What is PHP?
PHP (recursive acronym for "PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor") is a widely-used Open ource !eneral-purpose scriptin! lan!ua!e that is especially suited for We" development and can "e em"edded into H#$%& imple answer' "ut what does that mean? (n example: E ample 1!1. "n introductor# e ample
<html> <head> <title>Example</title> </head> <body> <?php echo "Hi, I'm a PHP script!"; ?> </body> </html>
)otice how this is different from a script written in other lan!ua!es li*e Perl or + -- instead of writin! a pro!ram with lots of commands to output H#$%' you write an H#$% script with some em"edded code to do somethin! (in this case' output some text)& #he PHP code is enclosed in special start and end ta!s that allow you to ,ump into and out of "PHP mode"& What distin!uishes PHP from somethin! li*e client-side -ava cript is that the code is executed on the server& .f you were to have a script similar to the a"ove on your server' the client would receive the results of runnin! that script' with no way of determinin! what the underlyin! code may "e& /ou can even confi!ure your we" server to process all your H#$% files with PHP' and then there0s really no way that users can tell what you have up your sleeve& #he "est thin!s in usin! PHP are that it is extremely simple for a newcomer' "ut offers many advanced features for a professional pro!rammer& 1on0t "e afraid readin! the lon! list of PHP0s features& /ou can ,ump in' in a short time' and start writin! simple scripts in a few hours& (lthou!h PHP0s development is focused on server-side scriptin!' you can do much more with it& 2ead on' and see more in the What can PHP do? section' or !o ri!ht to the introductory tutorial if you are only interested in we" pro!rammin!&
What can PHP do?

(nythin!& PHP is mainly focused on server-side scriptin!' so you can do anythin! any other +3. pro!ram can do' such as collect form data' !enerate dynamic pa!e content' or send and receive coo*ies& 4ut PHP can do much more& #here are three main areas where PHP scripts are used&
erver-side scriptin!& #his is the most traditional and main tar!et field for PHP& /ou need three thin!s to ma*e this wor*& #he PHP parser (+3. or server module)' a we"server and a we" "rowser& /ou need to run the we"server' with a connected PHP installation& /ou can access the PHP pro!ram output with a we" "rowser' viewin! the PHP pa!e throu!h the server& (ll these can run on your home machine if you are ,ust experimentin! with PHP pro!rammin!& ee the installation instructions section for more information& +ommand line scriptin!& /ou can ma*e a PHP script to run it without any server or "rowser& /ou only need the PHP parser to use it this way& #his type of usa!e is ideal for scripts re!ularly executed usin! cron (on 5nix or %inux) or #as* cheduler (on Windows)& #hese scripts can also "e used for simple text processin! tas*s& ee the section a"out +ommand line usa!e of PHP for more information& Writin! des*top applications& PHP is pro"a"ly not the very "est lan!ua!e to create a des*top application with a !raphical user interface' "ut if you *now PHP very well' and would li*e to use some advanced PHP features in your client-side applications you can also use PHP-3#6 to write such pro!rams& /ou also have the a"ility to write crossplatform applications this way& PHP-3#6 is an extension to PHP' not availa"le in the main distri"ution& .f you are interested in PHP-3#6' visit its own we"site&
PHP can "e used on all ma,or operatin! systems' includin! %inux' many 7nix variants (includin! HP-78' olaris and Open4 1)' $icrosoft Windows' $ac O 8' 2. + O ' and pro"a"ly others& PHP has also support for most of the we" servers today& #his includes (pache' $icrosoft .nternet .nformation erver' Personal We" erver' )etscape and iPlanet servers' Oreilly We"site Pro server' +audium' 8itami' OmniH##Pd' and many others& 9or the ma,ority of the servers PHP has a module' for the others supportin! the +3. standard' PHP can wor* as a +3. processor& o with PHP' you have the freedom of choosin! an operatin! system and a we" server& 9urthermore' you also have the choice of usin! procedural pro!rammin! or o",ect oriented pro!rammin!' or a mixture of them& (lthou!h not every standard OOP feature is implemented in PHP :' many code li"raries and lar!e applications (includin! the P;(2 li"rary) are written only usin! OOP code& PHP < fixes the OOP related wea*nesses of PHP :' and introduces a complete o",ect model& With PHP you are not limited to output H#$%& PHP0s a"ilities includes outputtin! ima!es' P19 files and even 9lash movies (usin! li"swf and $in!) !enerated on the fly& /ou can also output easily any text' such as 8H#$% and any other 8$% file& PHP can auto!enerate these files' and save them in the file system' instead of printin! it out' formin! a server-side cache for your dynamic content& One of the stron!est and most si!nificant features in PHP is its support for a wide ran!e of data"ases& Writin! a data"ase-ena"led we" pa!e is incredi"ly simple& #he followin! data"ases are currently supported: (da"as 1 .nter4ase Post!re =% d4ase 9ront4ase =%ite ;mpress m =% olid 9ilePro (read-only) 1irect $ - =% y"ase Hyperwave $y =% >elocis .4$ 14?

%our first PHP!enabled pa&e

+reate a file named hello.php and put it in your we" server0s root directory (DOCUMENT_ROOT) with the followin! content: E ample $!1. 'ur first PHP script: hello.php

%et us do somethin! more useful now& We are !oin! to chec* what sort of "rowser the visitor is usin!& 9or that' we chec* the user a!ent strin! the "rowser sends as part of the H##P reDuest& #his information is stored in a varia"le& >aria"les always start with a dollar-si!n in PHP& #he varia"le we are interested in ri!ht now is (_)ER*ER+,HTT-_U)ER_./ENT,0& *ote: GH ;2>;2 is a special reserved PHP varia"le that contains all we" server information& .t is *nown as an auto!lo"al (or super!lo"al)& ee the related manual pa!e on super!lo"als for more information& #hese special varia"les were introduced in PHP :&I&J& 4efore this time' we used the older (HTT-_1_*.R) arrays instead' such as (HTT-_)ER*ER_*.R)& (lthou!h deprecated' these older varia"les still exist& ( ee also the note on old code&) #o display this varia"le' you can simply do: E ample $!0. Printin& a 1ariable ("rra# element)
<?php echo $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']; ?>

( sample output of this script may "e:
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1)

#here are many types of varia"les availa"le in PHP& .n the a"ove example we printed an (rray element& (rrays can "e very useful& (_)ER*ER is ,ust one varia"le that PHP automatically ma*es availa"le to you& ( list can "e seen in the 2eserved >aria"les section of the manual or you can !et a complete list of them "y loo*in! at the output of the phpinfo() function used in the example in the previous section& /ou can put multiple PHP statements inside a PHP ta! and create little "loc*s of code that do more than ,ust a sin!le echo& 9or example' if you want to chec* for .nternet ;xplorer you can do this: E ample $!2. E ample usin& control structures and functions
<?php if (strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'], 'MSIE') !== FALSE) { echo 'You are using Internet Explorer.<br />'; } ?>
You are using Internet Explorer.<br />

Here we introduce a couple of new concepts& We have an if statement& .f you are familiar with the "asic syntax used "y the + lan!ua!e' this should loo* lo!ical to you& Otherwise' you should pro"a"ly pic* up an introductory PHP "oo* and read the first couple of chapters' or read the %an!ua!e 2eference part of the manual& /ou can find a list of PHP "oo*s at E"oo*s&php& #he second concept we introduced was the strpos() function call& strpos() is a function "uilt into PHP which searches a strin! for another strin!& .n this case we are loo*in! for ,M)2E, (so-called needle) inside (_)ER*ER+,HTT-_U)ER_./ENT,0 (so-called haystac*)& .f the needle is found inside the haystac*' the function returns the position of the needle relative to the start of the haystac*& Otherwise' it returns FALSE& .f it does not return FALSE' the if expression evaluates to TRUE and the code within its K"racesL is executed& Otherwise' the code is not run& 9eel free to create similar examples' with if' else' and other functions such as strtoupper() and strlen()& ;ach related manual pa!e contains examples too& .f you
are unsure how to use functions' you will want to read "oth the manual pa!e on how to read a function definition and the section a"out PHP functions& We can ta*e this a step further and show how you can ,ump in and out of PHP mode even in the middle of a PHP "loc*: E ample $!3. 4i in& both HT4+ and PHP modes
<?php if (strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'], 'MSIE') !== FALSE) { ?> <h3>strpos() must have returned non-false</h3> <p>You are using Internet Explorer</p> <?php } else { ?> <h3>strpos() must have returned false</h3> <p>You are not using Internet Explorer</p> <?php } ?>
<h3>strpos() must have returned non-false</h3> <p>You are using Internet Explorer</p>
.nstead of usin! a PHP echo statement to output somethin!' we ,umped out of PHP mode and ,ust sent strai!ht H#$%& #he important and powerful point to note here is that the lo!ical flow of the script remains intact& Only one of the H#$% "loc*s will end up !ettin! sent to the viewer dependin! on the result of strpos()& .n other words' it depends on whether the strin! M)2E was found or not&
5ealin& with ,orms

One of the most powerful features of PHP is the way it handles H#$% forms& #he "asic concept that is important to understand is that any form element will automatically "e availa"le to your PHP scripts& Please read the manual section on >aria"les from outside of PHP for more information and examples on usin! forms with PHP& Here is an example H#$% form: E ample $!6. " simple HT4+ form
<form action="action.php" method="post"> <p>Your name: <input type="text" name="name" /></p> <p>Your age: <input type="text" name="age" /></p> <p><input type="submit" /></p> </form>
#here is nothin! special a"out this form& .t is a strai!ht H#$% form with no special ta!s of any *ind& When the user fills in this form and hits the su"mit "utton' the action.php pa!e is called& .n this file you would write somethin! li*e this: E ample $!7. Printin& data from our form
Hi <?php echo $_POST['name']; ?>. You are <?php echo $_POST['age']; ?> years old.
Hi Joe. You are 22 years old.

