| I am inside the php 4.3.4 folder in the terminal window. I am trying
to configure PHP. There is a config.guess and a install-sh. What do I
do with that? I don't know how to install PHP. The cookbook said to
download Xtools which I'm trying to get version 1.2 because I have
MacOS X.2.8. I don't have a web server except the personal web server
which comes with the MacOS X. I am just trying to learn PHP.
The first step is to run this command which I did and nothing happens:
/configure --help | less
Is there a simple configuration just for practise?
the cookbook also says:
or instance, to link in support for reading and writing XML using the
DOM, using the FTP module, and communicating with LDAP servers, use the
command:
[benlev:~/php-4.3.0] adam% ./configure --with-dom --enable-ftp
--with-ldap
which I assume is a basic installation but I don't know how to get that
far since I can't get ./configure to work
I would like to read and write using XML what is the DOM? Do I need
the FTP module to upload pages to a server or can I use a FTP program
like interarchy? At this point I don't have a server so I suppose I
don't need LDAP but what is enable ftp with LDAP mean?
thankx,
