
this FAQ for information on why using GNU versions for some of these
|
|
tools is necessary. The required software is as follows:
|
|
|
|
* gcc (recommended, other C compilers may work)
|
|
* make
|
|
* flex
|
|
* bison
|
|
* m4
|
|
* autoconf
|
|
* automake
|
|
* perl
|
|
* gzip
|
|
* tar
|
|
* GNU sed
|
|
|
|
In addition, you will need to install (and possibly compile) any
|
|
additional software specific to your configuration, such as Oracle or
|
|
MySQL.
|
|
_________________________________________________________________
|
|
|
|
Using Packages
|
|
|
|
You can simplify the Solaris install process by using pkgadd to
|
|
install most of your needed components.

Gentoo installation notes
|
|
|
|
This section contains notes and hints specific to installing PHP on
|
|
Gentoo Linux.
|
|
_________________________________________________________________
|
|
|
|
Using Portage (emerge)
|
|
|
|
While you can just download the PHP source and compile it yourself,
|
|
using Gentoo's packaging system is the simplest and cleanest method of
|
|
installing PHP. If you are not familiar with building software on
|
|
Linux, this is the way to go.
|
|
|
|
If you have built your Gentoo system so far, you are probably used to
|
|
Portage already. Installing Apache and PHP is no different than the
|
|
other system tools.
|
|
|
|
The first decision you need to make is whether you want to install
|
|
Apache 1.3.x or Apache 2.x. While both can be used with PHP, the steps
|
|
given below will use Apache 1.3.x. Another thing to consider is
|
|
whether your local Portage tree is up to date. If you have not updated
|
|
it recently, you need to run emerge sync before anything else. This
|
|
way, you will be using the most recent stable version of Apache and
|
|
PHP.
|
|
|
|
Now that everything is in place, you can use the following example to
|
|
install Apache and PHP:
|
|
|
|
Example 2-7. Gentoo Install Example with Apache 1.3
|
|
# emerge \<apache-2
|
|
# USE="-*" emerge php mod_php
|
|
# ebuild /var/db/pkg/dev-php/mod_php-<your PHP version>/mod_php-<your PHP versi
|
|
on>.ebuild config
|
|
# nano /etc/conf.d/apache
|
|
Add "-D PHP4" to APACHE_OPTS
|
|
|
|
# rc-update add apache default
|
|
# /etc/init.d/apache start
|
|
|
|
You can read more about emerge in the excellent Portage Manual
|
|
provided on the Gentoo website.
|
|
|
|
If you need to use Apache 2, you can simply use emerge apache in the
|
|
last example.
|
|
_________________________________________________________________
|
|
|
|
Better control on configuration
|
|
|
|
In the last section, PHP was emerged without any activated modules. As
|
|
of this writing, the only module activated by default with Portage is
|
|
XML which is needed by PEAR. This may not be what you want and you
|
|
will soon discover that you need more activated modules, like MySQL,
|
|
gettext, GD, etc.
|
|
|
|
When you compile PHP from source yourself, you need to activate
|
|
modules via the configure command. With Gentoo, you can simply provide
|
|
USE flags which will be passed to the configure script automatically.
|
|
To see which USE flags to use with emerge, you can try:
|
|
|
|
Example 2-8. Getting the list of valid USE flags
|
|
# USE="-*" emerge -pv php
|
|
|
|
[ebuild N ] dev-php/php-4.3.6-r1 -X -berkdb -crypt -curl -debug -doc
|
|
-fdftk -firebird -flash -freetds -gd -gd-external -gdbm -gmp -hardenedphp
|
|
-imap -informix -ipv6 -java -jpeg -kerberos -ldap -mcal -memlimit -mssql
|
|
-mysql -ncurses -nls -oci8 -odbc -pam -pdflib -png -postgres -qt -readline
|
|
-snmp -spell -ssl -tiff -truetype -xml2 -yaz 3,876 kB
|
|
|
|
As you can see from the last output, PHP considers a lot of USE flags.
|
|
Look at them closely and choose what you need. If you choose a flag
|
|
and you do not have the proper libraries, Portage will compile them
|
|
for you. It is a good idea to use emerge -pv again to see what Portage
|
|
will compile in accordance to your USE flags. As an example, if you do
|
|
not have X installed and you choose to include X in the USE flags,
|
|
Portage will compile X prior to PHP, which can take a couple of hours.
|
|
|
|
If you choose to compile PHP with MySQL, cURL and GD support, the
|
|
command will look something like this:
|
|
|
|
Example 2-9. Install PHP with USE flags
|
|
# USE="-* curl mysql gd" emerge php mod_php
|
|
|
|
As in the last example, do not forget to emerge php as well as
|
|
mod_php. php is responsible for the command line version of PHP as
|
|
mod_php is for the Apache module version of PHP.
|
|
_________________________________________________________________
|
|
|
|
Common Problems
|
|
|
|
* If you see the PHP source instead of the result the script should
|
|
produce, you have probably forgot to edit /etc/conf.d/apache.
|
|
Apache needs to be started with the -D PHP4 flag. To see if the
|
|
flag is present, you should be able to see it when using ps ax |
|
|
grep apache while Apache is running.
|
|
* Due to slotting problems, you might end up with more than one
|
|
version of PHP installed on your system. If this is the case, you
|
|
need to unmerge the old versions manually by using emerge unmerge
|
|
mod_php-<old version>.
|
|
* If you cannot emerge PHP because of Java, try putting -* in front
|
|
of your USE flags like in the above examples.
|
|
* If you are having problems configuring Apache and PHP, you can
|
|
always search the Gentoo Forums. Try searching with the keywords
|
|
"Apache PHP".

