<title>Basic PHP Packages Consolidated</title> |
| 43 |
<body> |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
<p> |
| 46 |
There is only one php package (as opposed to one package for each SAPI like |
| 47 |
cgi, cli or apache). You can enable the SAPIs you want via USE flags in |
| 48 |
<c>dev-lang/php</c>. A list of available SAPIs is included below. |
| 49 |
You can combine them as you wish, but obviously you need at least one of |
| 50 |
them to make any use of your php installation. |
| 51 |
</p> |
| 52 |
|
| 53 |
<p> |
| 54 |
To choose the SAPI you want, use these USE flags: |
| 55 |
</p> |
| 56 |
|
| 57 |
<ul> |
| 58 |
<li><c>cgi</c> - builds & installs <path>/usr/bin/php-cgi</path></li> |
| 59 |
<li><c>cli</c> - builds & installs <path>/usr/bin/php</path></li> |
| 60 |
<li><c>apache2</c> - builds & installs <c>mod_php</c> for Apache 2.0</li> |
| 61 |
</ul> |
| 62 |
|
| 63 |
<note> |
| 64 |
There are requests to add <c>fpm</c> as a SAPI. The Gentoo PHP team will |
| 65 |
support this as soon as the PHP project includes this SAPI in an upstream |
| 66 |
release of php (most likely php-5.4). |
| 67 |

<title>Portage Categories</title> |

<body> |
| 75 |
|
| 76 |
<p> |
| 77 |
The PHP package have been moved from <c>dev-php</c> to <c>dev-lang/php</c>. |
| 78 |
You can find PECL extensions and other packages depending on the version of PHP |
| 79 |
in the <c>dev-php5</c> category. All version independent packages can be found |
| 80 |
in the <c>dev-php</c> category. This was introduced to support the parallel use |
| 81 |
of PHP4 and PHP5 and will continue with a <c>dev-php6</c> category once the PHP |
| 82 |
project releases a new major version. |

<title>Directories and configuration files</title> |
| 90 |
<body> |
| 91 |
|
| 92 |
<ul> |
| 93 |
<li>The PHP package installs its contents into <path>/usr/lib/php5</path> |
| 94 |
(the Apache modules go into the right place for Apache).</li> |
| 95 |
<li>The PEAR packages and other PHP libraries go into <path>/usr/share/php</path> (was |
| 96 |
<path>/usr/lib/php</path> before).</li> |
| 97 |
<li>PECL packages will no longer add configuration directives by adding them |
| 98 |
to the <path>php.ini</path> configuration file, but add a |
| 99 |
<path>[PACKAGE].ini</path> file to the <path>/etc/php/[SAPI]/ext</path> |
| 100 |
directory.</li> |

<title>Symlinking of PHP binaries</title> |
| 108 |
<body> |
| 109 |
|
| 110 |
<p> The PHP package will create symlinks in <path>/usr/bin</path> for the |
| 111 |
version of PHP you installed most recently. Currently, your choice is |
| 112 |
restricted to PHP major version 5. However, the Gentoo PHP team may |
| 113 |
allow a more fine grained slotting or introduce PHP6 to the tree. You |
| 114 |
can then <uri link="#doc_chap3_sect5">use the php-select tool</uri> |
| 115 |
from <c>app-admin/php-toolkit</c> to change the symlinks. </p> |

<title>Configuration files</title> |

<body> |
| 142 |
|
| 143 |
<p> |
| 144 |
The Gentoo PHP Package stores configuration in <path>/etc/php</path>, which |
| 145 |
contains one subdirectory for each SAPI for each PHP version (only PHP5 for |
| 146 |
now): |
| 147 |
</p> |
| 148 |
|
| 149 |
<pre caption="list PHP config directories"> |
| 150 |
$ <i>ls -1 /etc/php</i> |
| 151 |
apache2-php5 |
| 152 |
cli-php5 |
| 153 |
cgi-php5 |
| 154 |
</pre> |
| 155 |
|
| 156 |
<p> Every subdirectory contains an own <path>php.ini</path>, but external |
| 157 |
(shared) extension are now kept in their own |
| 158 |
<path>/etc/php/{apach2,cli,cgi}-php5/ext</path> directory. To enable/ |
| 159 |
disable shared extensions, symlinks from <path>/etc/php/*/ext-active</path> |
| 160 |
are used. If you want to enable an extension, create a symlink in |
| 161 |
<path>/etc/php/*/ext-active</path> to the corresponding |
| 162 |
<path>[EXTENSION].ini</path> file in <path>/etc/php/*/ext/</path>. If you |
| 163 |
want to disable an extension, remove the symlink. </p> |
| 164 |
|
| 165 |
<note> If you install PHP as an Apache module, make sure to restart Apache |
| 166 |
after installation and configuration. </note> |

|
| 175 |
<p> To configure Apache to load your PHP5 module (mod_php), you have to add |
| 176 |
<c>-D PHP5</c> to <c>APACHE2_OPTS</c> variable in |
| 177 |
<path>/etc/conf.d/apache2</path>. </p> |
