Php

To install php on Centos enter following command:

yum install php

To install php-mysql:

yum install php-mysql

Locate working php.ini:

php -i | grep 'Configuration File'

Create file phpinfo.php in web accessible directory, for example /var/www/html:

nano /var/www/html/phpinfo.php

Add following to the file and save it:

<?php

// Show all information, defaults to INFO_ALL
phpinfo();

?>

'./configure' '--with-apxs2=/usr/bin/apxs2' '--with-mysql=/usr' '--with-mysqli=/usr/bin/mysql_config' '--with-pgsql=/usr' '--with-tidy=/usr' '--with-curl=/usr/bin' '--with-curlwrappers' '--with-openssl-dir=/usr'  '--with-xpm-dir=/usr' '--with-pdo-pgsql=/usr' '--with-pdo-mysql=/usr' '--with-xsl=/usr' '--with-ldap' '--with-xmlrpc' '--with-iconv-dir=/usr' '--with-snmp=/usr' '--enable-exif' '--enable-calendar' '--with-bz2=/usr' '--with-gd' '--with-jpeg-dir=/usr' '--with-png-dir=/usr' '--with-zlib-dir=/usr' '--with-freetype-dir=/usr' '--enable-zip' '--with-pear