Chapter 3. Installation on Mac OS X
|
|
|
|
This section contains notes and hints specific to installing PHP on
|
|
Mac OS X. There are two slightly different versions of Mac OS X,
|
|
Client and Server, our manual deals with installing PHP on both
|
|
systems. Note that PHP is not available for MacOS 9 and earlier
|
|
versions.
|
|
_________________________________________________________________
|
|
|
|
Using Packages
|
|
|
|
There are a few pre-packaged and pre-compiled versions of PHP for Mac
|
|
OS X. This can help in setting up a standard configuration, but if you
|
|
need to have a different set of features (such as a secure server, or
|
|
a different database driver), you may need to build PHP and/or your
|
|
web server yourself. If you are unfamiliar with building and compiling
|
|
your own software, it's worth checking whether somebody has already
|
|
built a packaged version of PHP with the features you need.
|
|
_________________________________________________________________
|
|
|
|
Compiling for OS X Server
|
|
|
|
Mac OS X Server install.
|
|
|
|
1. Get the latest distributions of Apache and PHP.
|
|
2. Untar them, and run the configure program on Apache like so.
|
|
|
|
./configure --exec-prefix=/usr \
|
|
--localstatedir=/var \
|
|
--mandir=/usr/share/man \
|
|
--libexecdir=/System/Library/Apache/Modules \
|
|
--iconsdir=/System/Library/Apache/Icons \
|
|
--includedir=/System/Library/Frameworks/Apache.framework/Versions/1.3/Headers \
|
|
--enable-shared=max \
|
|
--enable-module=most \
|
|
--target=apache
|
|
|
|
3. If you want the compiler to do some optimization, you may also
|
|
want to add this line:
|
|
|
|
setenv OPTIM=-O2
|
|
|
|
4. Next, go to the PHP 4 source directory and configure it.
|
|
|
|
./configure --prefix=/usr \
|
|
--sysconfdir=/etc \
|
|
--localstatedir=/var \
|
|
--mandir=/usr/share/man \
|
|
--with-xml \
|
|
--with-apache=/src/apache_1.3.12
|
|
|
|
If you have any other additions (MySQL, GD, etc.), be sure to add
|
|
them here. For the --with-apache string, put in the path to your
|
|
apache source directory, for example /src/apache_1.3.12.
|
|
5. Type make and make install. This will add a directory to your
|
|
Apache source directory under src/modules/php4.
|
|
6. Now, reconfigure Apache to build in PHP 4.
|
|
|
|
./configure --exec-prefix=/usr \
|
|
--localstatedir=/var \
|
|
--mandir=/usr/share/man \
|
|
--libexecdir=/System/Library/Apache/Modules \
|
|
--iconsdir=/System/Library/Apache/Icons \
|
|
--includedir=/System/Library/Frameworks/Apache.framework/Versions/1.3/Headers \
|
|
--enable-shared=max \
|
|
--enable-module=most \
|
|
--target=apache \
|
|
--activate-module=src/modules/php4/libphp4.a
|
|
|
|
You may get a message telling you that libmodphp4.a is out of
|
|
date. If so, go to the src/modules/php4 directory inside your
|
|
Apache source directory and run this command: ranlib libmodphp4.a.
|
|
Then go back to the root of the Apache source directory and run
|
|
the above configure command again. That'll bring the link table up
|
|
to date. Run make and make install again.
|
|
7. Copy and rename the php.ini-dist file to your bin directory from
|
|
your PHP 4 source directory: cp php.ini-dist
|
|
/usr/local/bin/php.ini or (if your don't have a local directory)
|
|
cp php.ini-dist /usr/bin/php.ini.

