[SOLVED] Configuration Options


Recommended Posts

Hey guys,

 

Is there a list somewhere of all the different options you can configure the current stable release of PHP 5 with on Unix? i.e ./configure --with-mysql

 

The PHP install guide (http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.unix.php) says to just go ./configure --help, however i don't have access to the server to run this command (or any Unix boxes for that matter).

 

Also, do you lads have a list of recommended things to configure it with? I only get one shot at this and would like to future proof it so it does not need to be recompiled at a later date. I'm thinking PHP Pear (mail ect), Net-SNMP, OCI8 and the GD graphics library. Anything else?

 

Cheers
