1) I compiled php with the --with-apxs option and the
/usr/local/bin/php executable file was installed anyway. And when I
used the command
"pear install DB", for example, it worked. Are you sure I need to
recompile php to get this executable there? My php version is
php-4.3.11.
2) If it's really necessary to compile php twice, I think you could
remark this in the begining of the php installation section, this way
people get more acquainted with the procedures they're going to do.
3) It would be handy if you provide a "quick install" summary with
only the commands needed to install the php correctly, letting the
detailed installation (with the explanations) after this quick install
guide. This quick install could be something like:
To install php for horde, download and extract the php package and:
cd ~php-4.X/
./configure --with-opt1 --with-op2 ...
make
make install
pear install module1
pear install module2
...
# compile php again to install the static binary
make clean
./configure
make
make install
etc
This would help to give a broad vision of the installation process.
Thank you for the attention,
Bruno Negrao.

of PHP are required, the one that is installed as a web server module,
and one command line binary required for PEAR. If you have suggestions
how to improve the wording to make it more clear, let us know.

you tell we should install php with the configure option
"--with-apxs". But later, in 3.d, you say that we should not compile
php with the '--with-apxs' option, see the text bellow extracted
from INSTALL:
"This method of installing PEAR modules requires that your PHP has
been compiled as a static binary. If you installed PHP as a webserver
module, recompile PHP without the module option (for Apache, without
both --with-apache and --with-apxs) and do a make install."
Isn't it confusing? Does horde needs php with-apxs or without it?
thanks,
bruno
