[PHP] How to know which PHP is used by Apache
Hi All, In the situation if there are two PHP's installed on the Linux box. How to know which PHP is used by Apache? Another question is do Apache need PHP's binary to execute PHP Scripts? If yes what is the role of libphp5.so in Apache? Note: PHP is configured as module under Apache. Appreciate your thoughts. -- Devendra Jadhav देवेंद्र जाधव

The libphp5.so is the Apache module that links PHP into Apache. You need this and PHP installed if you want to use PHP in Apache. The module itself indicates what version of PHP Apache will be using.

First of all, libphp5.so is created during the php compilation process. So it will use version of php with which it was compiled. Also, I don't think php's binary is needed for execution of php scripts is needed. -- Nilesh Govindarajan Site Server Administrator www.itech7.com मेरा भारत महान ! मम भारत: महत्तम भवतु ! -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Compile a different version of php without libphp5.so, and replace the php interpreter of libphp5.so with this one. If phpinfo() from apache shows you a different version then libphp5 uses the binary else not. As per common logic, libphp5 embeds the php interpreter into apache, hence it'd not make sense to say that it needs the binary. -- Nilesh Govindarajan Site Server Administrator www.itech7.com मेरा भारत महान ! मम भारत: महत्तम भवतु ! -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

And I am not able to find which php's binary is used by using phpinfo(). Anyone confident about either of the two answers? Pretty confident about all of them. Nilesh probably misunderstood, or we are misunderstanding him. PHP has to have a binary file, whether it's the CLI interpreter or the Apache module. Run a script with phpinfo() in it. Look for the line that says Server API. If this reads something like Apache $N.$N Handler, then the PHP interpreter binary is something like libphp$n.so. If the line reads Command Line Interface, then you are using something like /usr/bin/php, /usr/local/bin/php, etc. (I'm from a BSD background, your $penguin_path may vary). If you are talking about actually having two different versions of PHP installed, and not sure which is actually being called, you might find out something with the Linux equivalent of the BSD `pkg_which`: [31] Thu 01.Apr.2010 10:39:24 [ad...@archangel][/usr/local/bin] sudo pkg_which /usr/local/bin/php php5-5.2.11 This command is highly dependent on your Linux distro: on RH I think it's rpm, dpkg on Debian, urpmf on Mandriva, etc. If you have two installations of the same version, $deity help you :-) HTH, Kevin Kinsey -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
