How to compile php?

[dico]

Hi there,

Can someone please recommend a good resource to teach me how to compile php --with-ldap?

I have a win2k server with IIS and PHP5. We need to compile --with-ldap for our authentication to work and i'm not sure how to do this with an existing install...

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks,

for windows you dont need to compile it with ldap, there should be dll files packaged with the zip php came in. in your php.ini, there is a directive, extension_dir, this should point to the directory where the dll files should be placed. make sure php_ldap.dll is in the proper folder. and to finalize it, in the php.ini file, there should be a line, probably commented that says
;extension=php_ldap.dll
remove the ; from the front, restart your webserver and now ldap functions should be available.
