HP apache server and PHP upgrade

[Mario_Moranpopa.hn]

Hi All,

I??d like to upgrade the PHP that comes with HP apache web server (4.2.3) to the latest version (4.3.2) but don??t know what options to set in PHP's configure to have the same extensions and funtionality.

Please advice, and thanks!

Hi Mario,

I didn't know HP's Apache came with PHP... I thought it was simply support for PHP which still required you to compile from source. If it is indeed installed, would you happen to know the default installation path? I checked on my system with swlist and didn't find any trace of PHP being installed on my system and I also have Apache...

Please let me know, because I have another post floating around in the forum asking for help on my PHP install...

Thanks!

J.

Hi,
In order to know the the options used for compilation on a running php stack, this little script can help you :

phpinfo();
?>

copy this 3 lines in a info.php file, copy this file to your Apache tree, and access to it through a browser, you should see the options used for compilation.

And I agree, you need to install from sources, because there are many options in PHP (Databases accesses).
With the latest version compilation is easier, some bugs were fixed...

hope that Help
Benoit
