This section contains notes and hints specific to
installing PHP on Linux distributions.
Many Linux distributions have some sort of package
installation system, such as RPM. This can assist in
setting up a standard configuration, but if you need to
have a different set of features (such as a secure server,
or a different database driver), you may need to build PHP
and/or your webserver. If you are unfamiliar with building
and compiling your own software, it is worth checking to
see whether somebody has already built a packaged version
of PHP with the features you need.
