PHP install question

[Anthony Smith]

Let's say I installed php without the --enable-cli option. If I want to
to update php do I have to re-install it with all of my options or can
I just install it with the --enable-cli option?

confusing
what do you want to update or do you want to reinstall php ?

if you just want to reinstall php, then you have to have a look on
../configure --help which will give the option that are set (I suppose but
I might be wrong). you might want to keep the opption in a script

I am using php 5.2.0 but when I installed it I did not do include the
--enable-cli option. Now I want to include it. I am just not sure if I
have to include all of the other options. But it is the same version of
php.

When you recompile, you have to specify all of the options you want.

Yes! The new binary will write over the old. Its not like doing a software
installation on Windows where you can run the setup program to change program
settings. The php program actually gets recompiled. Typically when I do a PHP
install, I save the configuration in a file in the source and run it as a script
in the bash shell. This makes changing the configuration easier. It also helps
when you go to upgrade. In my source file, I have a script called runconfig.sh.
I've set the permissions so I can execute it as root. My file looks like this:

#/bin/bash
../configure --prefix=/usr/local \
--with-config-file-path=/usr/local/php \
--enable-calendar \
--enable-cli \
--enable-sockets \
--enable-ftp \
--enable-mbstring=all \
--enable-mbregex \
--with-apxs2=/usr/local/httpd/bin/apxs \
--with-xsl \
--with-curl=/usr/local \
--with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql \
--with-mysqli=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config \
--with-gd=/usr/local \
--with-freetype-dir=/usr/local \
--with-zlib-dir=/usr/local
Doing this makes life much easier.
