Is it possible to disable the xml support when installing php5 with this script?

My problem is my server is on RedHat 7.3, and it cannot install libxml2-2.5.10 because there is no supported glibc_2.3 package.

I don't really need xml support, so if it could be disabled somehow, I think it would work.

Thanks

petert, this is a template that works. An admin who knows enough to want to install php as a module should know how to tweak the above template to his wishes.

This is all about the gci version of php. No use at all for people who use php as a module in Apache

To "Iain Shortreed": we have compiled the PHP5 along PHP4 on numerous Linux systems and they works OK. We did installed it on CentOS 4 as well. We do use our own script with several more tricks and own configure line and are ready to install PHP5 with any version of PHP4 (cgi or mod_php) for a little fee. Contact me for more details.

I tried to run this on a cPanel server with CentOS 3.4 however had many problems. Tried editting it up but still had many problems and it wouldn't install. Do you offer any support on this?

Hi, are you saving the new files with a *.php5 extension? If you still save it as *.php then you're invoking PHP 4.xx and there are several functions that're only supported in PHP 5. I think file_get_contents() is one of them.
