Compile Apache 2.0.59 with PHP4.4.5?

Hi Everyone!

Is there a need to compile my Apache 2.0.59 if I will use PHP4.4.5?
How can I apply my Apache to PHP4.4.5 or I might ask how will I use my Apache properly with PHP4.4.5?

This is my first time to use Apache with PHP.

Please help me.

Thanks in advance.

Jon

Why would you want to use PHP4 ?

What OS are you using?

Heya, Jon.

PHP installs as a shared module for Apache. You have to compile PHP with Apache already installed, but you do not have to recompile Apache to install PHP.

All you have to do is add this to your configure string for PHP:

./configure ... --with-apxs2=/path/to/apxs/usually/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs

I heard from my collegue that PHP4 has no bug and compatible with Apache 2.

Solaris 9.

PHP 5 has been in development for quite some time and the PHP developers have done an excellent job of debugging it.
It to is indeed very compatible with Apache 2.

I would strongly recommend using PHP 5, unless you have a very good reason to use PHP 4.

Check this out GoPHP5.org

Note that PHP 4 has been DISCONTINUED.

I'd recommend going with PHP 5. If you `make test`, and you get lots of FAILs, you can always change your configuration parameters, or even downgrade, before you install anything.

P.S., running PHP 5.2.3 with Apache 2.2.4 on a MacBook (*n?x) just fine over here :)
With GD!
