Is there a minimal php5ts.dll?

  • 772

I've completed my web app and am using mongoose to serve the php pages. The whole app & mongoose is less then 2MB.

The php5ts.dll is almost 5MB so that really adds bloat. Also, my app is very minimal so I don't need many of the php features, ie. mysql & crypto.

Is there a minimal php5ts.dll out there? Or can I build it from the source code without too much work?

    Sure you can recompile. Use './configure' keys (or how is it in windows, maybe, Makefile?) to add/remove functionality you need, consult the manual for the exact module directives for sets of functions.

    You may Google for a pre-compiled library, but it's always better to recompile it so it meets your needs, shrinks in size and overall - fits better ;)

    Also consider using packers like UPX: 

    php5ts.dll: 1290 kB (62% compression)
    (found here: Compiling PHP with no extra weight via Googling for "UPX php5ts.dll" )

    And yes, it suits StackOverflow better :) Cheers!
