PHP Development add-on overview

The PHP Development add-on enables you to customize the PHP application to suit the needs of your hosting environment.

The PHP RPMs released by the service vendors are configured to support a broad segment of users and are therefore very generic in their capabilities. The PHP Development add-on enables you to modify the PHP source file to alter its default capabilities, and rebuild the application enabling you to meet your specific hosting requirements.

Ensim provides all the tools, libraries and header files necessary to rebuild the PHP RPMs as an add-on.

- Note: You must select the PHP add-on and install it on your server before you can customize it.

- Important: The add-on does not include the PHP source RPM required for rebuilding PHP. The PHP source RPM must be downloaded from the FTP site, ftp://download.fedora.redhat.com.
