Here are the packages for the recently released PHP 5.2.2:


Apache 1.3

Apache 2.x

Let me know how it works. I only tested the Apache 1.3 version, briefly.

The Apache 1.3 version works fine with all of my stuff. Thanks.

Seems to be working fine for me on 1.3. However, the GD Library image size limitation still exits.

All the best.

There's a bug in PHP 5.2.2 if anybody doesn't know and uses SOAP, $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA isn't set at all regardless of ini setting as of 5.2.2 (though supposedly had issues in previous versions but always worked for me)

it's fixed in snap shots, just wanted to warn anybody using SOAP
you can possibly fix it in 5.2.2 like this:

Hi Marc, firstly let me say thanks for all your work on the PHP packaging, it's a great help.

At work I've been tasked with figuring out how to use SOAP to make PHP talk to some other proprietary software we're using here. Unfortunately, your latest PHP release doesn't appear to include SOAP despite your passing the --enable-soap flag to ./configure and my modifying the /usr/local/php5/lib/php.ini file.

In my browser window I get no output and if I try from the command line I get the following:

First off, SOAP is not a DSO, it is baked into the main module statically. If you look at the phpinfo() page, you will see "SOAP enabled" message further down.

I suspect that you have a messed up config file. I never use the extension .dll, that must be a local installation issue.

[markjallan]

I do beg your pardon. It turns out that it was sort of working to begin with, but because of a bug in the original PHP source, I wasn't seeing anything in my browser. I then removed the semi-colon from the php.ini file thinking that I needed to turn SOAP on, and that's when things went downhill!

Here's a link to the original PHP bug which was tripping me up so that others can avoid it for the time being.

I have see in the PHP Info page of the precompiled package ( in the ./configure option section ) some things I can't understand:
'--with-gd' -- the path?
'--with-ldap' -- idem
'--with-xmlrpc' -- idem
'--with-imap=../imap-2004g' -- is right?
--with-freetype-dir=/usr/local/php5' -- using the X11 freetype from Apple?
'--with-fbsql=shared,/Users/liyanage/svn/entropy/universalbuild/src/FBDeveloperLibraries/Library/FrontBase' -- can be functional?

this string for the ./config option work all correctly?
I have some dubt because my gd library doesn't function properly, for example.
to remedy all, I must install from the binary distribution? correct?

thanks in advance for every support
