We have detailed instructions on how to set up PHP.net mirorrs at
http://php.net/mirroring - and since there are no mirrors in
Pakistan so
far, we are able to offer pk.php.net as the name for the mirror. You
need some linux/bsd based server with an Apache webserver and a recent
PHP as an Apache module installed. There are only a few mirrors running
PHP 5, most of them use PHP 4, which is sufficient for a PHP mirror.
Let us know if you have any more questions. Please use 'reply-all', so
that every addressed email destination gets your reply.