Compiling for MacOS X Client
|
|
|
|
The following instructions will help you install a PHP module for the
|
|
Apache web server included in MacOS X. This version includes support
|
|
for the MySQL and PostgreSQL databases. These instructions are
|
|
graciously provided by Marc Liyanage.
|
|
|
|
Warning
|
|
|
|
Be careful when you do this, you could screw up your Apache web
|
|
server!
|
|
|
|
Do this to install:
|
|
|
|
1. Open a terminal window.
|
|
2. Type wget
|
|
http://www.diax.ch/users/liyanage/software/macosx/libphp4.so.gz,
|
|
wait for the download to finish.
|
|
3. Type gunzip libphp4.so.gz.
|
|
4. Type sudo apxs -i -a -n php4 libphp4.so
|
|
5. Now type sudo open -a TextEdit /etc/httpd/httpd.conf. TextEdit
|
|
will open with the web server configuration file. Locate these two
|
|
lines towards the end of the file: (Use the Find command)
|
|
|
|
#AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
|
|
#AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
|
|
|
|
Remove the two hash marks (#), then save the file and quit
|
|
TextEdit.
|
|
6. Finally, type sudo apachectl graceful to restart the web server.
|
|
|
|
PHP should now be up and running. You can test it by dropping a file
|
|
into your Sites folder which is called test.php. Into that file, write
|
|
this line: <?php phpinfo() ?>.
|
|
|
|
Now open up 127.0.0.1/~your_username/test.php in your web browser. You
|
|
should see a status table with information about the PHP module.

