Additional PHP Options
I'm upgrading to PHP 4.3.0
What additional packages would you suggest?
I currently have:
Mcrypt
MySQL
zLib
Bz2
obdc
XML
openSSL
sockets
sessions
They were picked from running php -m
Is the Zend Optimizer worth running?

What is GD?
How about the Zend Optimizer?? I'm thinking of installing it... is it worth it?

The GD library allows you to manipulate images.
From what I hear about the Zend Optimizer, it's worth it, but I haven't personal experience with it.

The new release of php has gd installed in it already,
I would do zend optimizer also.
postgre is not commonly needed. I would wait on that unless you require it.

The latest release (4.3.0) has the GD library bundled with it. You still have to compile with --with-gd; you just don't have to specify a path.

I think I read somewhere that 4.3 was to be the last of the version 4 series. Just a bug fix release.
I don't see any beta 5 releases, but I do see that the CVS version has been labled version 5. (http://snaps.php.net/)
I'm hoping that version 5 will be stamped 'stable with Apache 2'.

Well I decided on:
Mcrypt
MySQL
zLib
Bz2
obdc
XML
openSSL
sockets
GD
sessions
I ran phpinfo() on my 4.2.2 installation (which didn't have mcrypt -- which was what I really wanted) and got the ./configure for my 4.2.2 installation... and I dont even have most of the things installed... like imap -- NOTE: I installed PHP when I installed RH 8.0, so I didn't run ./configure
If you could, explain these to me:
--enable-calendar--enable-dio
--enable-force-cgi-redirect
--enable-memory-limit
--enable-bcmath
--enable-shmop
--enable-versioning
If I read the docs right, --with-apxs2=/usr/sbin/apxs is building it as a module of apache, right? well that failed when I had it as an option... yet I do have Apache 2
I tried configuring about 4000 times... some configured, but wouldn't make
I'll try again when I'm awake...

Try make clean and rm config.cache. I think you only need to rm config.cache when your recompiling after updating a dependency or something. But don't quote me on that.
You can read all about those directives here:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.configure.php
--enable-force-cgi-redirect
Enable the security check for internal server redirects. You should use this if you are running the CGI version with Apache.
--enable-memory-limit
Compile with memory limit support.
enable-versioning
Export only required symbols. See INSTALL for more information.
The others aren't on that page. I don't know what they do.
bc is a command line calculator for Unix (you can use it to do your algebra homework as it can use variables
). Though, I can't imagine that PHP would need to interface with a calculator.
