phpLib, installing with PHP4

[Anon]

Hi everyone,

I would like to ask about installing phpLIB with a "normal" apache, PHP4 configuration.

The docs on the phplib site only refer to php3 installation and is makes me a little uncertain.

Like:

php3.ini = what file (php-config?)
What configs need to be changed? The docs mention both php3.ini and possibly apaches config file?

Does anyone have the time to make a short list of steps for php4 installation. I don't want to mess upp too much on my own.

thanx

Just figured out the problem myself.

It seamed that my phpinstallation couldn't find php.ini

wow what a stupid thing to stumble on.

Just to answer my own question:

Changing settings for phpLib can be done in apaches config file very easily. if php.ini is lost for example or if you want diffrent setings for diffrent virtual hosts.

Add the following to the conf file will get everything working in a hurry.

php_value "include_path" "/my/little/path"
php_value "auto_prepend_file" "prepend.php3"

also for php4: change apaches conf file so that .php3 files dont try to run php3.

I humbly thank myself.

There is one big change I think you'll need to make to get it all working well in php4.

In template.inc there is a line like
"{$something}" that you need to change to
'{' . $something . '}'
because php4 uses {} around variables in strings where php3 doesn't.

Good luck!