.t should "e o"vious what this does& #here is nothin! more to it& #he (_-O)T+, a3e,0 and (_-O)T+,a4e,0 varia"les are automatically set for you "y PHP& ;arlier we used the (_)ER*ER auto!lo"alM a"ove we ,ust introduced the GHPO # auto!lo"al which contains all PO # data& )otice how the 3ethod of our form is PO #& .f we used the method /ET then our form information would live in the GH3;# auto!lo"al instead& /ou may also use the GH2;=7; # auto!lo"al' if you do not care a"out the source of your reDuest data& .t contains the mer!ed information of 3;#' PO # and +OO6.; data& (lso see the import8re9uest81ariables() function& /ou can also deal with 89orms input in PHP' althou!h you will find yourself comforta"le with the well supported H#$% forms for Duite some time& While wor*in! with 89orms is not for "e!inners' you mi!ht "e interested in them& We also have a short introduction to handlin! data received from 89orms in our features section&
/sin& old code with new 1ersions of PHP

)ow that PHP has !rown to "e a popular scriptin! lan!ua!e' there are a lot of pu"lic repositories and li"raries containin! code you can reuse& #he PHP developers have lar!ely tried to preserve "ac*wards compati"ility' so a script written for an older version will run (ideally) without chan!es in a newer version of PHP& .n practice' some chan!es will usually "e needed& #wo of the most important recent chan!es that affect old code are:
#he deprecation of the old (HTT-_1_*.R) arrays (which need to "e indicated as !lo"al when used inside a function or method)& #he followin! auto!lo"al arrays were introduced in PHP :&I&J& #hey are: (_/ET' (_-O)T' (_COO52E' (_)ER*ER' (_627E)' (_EN*' (_RE8UE)T' and (_)E))2ON& #he older (HTT-_1_*.R) arrays' such as (HTT-_-O)T_*.R)' still exist as they have since PHP B& (s of PHP <&J&J' the lon! PHP predefined varia"le arrays may "e disa"led with the re!isterHlon!Harrays directive& ;xternal varia"les are no lon!er re!istered in the !lo"al scope "y default& .n other words' as of PHP :&?&J the PHP directive re!isterH!lo"als is o99 "y default in php.ini& #he preferred method of accessin! these values is via the auto!lo"al arrays mentioned a"ove& Older scripts' "oo*s' and tutorials may rely on this directive "ein! on& .f it were on' for example' one could use ('d from the 72% http://:::.e"a3ple.co3/9oo.php%'d;<2& Whether on or off' (_/ET+,'d,0 is availa"le&

10. Now, configure your PHP. This is where you customize your PHP with various options, like which extensions will be enabled. Do a ./configure --help for a list of available options. In our example we'll do a simple configure with Apache 1 and MySQL support. Your path to apxs may differ from our example. ./configure --with-mysql --with-apxs=/www/bin/apxs 11. make 12. make install If you decide to change your configure options after installation, you only need to repeat the last three steps. You only need to restart apache for the new module to take effect. A recompile of Apache is not needed. Note that unless told otherwise, 'make install' will also install PEAR, various PHP tools such as phpize, install the PHP CLI, and more. 13. Setup your php.ini file: cp php.ini-dist /usr/local/lib/php.ini You may edit your .ini file to set PHP options. If you prefer your php.ini in another location, use --with-config-file-path=/some/path in step 10. If you instead choose php.ini-recommended, be certain to read the list of changes within, as they affect how PHP behaves. 14. Edit your httpd.conf to load the PHP module. The path on the right hand side of the LoadModule statement must point to the path of the PHP module on your system. The make install from above may have already added this for you, but be sure to check. For PHP 4: LoadModule php4_module libexec/libphp4.so For PHP 5: LoadModule php5_module libexec/libphp5.so 15. And in the AddModule section of httpd.conf, somewhere under the
ClearModuleList, add this: For PHP 4: AddModule mod_php4.c For PHP 5: AddModule mod_php5.c 16. Tell Apache to parse certain extensions as PHP. For example, let's have Apache parse the .php extension as PHP. You could have any extension(s) parse as PHP by simply adding more, with each separated by a space. We'll add .phtml to demonstrate. AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml It's also common to setup the .phps extension to show highlighted PHP source, this can be done with: AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps 17. Use your normal procedure for starting the Apache server. (You must stop and restart the server, not just cause the server to reload by using a HUP or USR1 signal.)

Hi, PROBLEM: ./configure PHP --with-oci8
fails with unresolved references such as __rpc_thread_destroy@GLIBC_2_2_3_... ONE SOLUTOIN FOR SOLVING PHP ./configure RESULTING IN __rcp_thread_destroy@GLIBC_2_2_3_... AND UNRESOLVED REFERENCES WITH ORACLE OCI8 KEYWORDS: PHP OCI OCI8 NET8 ./configure __rpc_thred_destroy UNRESOLVED
REFERENCES For building php-4.4.1 or later with oci8, make sure your LD_LIBARRY_PATH has at a minimum the following directories in its path for Oracle8i 8.1.5 or later, Oracle9i 9.0.2 or later, and Oracle9i Release 2: 9.2.0.4 or later, do the following: Note: We are not using the Oracle Instant Client here. have an actual Oracle Installation. 1. Set ORACLE_HOME Example using Oracle 9i Relase 2 -- 9.2.0.5: ORACLE_HOME=/opt/app/oracle/product/9iR2 2. Set LD_LIBRARY_PATH with: LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib: \ $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/lib:\ $LD_LIBRARY_PATH 3. On Unix / Linux, don't forget to export these environment variables: export ORACLE_HOME LD_LIBRARY_PATH 4. Now, build PHP with the following: ./configure --with-apxs2=<path to Apache 2.0/bin/apxs> --withoci8=$ORACLE_HOME --enable-sigchild It should now build correctly. The key with Oracle is to ensure that you pick up the libclntX.so (client librariess) where X is the Oracle version associated with the version your using for instance, in the above example, libclnt9.so Also note that if your using Oracle 9iAS Release 2 v9.0.2, Oracle 10g iAS Release 1 v9.0.4.1, the above steps will work because ORACLE_HOME will containe all of the libraries necessary. Simply point ORACLE_HOME to the top level directory of these installations and set LD_LIBRARY_PATH as described above. Hope this helps.

after a long night of wrestling with mysql4.0 under linux compiled with the intel compiler, i've gotten php5.0.3 to compile with mysql libraries for this flavor of mysql: 1: download the mysql for linux/intel compiler and install 2: download the rpm for the intel compiler libraries and install 3: configure php with LDFLAGS="-lirc -lgcc_s" and EXTRA_LIBS="-lirc -lgcc_s" Example: LDFLAGS="-lirc -lgcc_s" LD_LIBRARY_PATH="-L/usr/lib64" LD_PATH="L/usr/lib64" LDPATH="-L/usr/lib64" EXTRA_LIBS="-lirc -lgcc_s" ./configure --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs --with-ssl=/usr/local/ssl --withoutsqlite --with-zlib-dir=/usr --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql of course this is on a xeon system that has half of its modules in the /usr/lib64 directory, so on a normal system, without the other kruft, it would look something more like this: LDFLAGS="-lirc -lgcc_s" EXTRA_LIBS="-lirc -lgcc_s" ./configure --withapxs2=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql Hopefully this will save someone the 6 hour headache it caused me..

In reference to van [at] webfreshener [dot] com to fix the krb5 problems. An easier fix is to do the following: ln -s /usr/kerberos/include/krb5.h /usr/include/krb5.h ln -s /usr/kerberos/include/profile.h /usr/include/profile.h ln -s /usr/kerberos/include/com_err.h /usr/include/com_err.h This will help solve some deps. in the future incase a situation with another compilation occurs.

The system at my workplace has a need for apache/php with all static compilation. In order to save time adminning our systems, I decided to make my own RPM of php/apache with mod_ssl support. I had always installed by hand with the instructions on this page, but when buiding the RPM way, came upon the following error when apache was compiling: ===> src/modules/php4 make[4]: *** No rule to make target `all'. Stop. Ordinarily this is because one did not do a 'make install' in php before the second apache configure, or somehow the make install failed. But the way rpm's work, the make install must be in the %install portion of the spec file, after all makes are completed. make install-sapi This line will copy relevant files to the directory specified in --withapache

Quick hint for people using RH8: if make gives you this error FT_ENCODING_MS_SYMBOL undeclared change on line in this file /usr/include/freetype2/freetype/freetype.h Search for ft_encoding_symbol - change it to ft_encoding_ms_symbol Now this problem is dealt with, go ahead with make. Good Luck !

If you install php 4 on SGI IRIX 6.5 (in my case it was php 4.3.6 on Silicon Graphics O2 IRIX 6.5.22 machine) and you're building it with: --with-gettext=/usr/freeware then you need to manually edit the file named "configure" (from the php source directory) and change the line# 36739 from: GETTEXT_LIBDIR=$GETTEXT_DIR/lib to: GETTEXT_LIBDIR=$GETTEXT_DIR/lib32 If you have problems in locating the line, search the text for "bindtextdomain", and look several (4) lines above.

This is regarding the post down below about the problem with openssl on RH9. Openssl on RH9 is built with kerberos. To get PHP to build correctly you need the output of these commands when you make.
[root@graf-spee local]# pkg-config --cflags openssl -I/usr/kerberos/include [root@graf-spee local]# pkg-config --libs openssl -L/usr/kerberos/lib -lssl -lcrypto -lresolv -lgssapi_krb5 -lkrb5 -lk5crypto -lcom_err -ldl -lz These could be added to your make command thus. I have not tested it out, but should work with some tweaking make EXTRA_LDFLAGS=`pkg-config --libs openssl` EXTRA_CFLAGS=`pkg-config --cflags openssl`

The configure directives --with-apxs2 and --with-apxs2filter are not compatible one with other, even though the configure script will not complain about that. Each one affect the way Apache will call the php parser: If you choose the first one, you must use the traditional include: AddType application/x-httpd-php php at httpd.conf, to call the parser. If you use the --with-apxs2filter, the include will be: <Files *.php> SetOutputFilter PHP SetInputFilter PHP </Files> , and php will be called as a filter to .php files. If you use both together, you will get compilation errors (duplicate symbols while linking libphp4).

