<application>PHP</application> is the PHP Hypertext Preprocessor.
Primarily used in dynamic web sites, it allows for programming code to be
directly embedded into the HTML markup. It is also useful as a
general purpose scripting language.

You can use <application>PHP</application> for server-side
scripting, command-line scripting or client-side GUI applications. This
book provides instructions for setting up <application>PHP</application>
for server-side scripting as it is the most common form.
</para>
<note>
<para>
<application>PHP</application> has many more
<command>configure</command> options that will enable support for
various things. You can use <command>./configure --help</command> to
see a full list of the available options. Also, use of the
<ulink url="http://www.php.net/">PHP web site</ulink>
is highly recommended, as their online docs are very good. An example
of a <command>configure</command> command that utilizes many of the
most common dependencies can be found at <ulink
url="&sources-anduin-http;/files/php_configure.txt"/>.
</para>
<para>
If, for whatever reason, you don't have <xref linkend="libxml2"/>
installed, you need to add <option>--disable-libxml</option> to the
<command>configure</command> command in the instructions below. Note
that this will prevent the <command>pear</command> command from being
built.

<title>Configuration Information</title>
<para>
The file used as the default <filename>/etc/php.ini</filename>
configuration file is recommended by the <application>PHP</application>
development team. This file modifies the default behavior of
<application>PHP</application>. If no <filename>/etc/php.ini</filename>
is used, all configuration settings fall to the defaults. You should
review the comments in this file and ensure the changes are acceptable
in your particular environment.
</para>
<para>
The fastCGI process manager uses the configuration file
<filename>/etc/php-fpm.conf</filename>. The default file shipped with
PHP includes all the <filename>/etc/php-fpm.d/*.conf</filename> in turn.
There is a shipped <filename>/etc/php-fpm.d/www.conf</filename> file,
that contains the parameters related to the interaction with the Apache
Web server.
</para>
<para>
You may have noticed the following from the output of the
<command>make install</command> command:
</para>
<screen><computeroutput>You may want to add: /usr/lib/php to your php.ini include_path</computeroutput></screen>
<para>
If desired, add the entry using the following command as the
<systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> user:
</para>
<screen role="root"><userinput>sed -i 's@php/includes"@&amp;\ninclude_path = ".:/usr/lib/php"@' \
/etc/php.ini</userinput></screen>
<para>
To enable fastCGI support in the <application>Apache</application>
web server, two LoadModule directives must be added to the
<filename>httpd.conf</filename> file. They are commented out, so just
issue the following command as
<systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> user:
</para>
<screen role="root"><userinput>sed -i -e '/proxy_module/s/^#//' \
-e '/proxy_fcgi_module/s/^#//' \
/etc/httpd/httpd.conf</userinput></screen>
<para>
Those modules accept various <command>ProxyPass</command>
directives. One possibility is (as the
<systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> user):
</para>
<screen role="root"><userinput>echo \
'ProxyPassMatch ^/(.*\.php)$ fcgi://127.0.0.1:9000/srv/www/$1' >> \
/etc/httpd/httpd.conf</userinput></screen>
<para>
Additionally, it may be useful to add an entry for
<filename>index.php</filename> to the DirectoryIndex directive of the
<filename>httpd.conf</filename> file. Lastly, adding a line to setup the
<filename class='extension'>.phps</filename> extension to show
highlighted <application>PHP</application> source may be
desirable:
</para>
<screen><literal>AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps</literal></screen>
<para>
You'll need to restart the <application>Apache</application> web server
after making any modifications to the <filename>httpd.conf</filename>
file.
