This section contains notes and hints specific to Apache installs
of PHP, both for Unix and
Windows versions.
You can select arguments to add to the
configure on line 8 below from the Complete list of configure
options.
Example 2-4.
Installation Instructions (Apache Module Version)
1. gunzip apache_1.3.x.tar.gz
2. tar xvf apache_1.3.x.tar
3. gunzip php-x.x.x.tar.gz
4. tar xvf php-x.x.x.tar
5. cd apache_1.3.x
6. ./configure --prefix=/www
7. cd ../php-x.x.x
8. ./configure --with-mysql --with-apache=../apache_1.3.x --enable-track-vars
9. make
10. make install
11. cd ../apache_1.3.x
12. for PHP 3: ./configure --activate-module=src/modules/php3/libphp3.a
for PHP 4: ./configure --activate-module=src/modules/php4/libphp4.a
13. make
14. make install
Instead of this step you may prefer to simply copy the httpd binary
overtop of your existing binary. Make sure you shut down your
server first though.
15. cd ../php-x.x.x
16. for PHP 3: cp php3.ini-dist /usr/local/lib/php3.ini
for PHP 4: cp php.ini-dist /usr/local/lib/php.ini
You can edit your .ini file to set PHP options. If
you prefer this file in another location, use
--with-config-file-path=/path in step 8.
17. Edit your httpd.conf or srm.conf file and add:
For PHP 3: AddType application/x-httpd-php3 .php3
For PHP 4: AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
You can choose any extension you wish here. .php is simply the one
we suggest. You can even include .html .
18. Use your normal procedure for starting the Apache server. (You must
stop and restart the server, not just cause the server to reload by
use a HUP or USR1 signal.)

Different examples of compiling PHP for apache are as follows:
This will create a libphp4.so shared
library that is loaded into Apache using a LoadModule line in
Apache's httpd.conf