If you have the libphp4.a instead of libphp4.so on AIX, you can extract the .so file from the .a file by running "ar -x libphp4.a".

when installing with mysql support (--with-mysql=<path/to/your/mysql>) via Apache APXS you'll probably get something like 'can't load
libmysqlclient.so' when you try to start up apache. There are 2 solutions to this problem. First, (as documented in INSTALL file of the php4 distribution) you can modify /etc/ld.so.conf to contain the directory name where libmysqlclient.so is (so if your mysql is installed in /usr/local, you want to add something like /usr/local/lib/mysql into /etc/ld.so.conf), else (and particularly if you haven't got the super-user on the system) you can modify (or create if it isn't defined already) LD_LIBRARY_PATH shell variable to reflect the changes you would have otherwise made to /etc/ld.so.conf (again if mysql is /usr/local LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib/mysql). Either one of these methods will get the problem sorted. Just remember to run ldconfig (so that /etc/ld.so.cache is updated) if you chose to modify /etc/ld.so.conf

I've (painfully) discovered that installing PHP5 with "make install" under SuSe 9.2 is NOT a good idea. http://www.aditus.nu/jpgraph/apache2suse.php This page explains how to install it without breaking everything that's phprelated in the Apache2 configuration.

When compiling php 5.1.2 on Debian 3.1 (Sarge) with Apache 2.2.0, I ran into problems with libxml2 and libxml2-config not found errors. After checking the base install, Debian leaves out the libxml2 headers, they can be downloaded using apt-get: apt-get install libxml2 libxml2-dev PHP should then compile fine.

Using Apache2 & PHP5 work perfectly fine & safe together. - all core modules are safe in Zend Engine 2 - third-party-libraries should be avoided - semaphores and shared memory enables you to ensure yourself that your application/website is thread-safe also with non-thread-safe PHP modules!

FILE TRUNCATED!! during the make process should u receive an error declaring ext/ctype/ctype.lo (or another file) is truncated then you need to 'make clean' prior to a healthy 'make' and 'make install.' looking into your ext/ directory you may find the offensive file to be 1 byte long.

I think that it's important says that the option --withapxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs in the configure script it's necesary to build the libphp5.so (in PHP5). Then in the make install command, this .so module will be installed in the modules directory of Apache home I see on the Web a lot of persons with the trouble of missing the libphp5.so and this is the solution. Regards, Frank.

For the SuSE9.2 install of PHP5. First: If building on a x64 platform, please set LDFLAGS="-L/usr/lib64" before configure. As for install, it suffices to go to /etc/apache2 and: ln -s sysconfig.d/loadmodule.conf httpd2-prefork.conf and then make install

To install mysql and mysqli with PHP5 do the following: after doing: ./configure --with-mysql=/path/to/mysql_config --withmysqli=/path/to/mysql_config do this: " if you want to use both the old mysql and the new mysqli interface, load the Makefile into your editor and search for the line beginning with EXTRA_LIBS; it includes -lmysqlclient twice; remove the second instance " then you can: make make install ..... Pleasse note: you must have mysql-dev installed (RPM or source) or you will not have the mysql_config file at all. The standard, server, and client installations of MySQL do not include it. I read somewhere that the mysql and mysqli paths must be identical. Quoted from Michael Kofler at the following link: http://www.kofler.cc/forum/forumthread.php?rootID=3571

Well I was getting the following error when trying to run make (shared module for Apache 2.0.52) *** Warning: inter-library dependencies are not known to be supported. *** All declared inter-library dependencies are being dropped. (Then of course 'make install' would puke on itself not having what it needs.)
Soo, after some time looking I found that using: libtoolize --force and following the instructions to add the contents of 1 file to the local file cat /some/dir/file1 >> localfile Would produce the desired results when you run: make clean make

Building PHP 5.x with Apache2 on SuSE Professional 9.1/9.2 SuSE uses a rather fragmented set of Apache configuration files stored in /etc/apache2/. When you configure PHP 5.x with: $ ./configure --with-apxs2=/usr/sbin/apxs2 $ make everything builds just fine; but when you issue: $ su -c "make install" the unconventional Apache conf file layout confuses the install-sapi section of the Makefile and the process halts with the following error: apxs:Error: Config file /etc/apache2/httpd2-prefork.conf not found. make: *** [install-sapi] Error 1 At this point only the PHP SAPI library has been copied into place; the rest of the files (like PEAR scripts, PHP-CLI, etc) have not been installed. But never fear! You can overcome this problem with the following steps: 1. Edit Makefile and change the following line to remove "install-sapi": install_targets = install-sapi install-cli install-pear install-build install-headers install-programs 2. Issue the make install command again: $ su -c "make install" 3. Add the PHP module & type instructions to the Apache configuration. As root, create a new file, /etc/apache2/conf.d/php5.conf that contains the following lines: LoadModule php5_module /usr/lib/apache2/libphp5.so AddType application/x-httpd-php php --- And that's it. Everything else is just as the documentation suggests it should be.

Hi too had same problem with multiview like when i execute http://huey/admin/test.php it used to compile but when i use http://huey/admin/test it wouldnt recognise it as php file... i worked it out with the addhandler method and AddType in different line and setting multiview for directive "multiviews Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews"
the directives u can set it to root directory so now when u type pn test it will search in precendence for test.php, test.html if any ..... its working for me with apache2.0.47 and php 4.3.9 on solaris praveen

If you're trying to get PHP and Multiviews to work properly, try this page: http://tranchant.plus.com/notes/multiviews (In brief, a request for the URL http://example.net/thing, where there are possible matches thing.php and thing.pdf, returns a 406 with many browsers because of the application/x-httpd-php MIME type set above. The link above gives a better method for using php, instead using these directives: AddHandler php5-script php [or php-script for php4] AddType text/html php For more info see the link.)
Caudium
PHP : can "e "uilt as a Pi*e module for the +audium we"server& )ote that this is not supported with PHP B& 9ollow the simple instructions "elow to install PHP : for +audium& E ample 2!3. Caudium Installation Instructions
1.
Make sure you have Caudium installed prior to attempting to install PHP 4. For PHP 4 to work correctly, you will need Pike 7.0.268 or newer. For the sake of this example we assume that Caudium is installed in /opt/caudium/server/. 2. Change directory to php-x.y.z (where x.y.z is the version number). 3. ./configure --with-caudium=/opt/caudium/server 4. make 5. make install 6. Restart Caudium if it's currently running. 7. Log into the graphical configuration interface and go to the virtual server where you want to add PHP 4 support. 8. Click Add Module and locate and then add the PHP 4 Script Support module. 9. If the documentation says that the 'PHP 4 interpreter isn't available', make sure that you restarted the server. If you did check /opt/caudium/logs/debug/default.1 for any errors related to <filename>PHP4.so</filename>. Also make sure that <filename>caudium/server/lib/[pike-version]/PHP4.so</filename> is present. 10. Configure the PHP Script Support module if needed.
/ou can of course compile your +audium module with support for the various extensions availa"le in PHP :& ee the reference pa!es for extension specific confi!ure options& *ote: When compilin!

Using gcc 3.3 I had problems compiling PHP for 64 bits, I had to replace mysql/64 bits with mysql/32 bits (Solaris cannot mix 32 bits and 64 bits libraries), so I specified the following compiler flag: CFLAGS="-m32";export CFLAGS; I also had problems with PHP 5.1.2 in sapi/nsapi/nsapi.c source code, It had incorrect comments and file paths :S When trying to install PHP with mysql support I found I had these problems too: http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=34516... So don't mix sun ld and gcc ld because you will get into troubles. I built mysql libraries myself in a separated directory.

I noted and installed *all* pkgs required to compile PHP5 but kept getting an error on compile when it attempted to test the gcc compiler. The /usr/ccs/bin and all the $PATH requirements were ALL there....why the error? I tried running gcc from the command prompt and got a "gcc: fatal: libiconv.so.2: open failed: "....DUH I needed to install the libiconv pkg from sunfreeware.com for gcc compiler to work. Just a small bonehead maneuver, but I thought I would add it just in case someone else ran into the particular problem.

Title: Barebones PHP Installation on Sun One Web Server 6.1 for JDS2 Author: Hijinio Reynoso Jr. Last Updated: August 23, 2004 Summary: If you have installed Sun One Web Server 6.1 on the JDS (aka Java
Desktop System from Sun), this will help you get PHP installed on it (without XML and MySQL support.) In any case, this should get you started which is better than not having it installed at all. These directions were based mainly on those available from PHP.net, but updated to meet the needs of this specific configuration. Instructions ---------------------------0. Make sure your web server isn't running and ensure that all JDS developer packages are installed; to be safe, I always ensure that all developer packages are available via Applications > System Tools > Administration > Software Installer 1. Download http://us3.php.net/get/php-5.0.1.tar.bz2/from/a/mirror and extract into the directory of your choice. (5.0.1 was the only version I could get to make install correctly) 2. CD into the extracted PHP directory and type: > ./configure --with-nsapi=/opt/SUNWwbsvr --enable-libgcc --disable-libxml (Your web server directory may vary from the above's default.) 3. Once it's done configuring (and it should be successful should you have all the proper packages), type: > make 4. When its done compiling, it's time to install as root: # make install 5. Now, configuration of your web server begins: # cd /opt/SUNWwbsvr/https-[yourWebServer]/config 6. vi mime.types (or other editor) to add this line into it: type=magnus-internal/x-httpd-php exts=php 7. vi magnus.conf to add the following 2 lines to end of it: (NOTE: the 2nd line could be optional) Init fn="load-modules" funcs="php5_init,php5_execute,php5_auth_trans" shlib="/opt/SUNWwbsvr/bin/libphp5.so" Init fn="php5_init" LateInit="yes" errorString="Failed to initialize PHP!" [php_ini="/path/to/php.ini"] 8. vi obj.conf to add the following line to <Object name="default">. Make sure this happens after all "ObjectType" entries and before any "AddLog" entries: (NOTE: for virtual servers, edit vserver.obj.conf) Service fn="php5_execute" type="magnus-internal/x-httpd-php" [inikey=value inikey=value ...] 9. Now, start up your web server. Also, make sure to log into the admin server and click the "Apply" button in there. You will also have set "index.php" as an index filename in your virtual server's Document Preferences. 10. Congrats! Now, you have PHP installed! Of course, there are other features you could enable (MySQL, XML, etc.), but I haven't tested against those. Just consult the following page for hints: http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.unix.sun.php

start on target machine php with "php -b ip:port" for ear request from mod_fastcgi. some aditional thing are in sapi/cgi/README.FastCGI of php src tree. the document root of the apache machine must be synchronous with the php target machine... with the same tree... and with that solution you can mixe php5 and php4 with different extention of apache directory limitation to one or another version... with performance like mod_php!

