This section has details about PHP download locations,
and OS issues.
You can download PHP from any of the members of the
PHP network of sites. These can be found at
http://www.php.net/. You can also use anonymous CVS
to get the absolute latest version of the source. For
more information, go to http://cvs.php.net/.
We only distribute precompiled binaries for Windows
systems, as we are not able to compile PHP for every
major Linux/Unix platform with every extension
combination. Also note, that many Linux distributions
come with PHP built in these days. Windows binaries can
be downloaded from our
Downloads page, for Linux binaries, please visit
your distributions website.
注: Those marked with * are not thread-safe libraries, and should not be used with PHP as a server module in the multi-threaded Windows web servers (IIS, Netscape). This does not matter in Unix environments, yet.
LDAP (Unix/Win) : Netscape
Directory (LDAP) SDK 1.1.
Berkeley DB2 (Unix/Win) :
http://www.sleepycat.com/.
Sybase-CT* (Linux, libc5) :
Available locally.
You will need to follow instructions provided with
the library. Some of these libraries are detected
automatically when you run the 'configure' script of
PHP (such as the GD library), and others you will have
to enable using '--with-EXTENSION' options to 'configure'. Run 'configure --help' for a listing of
these.
5. I got the
latest version of the PHP source code from the CVS
repository on my Windows machine, what do I need to
compile it?
First, you will need Microsoft Visual C++ v6 (v5
may do it also, but we do it with v6), and you will
need some support files. See the manual section about
building PHP from source on Windows.