Chapter 4. Installation of PECL extensions
|
|
|
|
Introduction to PECL Installations
|
|
|
|
PHP extensions may be installed in a variety of ways. PECL is a
|
|
repository of PHP extensions living within the PEAR structure, and the
|
|
following demonstrates how to install these extensions.
|
|
|
|
These instructions assume /your/phpsrcdir/ is the path to the PHP
|
|
source, and extname is the name of the PECL extension. Adjust
|
|
accordingly. These instructions also assume a familiarity with the
|
|
pear command.
|
|
|
|
Shared extensions may be installed by including them inside of php.ini
|
|
using the extension PHP directive. See also the extensions_dir
|
|
directive, and dl(). The installation methods described below do not
|
|
automatically configure PHP to include these extensions, this step
|
|
must be done manually.
|
|
|
|
When building PHP modules, it's important to have the appropriate
|
|
versions of the required tools (autoconf, automake, libtool, etc.) See
|
|
the Anonymous CVS Instructions for details on the required tools, and
|
|
required versions.
|
|
_________________________________________________________________
|
|
|
|
Downloading PECL extensions
|
|
|
|
There are several options for downloading PECL extensions, such as:
|
|
|
|
* http://pecl.php.net
|
|
Listed here is information like the ChangeLog, release
|
|
information, requirements, revisions, etc. Although not every PECL
|
|
extension has a webpage, most do.
|
|
* pear download extname
|
|
The pear command may also be used to download source files.
|
|
Specific revisions may also be specified.
|
|
* CVS
|
|
All PECL files reside in CVS. A web-based view may be seen at
|
|
http://cvs.php.net/pecl/. To download straight from CVS, consider
|
|
the following where phpfi is the password for user cvsread:
|
|
|
|
$ cvs -d:pserver:cvsread@cvs.php.net:/repository login
|
|
$ cvs -d:pserver:cvsread@cvs.php.net:/repository co pecl/extname
|
|
|
|
* Windows downloads
|
|
Windows users may find compiled PECL binaries by downloading the
|
|
Collection of PECL modules from the PHP Downloads page, and by
|
|
retrieving a PECL Snapshot. To compile PHP under Windows, read the
|
|
Win32 Build README.
|
|
_________________________________________________________________
|
|
|
|
PECL for Windows users
|
|
|
|
Like with any other PHP extension DLL, to install move the PECL
|
|
extension DLLs into the extension_dir folder and include them within
|
|
php.ini. For example:
|
|
|
|
extension=php_extname.dll
|
|
|
|
After doing this, restart the web server.
|
|
_________________________________________________________________
|
|
|
|
Compiling shared PECL extensions with PEAR
|
|
|
|
PEAR makes it easy to create shared PHP extensions. Using the pear
|
|
command, do the following:
|
|
|
|
$ pear install extname
|
|
|
|
That will download the source for extname, and compile it on the
|
|
system. This results in an extname.so file that may then be included
|
|
in php.ini
|
|
|
|
In case the systems preferred_state is set higher than an available
|
|
extname version, like it's set to stable and the extension is still in
|
|
beta, either alter the preferred_state via pear config-set or specify
|
|
a specific version of the PECL extension. For example:
|
|
|
|
$ pear install extname-0.1.1
|
|
|
|
Regardless, pear will copy this extname.so into the extensions
|
|
directory. Adjust php.ini accordingly.
|
|
_________________________________________________________________
|
|
|
|
Compiling shared PECL extensions with phpize
|
|
|
|
If using pear is not an option, like for building shared PECL
|
|
extensions from CVS, or for unreleased PECL packages, then creating a
|
|
shared extension may also be done by manually using the phpize
|
|
command. The pear command essentially does this but it may also be
|
|
done manually. Assuming the source file is named extname.tgz, and that
|
|
it was downloaded into the current directory, consider the following:
|
|
|
|
$ pear download extname
|
|
$ gzip -d < extname.tgz | tar -xvf -
|
|
$ cd extname
|
|
$ phpize
|
|
$ ./configure && make
|
|
|
|
Upon success, this will create extname.so and put it into the modules/
|
|
and/or .libs/ directory within the extname/ source. Move this shared
|
|
extension (extname.so) into the PHP extensions directory, and adjust
|
|
php.ini accordingly.
|
|
_________________________________________________________________
|
|
|
|
Compiling PECL extensions statically into PHP
|
|
|
|
To statically include the extension within the PHP build, put the
|
|
extensions source into the ext/ directory found in the PHP source. For
|
|
example:
|
|
|
|
$ cd /your/phpsrcdir/ext
|
|
$ pear download extname
|
|
$ gzip -d < extname.tgz | tar -xvf -
|
|
$ mv extname-x.x.x extname
|
|
$ rm package.xml
|
|
|
|
This will result in the following directory:
|
|
|
|
/your/phpsrcdir/ext/extname
|
|
|
|
From here, build PHP as normal:
|
|
|
|
$ cd /your/phpsrcdir
|
|
$ ./buildconf
|
|
$ ./configure --help
|
|
$ ./configure --with-extname --enable-someotherext --with-foobar
|
|
$ make
|
|
$ make install
|
|
|
|
Whether --enable-extname or --with-extname is used depends on the
|
|
extension. Typically an extension that does not require external
|
|
libraries uses --enable. To be sure, run the following after
|
|
buildconf:
|
|
|
|
$ ./configure --help | grep extname
|
|