Thanks nordkyn, this one was very helpful. Please note that the kernel has to be compiled with misc binary support, which is activated on most distributions like Debian. You would have to please these two lines in a script to run it after every reboot, on debian I propose /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh You could place this lines at the end but before : exit 0 --# Install PHP as binary handler mount -t binfmt_misc none /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc echo ":PHP:E::php::/usr/bin/php4:" > /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/register --And please remember that the package management would override the file on the next distribution upgrade :)

Up to and including 4.1.1 you have to set doc_root to an non empty value if you configure PHP for CGI usage with --enable-discard-path.

Installing PHP 5.x with Apache 2.x on HP UX 11i and configuring PHP 5.x with Oracle 9i
I am very glad to share this information to configure PHP 5.x work with Apache 2.x and Oracle 9i on HP UX 11i. Step 1: Install Apache 2.x with DSO support: -------------------------------------------This is a stratight forward Apache installation with --enable-so option gzip -d httpd-2_0_NN.tar.gz tar xvf httpd-2_0_NN.tar cd httpd-2_0_NN ./configure \ --prefix=/var/apps/apache2 \ --enable-so \ --enable-mods-shared=most \ --libexecdir=/var/apps/apache2/libexec You can add other options as required. make make install Step 2: Install and configure PHP 5.x with Oracle 9i ---------------------------------------------------Edit the ./configure file to change "$OCI8_DIR/lib" as "$OCI8_DIR/lib32" By default, with Oracle 9i, "$OCI8_DIR/lib" will be poiting to Oracle 64 bit libraries in "$OCI8_DIR/lib64" directory. Unfortunately, PHP 5.x does not work with 64 bit oracle shared libraries. Run configure.. $ ./configure \ --prefix=/var/apps/php \ --with-apxs2=/var/apps/apache2/bin/apxs \ --with-oci8=/oracle/app/product/9.0.2 \ --disable-libxml \ --enable-libgcc \ --enable-ftp \ --enable-calendar \ --enable-track-vars \ --enable-trans-sid \ --enable-sigchild \ --libexecdir=/var/apps/apache2/libexec \ --with-config-file-path=/var/apps/apache2/conf --enable-libgcc \ --enable-sigchild \ You can add other options as required. You can use the --help option to configure to get a complete list. After configure runs, you must edit the file libtool. $ vi ./libtool At line 184, you should change the line from: deplibs_check_method="unknown" to deplibs_check_method="pass_all" so that PHP and mod_php are properly compiled. 3. Compile and install the files.
Run make. This should complete normally. $ make Run make install. This will fail when it attempts to call apxs. $ make install Step 3: Configure Apache 2.x ---------------------------Edit httpd.conf file to include For PHP 5: LoadModule php5_module modules/libphp5.so AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml
Set environment variables in $APACHE_ROOT/bin/envvars file SHLIB_PATH="/var/apps/apache2/lib:$SHLIB_PATH" export SHLIB_PATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/app/product/9.0.2 /lib32 export LD_LIBRARY_PATH LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libpthread.sl:$ORACLE_HOME/app/ product/9.0.2/JRE/lib/PA_RISC/native_threads/libjava.sl export LD_PRELOAD After lot of hard work, by following the above procedure, we were able to make PHP 5.x is work with Apache 2.x and Oracle 9i on HP UX 11i OS. Hope this will save your time!!

If hpws is not an option for you, or if you want to build Apache and PHP with your own options and extensions, I have written a step by step tutorial. It explains how to build Apache 2.0 and PHP 5 from scratch on HP-UX 11i (11.11), including most modules and extensions (zlib, SSL, LDAP, iconv, expat, xml, xslt, gd, png, Xpm, jpeg, freetype, bzip2, curl, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, AdoDB) : http://flaupretre.free.fr/redir.php?key=build_apa_php

If you need an Apache2-Server with PHP4 under HP-UX 11.x, it's a good way to download the HP-WebServer from the HP-Website (http://software.hp.com). The HP-Webserver comes with numerous moduls. First install the HP-Webserver (swinstall -s /absolute_path_to_depot_file/name_of_depot_file). After that, download the newest PHP-Version from http://www.php.net (HP ships the HPWebserver with an old PHP-Version) and unpack the tar-file in a workingdirectory. Use the following parameters for configure PHP: ./configure --with-apxs2=/opt/hpws/apache/bin/apxs --prefix=/opt/hpws/apache/php [and so on...] If configure prints the error "expr: An integer value was expected.", than you have to edit the Script "configure". Replace the line: APACHE_VERSION=`expr $4 \* 1000000 + $5 \* 1000 + $6`
with the following (correct and very long) line: APACHE_VERSION=`$APXS_HTTPD -v | head -1 | cut -f3 -d' ' | cut -f2 -d'/' | awk 'BEGIN { FS = "."; } { printf "%d", ($1 * 1000 + $2) * 1000 + $3;}'` Why? The output of "httpd -v" prints the following string: Server version: HP-UX_Apache-based_Web_Server/2.0.46 Server built: Jun 26 2003 04:41:28 But the configure-Script can't deal with this string.

To build for HP-UX 10.X/11.X (and some other UNIX variants) with '--enablesockets', you'll get an error about 'u_int' being redefined in /usr/include/netinet/in.h and ext/sockets/sockets.c will fail to compile. The problem is this line from main/php_config.h: #define in_addr_t u_int The above define is a problem because HP-UX (and some other UNIXs) typedef in_addr_t. A good workaround is to replace this define in main/php_config.h with the lines from the HP-UX 11.X netinet/in.h header file (which will work for 10.X as well): #ifndef _IN_ADDR_T #define _IN_ADDR_T #ifdef __LP64__ typedef unsigned int in_addr_t; #else typedef unsigned long in_addr_t; #endif #endif

For PHP 4.0.6 under HP-UX 11.00, I ran into errors during the compilation related to "LC_CTYPE" and other "LC_" vars. The compilation complained that "LC_" such and such first used in such and such function. (I think the error first came up in php_pcre.c, then in basic_functions.c). The solution was to add "#include <locale.h>" to the php.h file. Compilation was
successful after that was added, with no other issues. apache 1.3.20, bison 1.28, flex 2.5.4.a.

Used gcc 2.95.3,
Just a quick point to those of you (like me!) who might not be sharp enough to notice this: If you want to install PHP on an HP-UX 11.x box then you'll need to download and install the 11.x (not 10.20) versions of the software (like gcc and bison). I didn't notice this and spent a large proportion of a day trying to figure out why the software wouldn't install! Steve

I just finished spinning my wheels with PHP/Apache on OpenBSD 3.3, and it took a Google to fix my problem. I followed the instructions by (0429196301 at netcabo dot pt) written on Sep 19, 2003 and kept being fed a segmentation fault when I tried to start httpd. Then I read the page cited below that suggested playing with the order of the LoadModules, and put the PHP first. I followed that recommendation and httpd started without problems! Page that saved me: http://archives.neohapsis.com/archives/openbsd/2002-04/3074.html "Change around the order of the Apache modules, this is one of the drawbacks to the module API for Apache 1.3 is that the order is very important. I would try making the PHP 4 module first, Perl module second and FP module last. "

On OpenBSD 3.2, given the steps outlined above using pre-built packages you will get a new "/var/www/conf/httpd.conf" that contains a section like this: <IfDefine SSL> AddModule mod_ssl.c AddModule mod_php4.c </IfDefine> This causes mod_php4 to load only when starting Apache w/SSL, so if this isn't what you want add the mod_php4 line again above (or below) this section, like so: AddModule mod_php4.c <IfDefine SSL> AddModule mod_ssl.c AddModule mod_php4.c </IfDefine> <<------ SEE? - now should load normally.
I also added this for good measure: <IfModule mod_php4.c> AddType application/x-httpd-php .php [blah blah] </IfModule> Seems to work.

Howard Glynn's post from May 22 is right on - if you're running Solaris 8, make sure you get the latest Recommended patch cluster. I've been struggling with that library problem that happens when you start Apache for several weeks, tweaking the config, setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH, etc. I couldn't believe that the PHP developers wouldn't have the Solaris build right - seems like a fairly important OS. But the latest Solaris patch cluster fixed the problem, so I guess it was my fault for not being up to date. I'm running PHP 4.2.1 now with Apache 2.0.36, works great.

I've had a lot of problems with "dn_skipname" reference errors when trying to do a php / apache shared-library install on solaris 8. All compiling was clean, but could not restart apache with mod_php. After much trial and error, I found a solution by installing patch 109326-07 which has some fixes for resolver (I think). I had one web server without the patch, and one with it, and was able to show the same commands compiling, working and restarting on one, but not the other. Installed patch on machine, compiled clean and was up and running after doing this. Works great. Get the patch from sun.com

When compiling and installing on Solaris, you might encounter a but that occurs only when you try and start apache - in otherwords, the module compiles fine but it won't run! The specific error is that it can't find a symbol called "__muldi3". From what I can tell, this is an internal symbol created by gcc and the problem happens when you compile the code with gcc and then use a different linker. To fix the problem, make sure that there is only one 'ld' program in your $PATH and that you also specify '--with-gnu-ld' in your configuration.

Although there are no PHP 5 packages for Debian 3.1 (aka "stable" or "sarge"), there are currently PHP 5 packages for "testing"/"etch" and "unstable"/"sid". Installation works the same way. Also, the same process can be used for Ubuntu, but note that some of the packages may be in the "universe" section instead of "main".

READ HERE If installing PHP 5.x on Windows Server 2003 / IIS 6.x ... It was extremely frustrating getting this to work, so hopefully my struggle will allow others to do this the *easy* way. BEFORE installing PHP 5 from a web tutorial (a good one found here: http://www.peterguy.com/php/install_IIS6.html) You need to READ THESE TIPS: #Necessary Permissions For WinServer 2003 / IIS6.0# These are the permission settings I found to work well with good security: NTFS permissions (right-click file or folder, select preferences, go to security tab) 1) PHP Install folder -> You need to give NT account: 'Network Service' read/execute permissions on the 'php' install folder (e.g., C:\\PHP). If you have a TMP or SESSION folder within the main PHP folder, you need to give account 'Network Service' read/execute AND write access on those folders. *(You DO NOT need to give the anonymous internet user account: 'IUSR_[name]' ANY permissions on the PHP INSTALL files themselves. )* 2) You DO need to give account: 'IUSR_name' Read/execute permissions on the actual WWW root folder and web .php files (if you want to apply to all sites) or each websites WWW root and .php files if running multiple sites. 3) Within the IIS 6.0 console itself, in the website's preferences (right click on ind. site or 'websites' node to apply to all sites -> select preferences) on the 'Directory Security' tab -> click edit, and if you wish to allow anonymous access to your site, check the anonymous access box and be sure to enter account: 'IUSR_name'. 4) *MOST IMPORTANT* As mentioned by a few others, install php and configure the php.ini WITH NO EXTENSIONS AT FIRST. The reason being if one of the extensions fail, the error dialog will pop up OUTSIDE of a terminal services window (remote desktop). So you will NOT BE ABLE to click on the error, and the websites php file you are trying to load in your browser will hang indefinately (after having this happen for 12 hours I almost went insane trying to figure out the problem) LOL. Then when you have successfully loaded a test php page in the browser, go back to the php.ini file and add extensions in one at a time. If YOU have any tips I haven't included, email me. Again, I am not a professional, still a student in learning. :) Now that you have read that, go back to the link I placed near the top, and follow his tutorial for general installation/setup.

