hi guyz,
has anybody ever compiled PHP with a 3rd party code/app?
if yes pls tell me how.
i wanted to use CURL and i was told that i'll need to compile PHP with it.
i already have downloaded CURL but where do i get PHP to compile and how do i compile it.
Which operating system?
I find the official website is, believe it or not, generally a good place to look.

If you download the ZIP version of PHP it will include the curl extension dll and you can get the other DLL's from the libcurl website.
oh yeah i've read that before but this is what i don't understand
pls helpQuote:
To use PHP's CURL support you must also compile PHP --with-curl[=DIR] where DIR is the location of the directory containing the lib and include directories. In the "include" directory there should be a folder named "curl" which should contain the easy.h and curl.h files. There should be a file named libcurl.a located in the "lib" directory. Beginning with PHP 4.3.0 you can configure PHP to use CURL for URL streams --with-curlwrappers.
What about the bit underneath?

Note to Win32 Users: In order to enable this module on a Windows environment, libeay32.dll and ssleay32.dll must be present in your PATH.
You don't need libcurl.dll from the CURL site.
must be present in your PATH
what path?
is php's installation or extension's directory?
PATH is an environment variable in Windows. You can change this from Control Panel -> System -> Advanced -> Environment Variables.
