PHP Installation
To install PHP on your system, follow these steps:
Download the latest stable version of PHP from the official website: https://www.php.net/downloads.php. Choose the appropriate package for your operating system and architecture.
Extract the downloaded archive to a directory of your choice. For example, you could extract it to
/usr/local/php
.Configure PHP by running the
./configure
script in the extracted directory. This will check your system for any required libraries or dependencies, and generate the necessary makefiles for the installation. For example, you could run the following command:javascript./configure --prefix=/usr/local/php --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs
This configures PHP to install to
/usr/local/php
, and to use the Apache web server'sapxs
tool to build and install the PHP Apache module.Compile and install PHP by running the
make
andmake install
commands. For example, you could run the following commands:gomake sudo make install
This will compile the PHP source code and install the resulting binaries, libraries, and configuration files to your system.
Verify that PHP is installed correctly by creating a PHP file and running it in your web browser. For example, you could create a file named
test.php
with the following contents:php<?php phpinfo(); ?>
Then, place this file in your Apache web server's document root directory (e.g.
/usr/local/apache2/htdocs/
), and navigate to it in your web browser (e.g. http://localhost/test.php). If PHP is installed and configured correctly, you should see a page with detailed information about your PHP installation.
That's it! You now have a working installation of PHP on your system.