If the path to your PHP directory has spaces (e.g. "C:\\Program Files\\PHP") and IIS gives a 500+ error or responds with "The specified module could not be found." when you try to run a PHP script, try changing the ISAPI DLL's path in IIS (in the "Home Directory" tab, under "Configuration...") to the 8.3-equivalent path. That is, use C:\\PROGRA~1\\PHP\\php5isapi.dll instead of "C:\\Program Files\\PHP\\php5isapi.dll".

If you make changes to your PHP.ini file, consider the following. (I'm running IIS5 on W2K server. I don't know about 2K3) PHP will not "take" the changes until the webserver is restarted, and that doesn't mean through the MMC. Usually folks just reboot. But you can also use the following commands, for a much faster "turnaround". At a command line prompt, type: iisreset /stop and that will stop the webserver service. net start w3svc and that will start the webserver service again. MUCH faster than a reboot, and you can check your changes faster as a result with the old: <?php> phpinfo(); ?> in your page somewhere. I wish I could remember where I read this tip; it isn't anything I came up with...

Then type:
When installing onto the Windows IIS platform, ensure you add the PHPRC Server Variable to point to your PHP.INI file. Also, add '.INI' to the FILEEXT Server Variable. Failure to add these could stop the PHP engine being able to find your PHP.INI file, and none of your modifications will be read. Rob.

If you get problems with ISS 6 and PHP try this: http://www.visualwin.com/PHP-ISAPI/ I've tried to install in a different folder than c:\php but when you add the application extension mapping the ISS does not accept a path with spaces (like c:\program files\php).

Thought someone would save some time and headaches by using this post. Our tech department is migrating to Windows 2003 Server and they have some complex security implementations between our Web Servers and our Application (COM) servers. If you have this type of scenario and are receiving the "Warning (null)(): Unable to lookup.... Access is denied." error, it is because the "Identity" in the Web Server's application pool does not have sufficient permissions to connect to the Application (COM) Server. To fix this: - create a new Application Pool - right click the new pool and select "properties" - click on the "Identity" tab - change the permissions from "Network Service" to a user on the Web Server who has access to call the Application (COM) server. - right click the application pool - click "start" - right click your web site - click on the "Home Directory" tab - change the application pool to the new application pool you've just created. - restart IIS Hopefully this will save someone some time and headaches.

I've installed Apache + PHP on a Windows machine of which I'm not an administrator. I found out it was necessary to change the permissions of the httpd.conf file on C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache\conf in order to have everything working. Since I'm also using cygwin this was simply done with: >chmod 755 httpd.conf.

You can have multiple versions of PHP running on the same Apache server. I have seen many different solutions pointing at achieving this, but most of them required installing additional instances of Apache, redirecting ports/hosts, etc., which was not satisfying for me. Finally, I have come up with the simplest solution I've seen so far, limited to reconfiguring Apache's httpd.conf. My goal is to have PHP5 as the default scripting language for .php files in my DocumentRoot (which is in my case d:/htdocs), and PHP4 for specified DocumentRoot subdirectories. Here it is (Apache's httpd.conf contents): --------------------------# replace with your PHP4 directory ScriptAlias /php4/ "c:/usr/php4/" # replace with your PHP5 directory ScriptAlias /php5/ "c:/usr/php5/" AddType application/x-httpd-php .php Action application/x-httpd-php "/php5/php-cgi.exe" # populate this for every directory with PHP4 code <Directory "d:/htdocs/some_subdir"> Action application/x-httpd-php "/php4/php.exe" # directory where your PHP4 php.ini file is located at SetEnv PHPRC "c:/usr/php4" </Directory> # remember to put this section below the above
<Directory "d:/htdocs"> # directory where your PHP5 php.ini file is located at SetEnv PHPRC "c:/usr/php5" </Directory> --------------------------This solution is not limited to having only two parallel versions of PHP. You can play with httpd.conf contents to have as many PHP versions configured as you want. You can also use multiple php.ini configuration files for the same PHP version (but for different DocumentRoot subfolders), which might be useful in some cases. Remember to put your php.ini files in directories specified in lines "SetEnv PHPRC...", and make sure that there's no php.ini files in other directories (such as c:\windows in Windows). And finally, as you can see, I run PHP in CGI mode. This has its advantages and limitations. If you have to run PHP as Apache module, then... sorry you have to use other solution (the best advice as always is: Google it!). Hope this helps someone.

For those of you trying to install PHP 4 and PHP 5 concurrently on a windows 2003 box, there is just one rule you need to adhere to in order to make it work: - Don't have either of them in c:\php\. - Don't have a php.ini in your system32 directory. Put PHP 4 into a directory called c:\php4\. Put its php.ini in there, and make sure all the paths reflect the c:\php4 directory. Likewise, put PHP 5 into a directory called c:\php5\. Put its php.ini in there, and make sure all the paths reflect the c:\php5 directory. Add them as allowed script mappings in your iis extensions area, and have fun!

Note to windows server 2003 users If you install php5 ISAPI on windows server 2003 / IIS and keep getting a 404 when you try to view a php script don`t just activate "all unknown ISAPI extensions" but also activate "All Unknown CGI Extensions".

I've installed php 5.0.5 with the ISAPI module, as the isapi dll file (php5isapi.dll) resides in the php root directory, I didn't have trouble in my installation (In php4 this dll file is in sapi directory and it should be moved to php root directory). I changed some of my settings in php.ini file and restart IIS Web site,but my changes weren't applied. Then I go to Control Panel>Administrative Tools>Services and restart the IIS Admin Service. Everything worked like a charm...

Note regarding PHP4 Installation on IIS5 + Win2K Tip: Don't install PHP4 on Directories with spaces in between. I've had problems Installing PHP 4.0.0 on IIS5, Win2k's default web server, spanish version (I live in Colombia). I've had HTTP 500 Errors and I followed all instructions step by step, but nothing seemed to work. I solved the problem eventually, and I think it had something to do with the fact that I have installed PHP4 manually and placed it in the directory "C:\Archivos de programa\php-4.4.0-Win32" ('Archivos de programa' stands for 'Program Files'), a directory with spaces in between. When I added the application mappings for "C:\Archivos de programa\php4.4.0-Win32/sapi/php4isapi.php", An error would ocurr and a message along with it: "Escriba una ruta de acceso valida", as in "Write a valid access rute", as in "I can't find the file". I thought i had it when I encapsulated it with Doublequotes ("), but that didn't work either. As a final long shot, I copied the php4isapi.dll to the windows/system32 directory and 'WALA!' It worked. I'm not sure, but i suspect that it had to do with spaces in between directory names, so avoid those, or copy the isapi module to another directory. Hope this helps someone!

Don't forget if you are getting ACL exceptions to reading the test php page you have created you MUST share the PHP directory or the resources PHP uses to "everyone" but remember use restricted access for security.

If you get 404 page not found on Windows/IIS5, have a look at C:\SYSTEM32\INETSRV\URLSCAN There is a .ini file there that prevents some files from being served by IIS, even if they exist, instead IIS will give a 404. The urlscan logfile (same place) should give you some insight into what parameter is preventing a page from loading, if any.

In order to run php scripts with php.exe CGI instead of php4isapi.dll under IIS, following steps can be followed. i) Add a web service extension for PHP using IIS manager. Choose a web service extension name like 'PHP' and add your php.exe path in the 'file location' while adding the required file e.g. 'C:\php\php.exe' in the Add extension dialog box. Don't forget to 'Allow' the extension file.
ii) Open php.ini file located at %systemroot%. Set the following variables to the shown values. cgi.force_redirect = 0 cgi.redirect_status_env = ENV_VAR_NAME iii) In your websites, add Application Mapping for '.php' and set the executable path to your php.exe file path. You can test whether PHP is running or not and other PHP settings using the following simple PHP script. <?php> phpinfo(); ?> Feroz Zahid ferozzahid [_at_] usa [_dot_] [_com_]

On the Windows 2003 & IIS6 platform, you can run different websites on different versions & copies of PHP. This is useful in at least two cases: 1. You want one website on your box to have register_globals on, but since you're running IIS, you cannot specify that in an .htaccess file. And you definately don't want register_globals on for the rest of the websites. 2. You want to run different versions of PHP for different websites, or even just different extensions. Say you wanted one site to use 4.0.5 and a different site to use 4.1.11. Its simple, just: 1. Move your php.ini file from your c:\windows\ directory directly to your php directory (by default that would be c:\php\) 2. Make sure you don't have a php.ini file in any other location that would supercede the c:\php\php.ini file. Using phpinfo(); is useful here. 3. Have your alternate version of php (either a different version or a different php.ini) have its own install directory, like c:\php4RG\ or c:\php405\. 4. In the Home Directory Configuration for your website, specify the .php extension to use a different script, pointing it at the alternate directory.

For those having trouble installing PHP 5+ ISAPI for IIS 6 (on Windows 2003 server), who have tried everything on this site and all over the net, with no success (like I did) - try the following before throwing your server out of a 3rd story window. http://www.benmardesign.com/IIS_PHP_MYSQL_setup/php_setup.html It was the only thing that worked out of all the many solutions I tried. Probably some other solutions would've worked as well, but in my frusterated state of mind, this explanation was the clearest. My problem was that in addition to adding the the Web service extension, I was not adding the ISAPI extensions for the websites in IIS Manager manaully. ALSO, remember to reboot after the changes on the site listed above. It's the only thing he forgot to mention, and depending on your setup, you may need to reboot to register the dll moves and changes made. (IIS restart will not re-register dlls).