|
|
|
Read the FAQ
|
|
|

|
Other problems
|
|
|
|
If you are still stuck, someone on the PHP installation mailing list
|
|
may be able to help you. You should check out the archive first, in
|
|
case someone already answered someone else who had the same problem as
|
|
you. The archives are available from the support page on
|
|
http://www.php.net/support.php. To subscribe to the PHP installation
|
|
mailing list, send an empty mail to
|
|
php-install-subscribe@lists.php.net. The mailing list address is
|
|
php-install@lists.php.net.
|
|
|
|
If you want to get help on the mailing list, please try to be precise
|
|
and give the necessary details about your environment (which operating
|
|
system, what PHP version, what web server, if you are running PHP as
|
|
CGI or a server module, safe mode, etc...), and preferably enough code
|
|
to make others able to reproduce and test your problem.

|
Bug reports
|
|
|
|
If you think you have found a bug in PHP, please report it. The PHP
|
|
developers probably don't know about it, and unless you report it,
|
|
chances are it won't be fixed. You can report bugs using the
|
|
bug-tracking system at http://bugs.php.net/. Please do not send bug
|
|
reports in mailing list or personal letters. The bug system is also
|
|
suitable to submit feature requests.
|

Chapter 6. Runtime Configuration
|
|
|
|
The configuration file
|
|
|
|
The configuration file (called php3.ini in PHP 3, and simply php.ini
|
|
as of PHP 4) is read when PHP starts up. For the server module
|
|
versions of PHP, this happens only once when the web server is
|
|
started. For the CGI and CLI version, it happens on every invocation.
|
|
|
|
The default location of php.ini is a compile time option (see the FAQ
|
|
entry), but can be changed for the CGI and CLI version with the -c
|
|
command line switch, see the chapter about using PHP from the command
|
|
line. You can also use the environment variable PHPRC for an
|
|
additional path to search for a php.ini file.
|
|
|
|
If php-SAPI.ini exists (where SAPI is used SAPI, so the filename is
|
|
e.g. php-cli.ini or php-apache.ini), it's used instead of php.ini.
|
|
|
|
Note: The Apache web server changes the directory to root at
|
|
startup causing PHP to attempt to read php.ini from the root
|
|
filesystem if it exists.
|
|
|
|
The php.ini directives handled by extensions are documented
|
|
respectively on the pages of the extensions themselves. The list of
|
|
the core directives is available in the appendix. Probably not all the
|
|
PHP directives are documented in the manual though. For a completel
|
|
list of directives available in your PHP version, please read your
|
|
well commented php.ini file. Alternatively, you may find the the
|
|
latest php.ini from CVS helpful too.
|
|
|
|
Example 6-1. php.ini example
|
|
; any text on a line after an unquoted semicolon (;) is ignored
|
|
[php] ; section markers (text within square brackets) are also ignored
|
|
; Boolean values can be set to either:
|
|
; true, on, yes
|
|
; or false, off, no, none
|
|
register_globals = off
|
|
track_errors = yes
|
|
|
|
; you can enclose strings in double-quotes
|
|
include_path = ".:/usr/local/lib/php"
|
|
|
|
; backslashes are treated the same as any other character
|
|
include_path = ".;c:\php\lib"

