[cobalt-developers] recompiling PHP4 on Qube 3 for enabling FTP/PDF-functions

["Brunnengräber, Stefan" <Stefan.Brunnengraeber@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I wondered about the fact, that on my Qube 3 PHP4 is installed, but many
main modules of PHP4 are not implemented because they were not compiled into
the packages.

So I wanted to ask, how to manage, that I can use nearly all PHP4 functions,
esp. FTP-support and PDF-support.

I know that someone has to recompile PHP with several additional parameters
to do this.

But:
- I found no source code of PHP4 at my Qube
- I found no configuration file .configure to set compiling parameters
- I found no instructions how to compile it, how to make a makefile for the
Qube
- there seems not to be a cobalt package file to add these features
- I haven't got success by installing Apache 1.3.20, I hoped that it will
bring a new PHP4 with it, but it wasn't

I haven't installed any standard redhat RPMs yet, because I don't want to
loose my Admin-Frontend, that is based on PHP.

Here is my SuSE 7.2 PCs' PHP configuration. I wanted to transfer my
applications to the Qube 3, but they don't work ...