Just a note following on from Luis D regarding adding the pgp4ts.dll as a Web Server Extension. I just used the latest php-4.3.10-installer.exe from php.net and had the problems where .php files could not be found.

One very helpfull note to Win2003 iis6 users: If you'd like to use isapi in the web service extensions and you're in a development server (or even if your php.ini config file changes frequently), here's what you can do: Php.ini runtime changes: Create a new application pool in iis: iis->select server->application pools->new application pool Use default settings; go to the application pool you've created, properties-> check the "Recycle worker process" option, and give it a small value (10 is nice :) ). Now go to your site (or virtual directory site)-> properties-> change the application pool to the newly configured appPool. At this moment, is good to make a iss restart (note this is the only resart needed). Your site is now semi-runtime changed :) You can try it with the usal php info() test. Change something in the
php.ini and check the number of requests it takes to use the new configuration. The downside of this approach (wich is still better than to use phpcgi.exe): the process is recycled, so all the configuration in php.ini is read every N requests - with php-cgi.exe, this would happen for every request, so.. is a good solution. Again, be carefull when using this in a production environment, since the load can increase (not sure how much, but it will certainly increase). And keep in the new appPool JUST the php sites that require runtime changes in php.ini ! -----You've helped me, so I help you ;) Tks

Note to windows users, if you are trying to install php5 ISAPI on windows server 2003 / IIS and getting a 404 when you try to view a simple php script, even though everything else seems to be right... click into "web service extensions" from IIS and either add a new web service extension, or click onto "all unknown ISAPI extensions" and click allow.

When configuring application pools with configurable accounts instead of NETWORK SERVICE or LOCAL SYSTEM remember to add the user to the correct security contexts found here: Note: Watch for wordwrap http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/ WindowsServ/2003/standard/proddocs/en-us/Default.asp? url=/resources/documentation/WindowsServ/2003/standard/ proddocs/en-us/sec_acc_wpenable.asp Otherwise you will recieve 403 errors.

This fixes the "The directory name is invalid" error. In IIS 5.1 on Windows XP Pro, Go into the Internet Information Services, and into the properties of the virtual directory where the problem occurs. On The 'Virtual Directory' tab, click on the 'Configuration...' button. Select the '.php' extension, and press 'Edit'. On the bottom, Check the 'Check that file exists' checkbox.

This is just to clarify on a posting on this page that states the nescesity of allowing all unknown cgi Extensions in Windows 2003 IIS 6. Although this will work and it should be consider as a quick option for an itranet solution with no web access at all. This poses a very serious security problem and its not the best course of action, in my opinion. The proper way of making this work will be to actually enable the extension that you want to execute. After verifying that the .php extension is present, simply go to "Web Service extensions" in the IIS Manager and click on "Add a new web service extension"; Once the "new web service extension" opens: 1- Add the wanna call and always 2-Click on (default) "extension name" field, please enter "PHP" (or what ever you it) Other more conservative admins will say call it what it is input ".php". Its up to you! the "add" button and browse to the php4ts.dll file on your c:\PHP and then click open --> OK and set the checkmark under "set
extension status to allowed" click OK and thats it!!! If you missed the checkmark moment cause you are just so impatient, like me, then simply select the extension on the web service extensions windows and click ALLOW. This is a very simple process and it will work everytime. I hope this helps, as I have found several things in this forums that are incredibly helpfull!! PS: For the non programmer, it is a good practice to install mysql and a free php forum like bb2 to test how well your php IIS and mysql is working.

If need a php4apache.dll compiled with EAPI _and_ you run Apache with mod_ssl, use the Apache from http://hunter.campbus.com/ This is already a binary for win32, but the *.lib and headers are included.

Under a Windows 2003 and IIS 6.x installation of PHP, it is interesting to note that by default in most cases, the "DefaultAppPool" for the "Default Web Site" is running under the security context of "Network Service" which maybe too restrictive. This results in a 403: Forbidden error every time you try to access a PHP page. You have several options to remedy the problem: an obvious one is to make it run as the "Local System", but that may be too much power for some administrators' tastes. The other option is at the IIS Manager, go to the computer's "Application Pools" folder, and go to the properties dialog box of the "DefaultAppPool", and then to the "Identity" tab, and select the "Configurable" identity of "IWAM_[COMPUTER_NAME]" as the security context. This will make the application pool run the way it did in the previous versions. This solved the repeated problems of the 403 errors. However, do not forget to give permission to "IUSR_[COMPUTER_NAME]" and "IWAM_[COMPUTER_NAME]" appropriate directory permissions for your web directories as stated above.

If you are running websites within an Application Pool (which is now the default for IIS6 under 2K3) you need to make sure that your PHP directory (e.g. C:\PHP) has read permissions for the user assigned to the Application Pool. 1. In the IIS snap-in, choose Application Pools 2. Right-click on DefaultAppPool (or other, if you have one defined) and choose Properties 3. Click the Identity tab 4. Make a note of the user name set as the security account for this application pool (e.g. "Network Service") 5. Browse to your PHP directory and grant that user read permissions for the entire directory. In my case, I had to add permissions for the user "NETWORK SERVICE" to get PHP scripts to work. Otherwise I received 401/403 authorization errors when trying to load them in a remote browser. Note also that first tried adding IUSR permissions to the PHP directory, but that had no effect.

In the Note Titled "Windows Server 2003 (x64 bits) + IIS 6.0" in step 1 when adding your new .php extension, it will not work unless after you click on the "Home Directory" you make sure that your "Execute permissions:" are set to "Scripts Only". By default, on my machine, the permissions were set to "None" not allowing php to run. Also, for more security it might be wise to Add the new extension just to your default site instead of the whole Web Sites folder in IIS. This would only apply if you were hosting multiple sites and had a site you didn't want scripts to run on.

On this page and the FAQ they point out that to reset the Windows PATH variable to include your php dir, you need to completely restart the machine. If you can't afford to do that (installing on a live server for example), you can use the setx.exe tool from the Windows Resource Kit (google it). Like so:
c:\pathtoresourcekit> setx.exe PATH "%PATH%;c:\php" \m

1. Add new extension (.php) * Expand the local computer in the left pane * Right-click on "Web Sites" in the left pane, then click "Properties" in the menu that pops up * Flip top the "Home Directory" tab * Click "Configuration" * Flip to the "Mappings" tab * Click "Add..." * Enter the full path to php5isapi.dll in the "Executable" textbox (Browse... to find it more easily if you need to) * Enter ".php" in the "Extension" textbox * Select radial button "Limit to", enter "GET,POST,HEAD" * Click "OK" all the way out 2. Verify php5isapi.dll is allowed You must verify that the versions of php5isapi.dll that you want to use are allowed. 2.1. In Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager, in the left-hand column, click the Web Services Extensions node and verify php5isapi.dll is allowed and all other Web Service Extensions are prohibited. 2.2. If the version of php5isapi.dll that you want to use does not appear in the list, follow the instructions to enable it and then repeat this procedure: Go into IIS Below all of the websites is a folder: Web Service Extensions In blue, to the lower left, is a choice: Add A New Web Service Extension Add PHP/PHP5ISAPI.dll Choose To ALLOW it. 2.3 If the version of php5isapi.dll you want to use appears on the list but is not allowed, right click the version of php5isapi.dll you want to allow and click Allow. 3. Configuring IIS for 32-Bit Emulation Mode (THIS IS MOST IMPORTANT!!!!) 3.1. If you are installing IIS on x64-based editions of Windows Server 2003 or Windows Server 2003 R2, IIS must be configured to run in 32 bit emulation mode. Perform the following procedure on each front-end Web server running an x64-based edition of Windows Server 2003. Configure Internet Information Services (IIS) for 32-bit mode 1. Click Start, and then click Run. 2. In the Open box, type cmd, and then click OK. 3. In the command prompt window, navigate to the %drive %:\Inetpub\Adminscripts folder, where %drive% is the drive in which Windows Server 2003 is installed. 4. In the Adminscripts folder, type the following command: cscript adsutil.vbs set w3svc/AppPools/Enable32bitAppOnWin64 1 Note The value "1" for Enable32bitAppOnWin64 specifies 32-bit mode, whereas the value "0" specifies 64-bit mode. 5. Press ENTER. 6. Type iisreset and then press ENTER. 7. Close the command prompt window. 8. Re-star System. Note The Run WWW service in IIS 5.0 isolation mode check box is only selected if you have upgraded to IIS 6.0 on Windows Server 2003 from IIS 5.0
on Windows 2000. New installations of IIS 6.0 use IIS 6.0 worker process isolation mode by default.

In response to phpmanual at pbb dot dds dot nl: You are absolutly correct. I found this out while trying to install PHP4 with Apache2 on XPPro. Here are 3 general guidelines that I have found to be correct: - Path may not have spaces. Change C:\Program Files to C:\Progra~1 If you don't understand this, go to start-->run-->command (not cmd). Type cd\ and hit enter. Then type dir. You should see all your directory names there. - Paths should not be enclosed by quotes. - Use forward slashes (/) and not backslashes (\)

With PHP 4.3.x and apache 1.3.x on windows, PHPRC is used only if php is installed as cgi. With module, no matter using setenv in httpd.conf or PHPRC as windows environment variable, it is not used.

In the above, "the web server's directory" means the directory where the server executable lives, for example for the Apache installation on my XP box this is "\program files\apache group\apache2\bin" and NOT just "\program files\apache group\apache2". But it's probably best to tell your web server where PHP's ini file is stored, for example via PHPIniDir for Apache's http.conf.

Okay, I'm a total newbie to this, so my findings may be wrong, but this is what I found out. The manual says "do not have spaces in the path (like C:\Program Files\PHP) as some web servers will crash if you do". Indeed, when using this with PHP5 on WinXP, I got the error message "The specified module could not be found." However, the problem seems not to lie in the SPACE in the pathname, but in the QUOTES that Windows adds when a space is in the pathname! This is what I found: "C:\Program Files\php5\php5isapi.dll" -- doesn't work C:\php5\php5isapi.dll -- works "C:\php5\php5isapi.dll" -- doesn't work C:\Progra~1\php5\php5isapi.dll -- works "C:\Progra~1\php5\php5isapi.dll" -- doesn't work C:\Program Files\php5\php5isapi.dll -- doesn't work, because it's not accepted by Internet Information Services I don't know if this all is a problem with Internet Information Services or with PHP, but it would be nice if it was more documented in the PHP manual.

