syntaxerror Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 to whom it may concern, just wanted to ask if there's a place where i might find installation instructions for php 5.+ on linux via source (.tar.gz file) i haven't had sufficient time to really get into it, so if anyone might know a straightforward guide for this that i may be able to use... better if included source installation for apache and mysql as well... btw, wouldn't it be helpful if we have sticky's for such, basic installations... options to install php get it going, wamp, xamp, windows-apache-mysql-php, linux-apache-mysql-php(using .tar.gz, using apt, using deb, using rpm...) it might sound like spoonfeeding, but i really just want to focus on php-mysql development more than anything else, thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 Why would you need to install php from source on Debian? Debian provides perfectly good packages for php and most all of its extensions. Any other extensions you may need can easily be built seperately if needed. If you still must install from source, there is instructions on the php.net site. But its a pretty simple process, the same as building most anything from source in Linux.... cd php-source-dir ./configure --help ## select ./configure options make && make install Of course building from source will mean you'll need to sort out any dependency issues yourself.
