To process PHP scripts, you will need a PHP-enabled HTTP server.  You may
either configure the HTTP server to use the PHP CGI binary located in

	${CGIDIR}/php

or you may install a PHP module for your HTTP server, e.g. ap-php4.

Some additional packages you may wish to install are:

	php-dba		DBM database access
	php-iconv	character set conversion

Note that php4-pcre, php4-session and php4-xml are no longer separate
packages since version 4.3.3 because the main PHP4 package has them
built-in now.

Note that php-openssl is no longer a separate package as of version
4.4.0nb2 because the main PHP4 package has it built-in now.
===========================================================================
Create a php4 package upon which both HTTP/PHP4 servers and PHP4 extension modules depend. Move most of the guts of the ap-php4 package into this one. 2000-12-17 10:19:32 +01:00			`===========================================================================`

Make this package look more like php3 by installing a php binary for use as a CGI executable for HTTP servers without a SAPI module. 2000-12-17 22:33:55 +01:00			`To process PHP scripts, you will need a PHP-enabled HTTP server. You may`

Unfortunately PHP has several openssl hooks, which are only enabled when the base PHP is compiled with openssl extension (e.g. ssl://, tls:// stream support, and couple others). These don't work when SSL support is loaded via extension. For this reason, make openssl extension unconditionally built-in into the main PHP package, and g/c security/php-openssl. 2005-10-08 18:49:35 +02:00
