My custom optimized build of PHP 5.5 & PHP 5.4

Everyone has their own requirements of what they need enabled or not, this is my setup that I've used over the last couple of years. I have had the option of both PHP 5.4 and 5.5, but my personal preference is to go with the latest 5.5 releases.

apt-get install autoconf libxml2-dev libcurl3-dev libmysqlclient-dev libbz2-dev libsnmp9-dev libjpeg-dev libpng-dev libfreetype6-dev libmcrypt-dev libc-client-dev snmp


export PHP_VER=5.4.29
export PHP_PREFIX=php5.4


-- for php 5.3 - 5.4
wget "http://nl.php.net/distributions/php-$PHP_VER.tar.gz" -O php-$PHP_VER.tar.gz
tar xfz "php-$PHP_VER.tar.gz"
cd "php-$PHP_VER"


export PHP_VER=5.5.13
export PHP_PREFIX=php5.5

cd /app/sources/
rm php* -fr

-- for php 5.5
wget "http://dk1.php.net/get/php-$PHP_VER.tar.bz2/from/www.php.net/mirror" -O php-$PHP_VER.tar.bz2
tar xjf "php-$PHP_VER.tar.bz2"
cd "php-$PHP_VER"

#### CHANGES

### PHP 5.4 -> 5.5
<< --enable-opcache ln -s /app/${PHP_PREFIX}/bin/php /usr/bin/php ln -s /app/${PHP_PREFIX}/bin/pear /usr/bin/pear ln -s /app/${PHP_PREFIX}/bin/pecl /usr/bin/pecl cp sapi/fpm/init.d.php-fpm /etc/init.d/php-fpm chmod +x /etc/init.d/php-fpm update-rc.d -f php-fpm defaults

Most things should be self-explained, but note that if you go with PHP 5.4 that you should add --enable-opcache to the compile to use 'now' standard opcache of PHP.



Happy pasting!
