PHP is available to download from http://www.php.net/
See also the apache notes.
If required, you now want to install PHP via the following commands:-
gunzip php-4.4.7.tar.gz tar -xvf php-4.4.7.tar cd php-4.4.7 ./configure --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs --with-config-file-path=/etc/php.ini make make install
Finally copy the default PHP configuration file to the relevant location, given in the previous ./configure command. Type cp php.ini-dist /etc/php.ini
Installation is pretty much the same as for PHP 4. Don't forget to change the relevant path to Apache in the ./configure command, if it varies from my default location.
wget http://uk.php.net/distributions/php-5.2.6.tar.gz gunzip php-5.2.6.tar.gz tar -xvf php-5.2.6.tar cd php-5.2.6 ./configure --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs --with-config-file-path=/etc/php.ini make make install cp php.ini-dist /etc/php.ini
PHP 5 requires libxml2 version 2.6.11 or greater:-
wget http://xmlsoft.org/sources/libxml2-2.6.31.tar.gz gunzip libxml2-2.6.31.tar.gz tar -xvf libxml2-2.6.31.tar cd libxml2-2.6.31 .configure make make install