How to change configuration settings
|
|
|
|
Running PHP as an Apache module
|
|
|
|
When using PHP as an Apache module, you can also change the
|
|
configuration settings using directives in Apache configuration files
|
|
(e.g. httpd.conf) and .htaccess files. You will need "AllowOverride
|
|
Options" or "AllowOverride All" privileges to do so.
|
|
|
|
With PHP 4 and PHP 5, there are several Apache directives that allow
|
|
you to change the PHP configuration from within the Apache
|
|
configuration files. For a listing of which directives are
|
|
PHP_INI_ALL, PHP_INI_PERDIR, or PHP_INI_SYSTEM, have a look at the
|
|
List of php.ini directives appendix.
|
|
|
|
Note: With PHP 3, there are Apache directives that correspond to
|
|
each configuration setting in the php3.ini name, except the name is
|
|
prefixed by "php3_".
|
|
|
|
php_value name value
|
|
Sets the value of the specified directive. Can be used only
|
|
with PHP_INI_ALL and PHP_INI_PERDIR type directives. To clear a
|
|
previously set value use none as the value.
|
|
|
|
Note: Don't use php_value to set boolean values. php_flag (see
|
|
below) should be used instead.
|
|
|
|
php_flag name on|off
|
|
Used to set a boolean configuration directive. Can be used only
|
|
with PHP_INI_ALL and PHP_INI_PERDIR type directives.
|
|
|
|
php_admin_value name value
|
|
Sets the value of the specified directive. This can not be used
|
|
in .htaccess files. Any directive type set with php_admin_value
|
|
can not be overridden by .htaccess or virtualhost directives.
|
|
To clear a previously set value use none as the value.
|
|
|
|
php_admin_flag name on|off
|
|
Used to set a boolean configuration directive. This can not be
|
|
used in .htaccess files. Any directive type set with
|
|
php_admin_flag can not be overridden by .htaccess or
|
|
virtualhost directives.
|
|
|
|
Example 6-2. Apache configuration example
|
|
<IfModule mod_php5.c>
|
|
php_value include_path ".:/usr/local/lib/php"
|
|
php_admin_flag safe_mode on
|
|
</IfModule>
|
|
<IfModule mod_php4.c>
|
|
php_value include_path ".:/usr/local/lib/php"
|
|
php_admin_flag safe_mode on
|
|
</IfModule>
|
|
<IfModule mod_php3.c>
|
|
php3_include_path ".:/usr/local/lib/php"
|
|
php3_safe_mode on
|
|
</IfModule>
|
|
|
|
Caution
|
|
|
|
PHP constants do not exist outside of PHP. For example, in httpd.conf
|
|
you can not use PHP constants such as E_ALL or E_NOTICE to set the
|
|
error_reporting directive as they will have no meaning and will
|
|
evaluate to 0. Use the associated bitmask values instead. These
|
|
constants can be used in php.ini

Changing PHP configuration via the Windows registry
|
|
|
|
When running PHP on Windows, the configuration values can be modified
|
|
on a per-directory basis using the Windows registry. The configuration
|
|
values are stored in the registry key HKLM\SOFTWARE\PHP\Per Directory
|
|
Values, in the sub-keys corresponding to the path names. For example,
|
|
configuration values for the directory c:\inetpub\wwwroot would be
|
|
stored in the key HKLM\SOFTWARE\PHP\Per Directory
|
|
Values\c\inetpub\wwwroot. The settings for the directory would be
|
|
active for any script running from this directory or any subdirectory
|
|
of it. The values under the key should have the name of the PHP
|
|
configuration directive and the string value. PHP constants in the
|
|
values are not parsed. However, only configuration values changeable
|
|
in PHP_INI_USER can be set this way, PHP_INI_PERDIR values can not.

Other interfaces to PHP
|
|
|
|
Regardless of how you run PHP, you can change certain values at
|
|
runtime of your scripts through ini_set(). See the documentation on
|
|
the ini_set() page for more information.
|
|
|
|
If you are interested in a complete list of configuration settings on
|
|
your system with their current values, you can execute the phpinfo()
|
|
function, and review the resulting page. You can also access the
|
|
values of individual configuration directives at runtime using
|
|
ini_get() or get_cfg_var().
