Help me help someone

DorkRawk

I'm building a site for my team at work, but it is being moved off of the server I was devloping on to a different server (which does not have PHP on it....gasp!) I have yet to talk to anybody at work who really knows PHP so I'm trying to help the owner of this never server load PHP on, but my knowledge is VERY limited. He downloaded PHP 4.3.2 (tar.gz) and then sent me an e-mail that said this......
"I downloaded the source code, but since I am not a programmer, it may take me awhile to compile and install it. If you can help me create the binaries, then I can install them."

Well, I have no idea how to create the binaries, or even what that means, but I would like to help him out as much as possible seeing that he is installing PHP to this server specificly for my project. Any thoughts?

Hi,

which OS is installed on that server ? Which php functionality do you need ?

DorkRawk

It's an Apache server on a UNIX machine I think.

Can you ask him what OS exactly. What to do depends on that information. Additionally, it would be very helpful to know which of the php functionality you need.

Ok, I'm pretty sure it's Solaris (is this the type of OS name your looking for??) I'm not sure what you mean by PHP functionality, could you explain to me more of what you need to know? Thanks for helping.
