+ Using binary packages to install PHP on OpenBSD is the recommended
+ and simplest method. The core package has been separated from the various
+ modules, and each can be installed and removed independently from the others.
+ The files you need can be found on your OpenBSD CD or on the FTP site.
+ </simpara>
<simpara>
- This is the recommended method of installing PHP on OpenBSD, as it will have
- the latest patches and security fixes applied to it by the maintainers. To
- use this method, ensure that you have a <ulink url="&url.openbsd.ports;">
- recent ports tree</ulink>. Then simply find out which flavors you wish
- to install, and issue the <command>make install</command> command. Below
- is an example of how to do this.
+ The main package you need to install is <filename>php4-core-4.2.3.tgz</filename>,
+ which contains the basic engine (plus gettext and iconv). Next, take a look
+ at the module packages, such as <filename>php4-mysql-4.2.3.tgz</filename>
+ or <filename>php4-imap-4.2.3.tgz</filename>. You need to use the
+<command>phpxs</command>
+ command to activate and deactivate these modules in your
+<filename>php.ini</filename>
+ file.

<simpara>
- There are pre-compiled packages available for your release
- of <ulink url="&url.openbsd;">OpenBSD</ulink>. These integrate
- automatically with the version of Apache installed with the OS.
- However, since there are a large number of options (called
- <emphasis>flavors</emphasis>) available for this port,
- you may find it easier to compile it from source using the ports tree.
- Read the <ulink url="&url.openbsd.packages;">packages(7)</ulink>
- manual page for more information in what packages are available.
+ You can also compile up PHP from source using the <ulink
+url="&url.openbsd.ports;">ports tree</ulink>.
+ However, this is only recommended for users familiar with OpenBSD. The PHP4 port
+ is split into three sub-directories: core, extensions and pear. The
+ extensions directory generates sub-packages for all of the supported
+ PHP modules. If you find you do not want to create some of these modules,
+ use the <command>no_*</command> FLAVOR. For example, to skip building
+ the imap module, set the FLAVOR to <command>no_imap</command>.
+ </simpara>
+ </sect2>
+ <sect2 id="install.openbsd.older">
+ <title>Older Releases</title>
+ <simpara>
+ Older releases of OpenBSD used the FLAVORS system to compile up
+ a statically linked PHP. Since it is hard to generate binary packages using
+ this method, it is now deprecated. You can still use the old stable
+ ports trees if you wish, but they are unsupported by the OpenBSD team.
+ If you have any comments about this, the current maintainer for the port
+ is <ulink url='mailto:avsm@;openbsd.org'>Anil Madhavapeddy</ulink>.
