.SH "DESCRIPTION"

PHP is a programming language frequently used for web applications.

.PP

If you are new to PHP, you should start with the PHP manual located on the PHP

website at http://php.net/manual/ .

.SH "PLATFORM-SPECIFIC"

The manual pages provided by the PHP distribution are installed in the directory

along with the PHP installation, which is dependent on the version of PHP

installed, for example, /usr/php/5.6/share/man .  You can view them with

man(1) by including this directory in the MANPATH environment variable.

.PP

The PHP packages included in Solaris contain many PHP extensions. In order to

use these extensions, you must enable them in a PHP configuration file. Starting

with PHP 5.6, Solaris provides a file "conf.d/extensions.ini" under the

appropriate /etc/php subdirectory. You may uncomment lines in this file to

enable the desired extensions.

.PP

To use PHP as an Apache web server module, you must configure Apache

appropriately. Starting with PHP 5.6, Solaris provides a sample supplemental

configuration file at /etc/apache2/2.4/samples-conf.d/php5.6.conf . To use it

without modification, copy it into /etc/apache2/2.4/conf.d/ .

.PP

The web/server/apache-22/module/apache-php53 package provides PHP 5.3 as a

server module for Apache 2.2. For PHP 5.6, an additional package is not

required; an Apache 2.4 server module is included in the web/php-56 package.

Apache 2.2 support is not provided with PHP 5.6 in Solaris.

.SH NOTES

.LP

PHP 5.2 may be removed in a future update.

.LP

Please migrate to a newer version.

Migration documentation is available on the PHP website:

.LP

.nf

http://php.net/manual/en/appendices.php

.fi

.LP

If it is desired to keep the obsolete version of PHP

then it should be frozen to prevent its removal by a future update.

.LP

.nf

pkg freeze 'web/php-52*' web/server/apache-22/module/apache-php52

pkg change-facet --no-backup-be 'version-lock\&.web/php-52*=False' \e

    version-lock\&.web/server/apache-22/module/apache-php52=False

.fi

.LP

Please note that the freezing of packages may yield

an unsupportable system so use with caution.

.LP

Before and after installing check or set the value of PHP's pkg

mediator to the default version desired:

.LP

.nf

pkg mediator

.fi

.LP

To set the default version of PHP change the pkg mediator value:

.LP

.nf

pkg set-mediator -V 5.3 php

.fi
