RE: [PHP-INST] This VS that?

This method compiles the libphp directly into the Apache binary, thus it is 'supposed' to be faster. The problem is the negative side of doing this. With PHP's frequent releases, a user would need to be re-compiling Apache each time a new build of PHP was being installed (thus the reason most ISP's do NOT upgrade each time). I prefer to conf php as a DSO...this way it's quite simple to upgrade php each time without affecting apache at all.

I was reading through the installation help on php.net and noticed this little option for configure ./configure --with-apache=/path/to/apache_source And the text that follows. "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." Now, is there anything to be won with using this method than the "usual" (in my case ./configure --with-apxs2=/bla/blabla? // Ken -- PHP Install Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
