  • 772

I am having issues in compiling the PHP 5.3.29 on Ubuntu 16.04

My question: Say if I compile PHP on earlier version of ubuntu and copy it over to Ubuntu 16.04. Will it work as expected or it will fail?

  1. I use ubuntu 16.04, and all work's fine. Here example how install php5.x.x link

    Pre-requisites

    You will need these two extra packages if you don't have them:

    sudo apt-get install build-essential libxml2-dev

    Install PHP

    In terminal:

    wget http://in1.php.net/distributions/php-5.3.29.tar.bz2
tar -xvf php-5.3.29.tar.bz2
cd php-5.3.29
./configure
make
make test # Neither mandatory nor a bad idea.
sudo make install

    The instructions will untar the source build and they will install php in your system.
