      You can use <application>PHP</application> for server-side
      scripting, command-line scripting or client-side GUI applications. This
      book provides instructions for setting up <application>PHP</application>
      for server-side scripting as it is the most common form.

    <note>
      <para>
        <application>PHP</application> has many more
        <command>configure</command> options that will enable support for
        various things. You can use <command>./configure --help</command> to
        see a full list of the available options. Also, use of the
        <ulink url="http://www.php.net/">PHP web site</ulink>
        is highly recommended, as their online docs are very good. An example
        of a <command>configure</command> command that utilizes many of the
        most common dependencies can be found at <ulink
        url="&sources-anduin-http;/files/php_configure.txt"/>.

      <para>
        If desired, add the entry using the following command as the
        <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> user:
      </para>

<screen role="root"><userinput>sed -i 's@php/includes"@&amp;\ninclude_path = ".:/usr/lib/php"@' \
    /etc/php.ini</userinput></screen>

      <para>
        To enable fastCGI support in the <application>Apache</application>
        web server, two LoadModule directives must be added to the
        <filename>httpd.conf</filename> file. They are commented out, so just
        issue the following command as
        <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> user:
      </para>

<screen role="root"><userinput>sed -i -e '/proxy_module/s/^#//'      \
       -e '/proxy_fcgi_module/s/^#//' \
       /etc/httpd/httpd.conf</userinput></screen>

      <para>
        Those modules accept various <command>ProxyPass</command>
        directives. One possibility is (as the
        <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> user):
      </para>

<screen role="root"><userinput>echo \
'ProxyPassMatch ^/(.*\.php)$ fcgi://127.0.0.1:9000/srv/www/$1' >> \
/etc/httpd/httpd.conf</userinput></screen>

      <para>
        Additionally, it may be useful to add an entry for
        <filename>index.php</filename> to the DirectoryIndex directive of the
        <filename>httpd.conf</filename> file. Lastly, adding a line to setup the
        <filename class='extension'>.phps</filename> extension to show
        highlighted <application>PHP</application> source may be
        desirable:
      </para>

<screen><literal>AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps</literal></screen>

      <para>
        You'll need to restart the <application>Apache</application> web server
        after making any modifications to the <filename>httpd.conf</filename>
        file.