After having the same problem as specifed below with "No input file specified". I changed the doc_root as mentioned. This is fine if all php scripts are going to be run from the c:\inetpub\wwwroot directory. To enable it for multiple websites where the root directories are all different simply leave the doc_root attribute in the php.ini file blank. This is for the isapi version not cgi implementation. It also means you don't have to set IUSR or IWAM access to the PHP root directory.

There is another way to execute a PHP ActiveScript: 1/ In explorer, open menu "Tools/Folder Options" 2/ Go to tab "File Type" 3/ Click on "New" button and enter a file extension ( PHS for my sample ), you can also select "PHPScript" in "Advanced" button. Then OK, a new file extension is registered. 4/ In tab "File Type" select the new extension and click on button "Advanced". A new dialog box is open. 5/ Click on "New" button and fill edit box with: Action: Run Application to use: C:\WIN2K\system32\wscript.exe //E:PHPScript "%1" "%2" That's all !!

I have sucessfully installed PHP 4 and 5 on every windows server version since 2000 (not NT4) and XP. It is simple but there are a couple of prerequisites that I've never seen mentioned. 1. Most of the problems folks are experiencing on the server side are .NET 2.0 induced. If you must run .NET 2.0 then you need dll's that were compiled with Visual Studio 8. The big push behind VS.8 and the Express editions is to get you off of PHP and onto C#. Keep that in mind when you develop apps. 2. You can run .NET 2.0 and Visual studio on XP with PHP and IIS if you install Visual Studio first. Visual studio installs its own dedicated version of IIS that works with .NET 2.0 but will not run php. After VS is installed go ahead and install the included XP version of IIS and configure your virtual sites with PHP. If you do it the other way around, VS will incorporate itself into the xp IIS and your PHP will probably not run. 3. Put the PHP ini file where windows wants it, in the (system root) "c:\windows" dir. If you do that, and you are using only the ISAPI dll's, you just need to change the ini file to point to the ext directory correctly and it will run fine. I usually do all the pathing recommendations and set phprc=(php directory) too. I also leave a copy of the current ini file in the php directory root just incase php forgets to consult with the OS before looking for something. Most of the problems with permissions are comming from .NET 2.0. You should never have to weaken security to get PHP to run. 4. Slightly out of scope but important nonetheless. If you do not run .NET 2.0, the ordering of your extensions (ie..mysql.dll, etc.) becomes far less important. You may see a hang occasionally but its rare. Hope this helps someone. Steve

How to solve the nasty "permission denied" under IIS (Windows xp) From http://www.geocities.com/legolas.1558/php_iis_permission_denied.htm 1. Did you disable Simple File Sharing? From any folder click Tools -> Folder Options -> View (tab)-> (scroll the list and find "Simple File Sharing (reccomended)") UNTICK IT 2. Locate your localhost root directory, usually C:\InetPub\wwwroot\ 3. Open the Properties of the whole directory, in our case wwwroot 4. Click the Protection tab(where to manage user rights) 5. Click Add and then click Advanced (button in the bottom-left part of the window) 6. Click Find (the only enabled button between Columns and Stop) 7. Pick the user that starts with IUSR_ (which is the IIS default user) from the list Windows has kindly found for you 8. push OK twice 9. the new added IUSR_ will be selected, from the Authorizations list check Edit (to allow file creation/deletion) and Write (to allow file
modify) 10. click OK one more time to get back to your native folder

After having recently gone through a long process of trial and error installing both php4 and php5 on a single machine under IIS. I eventually did get it working so I thought I'd share what I learnt. Basically, as far as I can tell there is no way to get both versions working using the ISAPI dlls unfortunately. You can however get them working using one as ISAPI and the other as CGI. And probably both as CGI too, although I didn't try that. You'll need to know how to do a manual install of PHP anyway, see the instructions for how to do that. Make sure you follow the steps about your PATH env variable and Allowing extensions on IIS 6. Keep your php.inis in the relevant php directory and make sure they are not in your windows or system32 folders. And all that other hoopla. The crucial part is your php.ini files. The problem being will look at your PHPRC setting and get the ini file path you'll end up with both versions running off the same INI The way around this is to use the CGI for one version and other. that both versions from that. So which is no good. ISAPI for the
The ISAPI dll never seems to look in it's own directory for the ini file, but the CGI exe does. You can use that quirk to your advantage by naming the INI file for the ISAPI version 'php-isapi.ini' and setting the PHPRC environment variable to that path. Then for the CGI version keep the php.ini in the same directory as php.exe. Then set your virtual server to use either the ISAPI module for one version, or the CGI module for the other version, and it should work. Test using phpinfo() to ensure each version is getting it's ini file from the correct place. Basically it seems that the ISAPI module will look in the path set in PHPRC first, and choose the php-isapi.ini file. The CGI module will look in PHPRC first too, but it upon seeing no php.ini it will then move on to search it's own directory, where it finds php.ini.

I have fixed the 404 with this message found at google groups: ----------------------------------------------------------I could not get PHP pages to display in IIS 6 with Windows 2003, using the default install of the stable binaries from php.net. Here is the solution I found. The default install registers the .php extension as belonging to c:\php\php.exe. This is correct, but it's faster to use the ISAPI extension. To 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 6. do this, Open the IIS Management console Expand the server, right click on "Web Sites" and click Properties Open the "ISAPI Filters" foldertab Click Add Enter PHP in the Filter Name box. Click Browse and then Browse to your php4isapi.dll. Click ok -> Apply -> ok
... Once this is completed, your PHP scripts still won't run. The problem is that you have to define and enable PHP as a "Web Service Extension". To do this, 1. Open the IIS Management console
2. Expand the server, and expand the "Web Services Extensions" 3. Click "Add a new Web services Extension" 4. Enter PHP in the Extension Name box. 5. In the required files box, Browse to your php directory and add php4isapi.dll. 6. Click ok -> Apply -> ok Last but not least, You may or may not need to do the following, -Set the extensions path in the php.ini file if you are going to use any extensions , i.e. php_mssql.dll -I had to copy the php4isapi.dll from c:\php\isapi to c:\php, YMMV -Give the webserver user (IUSR_MACHINENAME in most cases) read and execute access to php4isapi.dll and php4ts.dll Good Luck, Ejay Hire EjayH...@hotmail.com ---------------------------------------------------------paul8noeldner at hotmail dot com JB-Oct-?JJ< J@:<A
PROBLEM PHP $DOCUMENT_ROOT was not set in IIS. ANALYSIS A Google search turned up a suggestion re using ISAPI instead of CGI. SOLUTION I did the fix per these suggested steps from Google search: 1 Downloaded PHP5 zip 2 Added ISAPI filter PHP5ISAPI.DLL named PHP 3 Changed document type .php to point at the PHP5ISAPI.DLL file instead of PHP.EXE. RESULT This worked - the php pages started picking up $DOCUMENT_ROOT as expected. General suggestion: Don't waste time with CGI, use ISAPI.

PHP 5, IIS 5, Win XP: One thing to note: if you run phpinfo() and the 'Configuration File (php.ini) Path' points to a directory and not the actual file (ie. C:\\windows instead of C:\\windows\\php.ini) this means that it is not using your php.ini file, it is using default settings. After spending hours searching forums the only thing that got it to work for me was to create a new environment system variable called 'PHPRC' and set it to the path where your php.ini is located (ie C:\\PHP) - simply adding C:\\PHP to the system path variable didn't do it. You have to reboot after this change of course. I'm not sure why this isn't more documented as from my searching there are quite a few people who experience this problem... hope this helps!

After installing PHP and running an http://localhost/test.php file in my browser, I encountered a COM Surrogate error. After some testing, I found that it was a result of un-checking the Cache ISAPI applications checkbox. Consequently, make sure that the Cache ISAPI applications checkbox has a check in it. To get to the checkbox go to: Control Panel>Administrative Tools>Internet Information Services When you are at the IIS window in the left navigational panel go to: Local Computer>Web Sites>Default Web Site Right-click on your default web site and select Properties. A Properties window appears. Select the Home Directory tab. Click on the Configuration... button. A Configuration window appears. Below the Mappings tab is the Cache ISAPI applications checkbox.
Again, make sure that the Cache ISAPI applications checkbox has a check in it. I hope this helps anybody else with a similar problem.

"Click on the 'Configuration' button, and choose the Application Mappings tab. Click Add and set the Executable path to the appropriate CGI file. An example PHP 5 value is: C:\php\php-cgi.exe Supply .php as the extension. Leave 'Method exclusions' blank, and check the 'Script engine' checkbox. Now, click OK a few times." When installing PHP 5 on IIS 6.0 and Windows 2003 I encountered problems with this instruction. I believe the root cause is that IIS requires the "scripts and executables" execute permission to be selected if the script engine has a .exe extension. However, there may have been additional problems. Even when selecting the "scripts and executables" execute permission I continually received HTTP Header errors. The resolution was to follow the instructions for use of php5isapi.dll. The .dll extension can be run with the "scripts only" execute permission. Also remember IIS 6.0 requires that you identify Web Extensions and Allow execution of those extensions.

I had problems upgrading to 5.0.3 isapi on my IIS 6/Windows 2003 server. Most of the instructions I found said to give the IUSR account access to various files/folders. In my case I needed to give access to "Network Service" (not to be confused with just "Network"). 1. In IIS Admin, go to Application Pools 2. Right click on the pool your site is running under and click properties. 3. Go to the Identity tab and see what user is selected. 4. Give that user permissions to your php files/directory. Don't know if this will help anyone else, but thought I'd offer in case.

There's a bug in IIS 5.1 which may prevent you from adding an Application Extension Mapping. If the OK button remains disabled after you've entered the Executable and the Extension, try this workaround provided by Microsoft: 1. Right-click the individual Web site or the Web Sites folder, and then click Properties. 2. On the Home Directory tab, click Configuration. 3. Under Application Configuration, click Add, and then click the Mappings tab. 4. With the Add/Edit Application Extension Mapping dialog box open, click Browse to select the .exe file or the .dll file from the local path on the Web server. Note: You must type the path to a valid file in the Executable text box or the OK button remains unavailable. The easiest way to make sure that you enter a valid path is to select the file by using the Browse button. 5. After the path appears in the Executable text box, click in the Executable text box to initialize the path. 6. Click in the Extension space, and then type the file name extension. Note: - You must enter the period (.) in front of the extension in the Extension text box, or the OK button remains unavailable. 7. When the OK button becomes active, click OK to continue.

