Saving your PHP configure options

Posted by: dave In: Lessons learned

If you admin a (U*ix) PHP server and…
If you recompile PHP periodically and…
If you use a lot of add-ins with PHP

do yourself a favor & save your "./configure…" command to a file with:

echo ./configure -my options- > configure.sh

You can then chmod the file as you see fit so no one else can run it…

Then, when you want to reconfigure & recompile PHP, just delete config.cache & run sh configure.sh

Now back to figure out all the options I had compiled into PHP.. doh!

phpinfo() will output the configure options, Despite the quotes around each option, you can copy and paste them right onto the command line.

true, and what I'm using to rebuild my config…
The problem is that I have many third party libraries configured into PHP (mcrypt, pspell, zlib) & its a real pain to fill out the ./configure command every time..

this is really just a time saving idea…
