Can I easily recompile PHP with all my current settings and enable SOAP with the new configuration?

I have PHP 5.1.6 working with tons of mods and extensions, is there a way to reconfigure the current settings as well as add SOAP to the mix?

Yes; if you do php -i|grep 'Configure Command'

it will show you the current build options for your recompilation. Just add SOAP for that.

If you have the source code for this PHP version (quite old, but you can certainly find it somewhere, for example: http://www.php.net/releases/#5.1.6 ), yes, you can:

  • use phpinfo()

    or php -i

    : the output will be the string " configure

    " that was used to build your current PHP version
  • go to your sources directory and run this configure line with all its options; don't forget to add --enable-soap

    (if I remember correctly) to add a new extension!
  • Then create as you always did ( make

    , make install

    )


And voila; -)

And when you have a new executable and / or PHP module, just keep using the same one php.ini

, so you don't need to reconfigure everything.

for CentsOS 5 (Linux) I just found that I can use yum install php-soap and then restart Apache

depending on your linus distribution you might be in luck and you can just install php-soap via your package manager

yum install php-soap for CentOS or apt-get install php-soap for Debian / Ubuntu etc.

php -i | grep 'Configure command'

doesn't seem to work anymore. You can do

Php config