If you use IIS6 you have to add a new Webextension for PHP to work, otherwise you will get a "404"-Page if you try to point your browser to a "*.php" file. In order to do this you have to open the IIS-management console and open the "local computer". Under "webextensions" you will find allready a list with different extensions all being blocked by default. To get PHP to work you have to manually add a new webextension. I only have a german version of IIS in front of me so forgive me if i translate the buttons wrongly. Click on "New webextension". Enter any name you like for your new extension. Click on "Add..." and then on "Search...". If you would like to add the DLL just browse to your PHP-directory and you will find the php5ts.dll. If you search for the php-cgi.exe you have to change the filetype at the bottom to
"CGI-Exe-Files". Only after changing the filetype you can see the phpcgi.exe file and choose it for the extension. If you check the checkbox at the bottom of the "New extension" Window it will allow the newly added extension to be executed. Certainly you can change the status any time you want by clicking on "Allow". Only after that procedure you will be able to get in touch with PHP-files. sincerely Juergen Sommer

Under IIS6 (and earlier) After all the installation, do not forget to add "index.php" as default page, under the Documents tab in the Web Site's Properties. 1. Right-click Web Sites, choose Properties 2. Click Documents tab 3. Click Add... 4. Type index.php, click Ok 5. Choose "index.php" from the list and move it to the top using Move Up button. 6. Make sure "Enable default content page" is checked. Ofcourse you can add other pages as default. For those that do not know what is this for: If you do not provide full URL and you have several pages in the directory which are in this list, the server will return the topmost of them. In case you wish to open other page of them, you have to provide its full URL. Putting "index.php" on top will make sure no other pages will be returned as default.

I am running Active Directory & IIS6.0 I found that after looking through the tutorial below i was still unable to get into my site (authentication popup, 401.3 error). I set my permissions for read & execute for IUSR_(server) and IIS_WPG for both my document root and the php directory.. no luck. However, here's how i solved the problem. (I believe this solution is relevant to fixing the active directory issue) 1. You want to give the IUSR_* and IIS_WPG read & execute permission to the PHP DIRECTORY ONLY. (I managed to remove the credentials from my document root and it still works. 2. Open IIS Manager and go to Application Pools, then to the pool which is relevant to your site (in my case DefaultAppPool).. on this item, right click and choose properties. 3. Now navigate to the identity tab. 4. My Worker process was set to Predefined: Network Service. I changed this to Configurable: IWAM_(server name) (which if you noticed is in the user group 'IIS_WPG') Note: i also changed the passwords for my IUSR_* and IWAM_* accounts to be sure they werent set to something easy by default. Its probably a good idea to do this too. Hope this solves someones frustration.

On Windows Server 2003 (formerly .net server) with IIS 6 (final RTM - build 3790) I got PHP working by using one of the tips above (thanks!). I noted however, that I did not need to 'allow unknown Isapi applications' , and I was able to keep the configuration at 'Scripts Only' instead of 'Scripts and Executables' - both settings are potentially more secure this way. The only configuration that is different from how I normally configure PHP on IIS 5 is the addition of PHP as a Web Service Extension.

Here's a quick fyi, to get PHP installed on .Net Server w/ IIS 6 you have to use the IIS manager to enable support for different web service extentions. CGI ,ASP, ISAPI are all prohibited by default. In IIS manager click on the Web Service Extentions Folder there's options to add a new extention , prohibit all extentions etc. I chose add new extention ,in the dialog box I named it PHP , click add , in the next dialog browse to path of 'php4isapi.dll' hit ok then mark checkbox "Set extention status Allowed" hit ok and all is good. This was done after I followed the install.txt for IIS 4 or newer .

To Besta and 'j dot b..dot sk': 'Add Module mod_php4.c' or 'AddModule mod_php5.c' may or may not be necessary depending on your environment and version of Apache. In my situation, this add module DID NOT work or it wasn't necessary. The LoadModule was enough to do the trick. I tried it with PHP4 on Apache 1.3.34 and Apache 2.0. All in all, your notes have been helpful.

Indeed the references to "apachelounge" are a lifesaver! With regards to installation : Apache 2.2.2 and php v5.1.2 / 5.1.3 / 5.1.4 http://www.apachelounge.com/ Excellent site for these installation issues. MX

If you use Apache 2.2.x, the included DLLs (php4apache2.dll and php5apache2.dll) will not work for you as they are specific to the Apache 2.0.x API. There is an open bug report to address this issue but if you can't wait then go to the following URL and download an appropriate DLL for Apache 2.2.x: * http://apachelounge.com/ The PHP Group does not endorse this site but it appears useful, so use it :-)

I had a hard time to install PHP5.1 with Apache2.2 as a module, because whenever I tried to start apache, I always got the error that "Cannot load C:/php/php5apache2.dll into server: The specified module could not be found." I have checked that php5apache2.dll does in the right directory of "c:/php/", and I have also tried to copy some files (php5ts.dll, php.ini) into relevant directories, such as WINDOWS/, Apache2/, but none of them worked. I then found a post http://www.apachelounge.com/forum/ viewtopic.php?t=139&view=next&sid=b8df0fe80ac524939e2553ad7ee49123 and tried as suggested by downloading a zip file created by Steffen, and followed the instructions. The apache2.2 now works fine. BTW, I am using a XP home and folllowed the instructions on the top part of this page.

This took a while for me to figure out but hopefully it will save some time for others. Running Apache 2, PHP 5.1.1 on Windows XP and could not get mysql library to load. Extension path was correct in php.ini and the module resided in the correct spot. Discovered that libmysql.dll in the root php directory needs to be moved to C:\WINDOWS or be included in Windows paths in order for this module to load. From Zend: "Some modules depend of other libraries, like MySQL. In this case you need to copy libmysql.dll from your MySQL/bin installation directory to a directory in your PATH, like C:\WINDOWS" Copied over the file and mysql functionality was enabled.

There are often strong suggestions that Apache/MySQL/PHP should be set up in the Windows root folder, and dire warnings against using folders with spaces in the name. But as a relatively non-technical user, I hate cluttering my Windows XP root directory with folders that should be under Program Files,
and of keeping any documents other than in "My Documents" (even though I agree that MS's folder tree is ugly). Frankly I've never had any difficulty with Apache and MySQL under Program Files, PHP5 deep in the Apache tree, and all documents under My Docs.. Here are the related Apache 2 config lines I use in case anyone is interested (sorry if there are broken lines): ServerRoot "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2" DocumentRoot "C:/Documents and settings/UserNm/My Documents/Websites" # PHP 5 module LoadModule php5_module "c:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/php5/php5apache2.dll" AddType application/x-httpd-php .php PHPIniDir "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/php5/"

When you try apache using the bin directory use the command: apache -n "service_name" -t Use for service_name the name u used. You can find the service_name also in the system tray

BTW I use Win9x to develop but it's not a production server. And yes, adding a trailing slash to the PHPIniDir directive helps.
Isaac dot Frown at "r1in4eritor dot com I@-$ay-?JJ< J<:<O
Some XP finding php.ini finding
machines are having troubles with the PHPIniDir derective not the php.ini (or so they think). Directories that do contain a file are returned as empty and it defaults to the next method of php.ini (often C:/windows or C:/winnt).
This is likely caused by read permissions not being set correctly on NTFS file systems, however, it has occurred when no cause could be identified. If setting correct file permissions doesn't work, the easiest way around this problem is moving php.ini to the Apache directory or adding the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\PHP\IniFilePath string to your registry and setting it to the correct directory.

Although the warning above reads "We do not recommend using a threaded MPM in production with Apache2" - ignore that nonsense for Win32. All Apache/Win32 builds were *always* threaded. Always choose Apache 2 over Apache 1.3 on Windows - because major portions of Apache 2 were written from the ground up to accept Windows. Apache 1.3 was never designed for threads or non-posix systems. For Windows they were squirled in with some rather ugly hacks, which will never enjoy much improvement.

PHP via ISAPI with XITAMI I have developed a small GUI in c++, which runs XITAMI and configures the Xitami ISAPI interface for use with PHP. It is so much faster than the PHP cgi interface and appears to be more stable too. Take a look here: http://catalog.net.au/xisapi/default.html Ron Boles Melbourne, Australia
Hoshambo IN-Oct-?JJB JI:BO
I was only able to get PHP (4.3.3) working under Xitami (2.5c0) on Windows XP (SP1) by adding the following lines to defaults.cfg: [Mime] php=application/x-httpd-php
[Filter] .php="c:/php/php.exe" Note the quotation marks and the forward slashes in the filter section.

Using the CGI (c:\php[version]\php.exe) with Xitami since PHP version 4.3.2 requires the following setting in php.ini before the $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] call will return a value: cgi.fix_pathinfo=1 Note that $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'] still works.
>an;o dot sla1ic at email dot si BJ-)ov-?JJ? J?:<I
[Editors Note] You can force IE to disregard a cached page by pressing the Control key and click the Refresh button. Please, do not forget the IE caches files. I had a test.php and got the error message. I changed the defaults.cfg and also the cgi.force_redirect to = 0. After restarting the Xitami the error message was still there. After a while I saved the test.php file to test2.php and found that it is working fine...

If You try to install PHP5 to IIS6 with Oracle.... Then You need some kind of pilot-exams, not for big planes, just a little one. So: After installations (php.ini is correct see above ie.: extenstion = php_oci8.dll etc) If You use anonymous access, You'll have a builtin user to use it. Make this user local administrator, or give minimum read access to PHP folder (ie.: c:\php) and ORAHOME (ie. c:\ora92) folders. If You use Windows Integrated authentication, give for Domain Users minimum read access to PHP folder (ie.: c:\php) and ORAHOME (ie. c:\ora92) folders. Goog luck.
sopp8ladios at hotmail dot com IO-(u!-?JJ: JO:B<
[editor note: this should be fixed in PHP 5.1.0] The order of the extensions listed in php.ini is causing problems... one must check that a particular extension A is enabled and above extension B if B requires A to be enabled. The original ordering doesnt make sure that this always happens (ie, A is above B) I came into this problem when I tried to enable the exif extension under windows. I knew mbstring is required but I kept getting errors even after I enabled both.
The problem can only be fixed by moving the mbstring line above the exif line...
