Installing PHP5 on Ubuntu

Post by pilau »

Hi.
I'm using the Ubuntu distro and I want to enable php5 as local webserver so I can test my scripts.
In the Synaptic PM there's only php4 for install.. that's not good enough...

I downloaded the PHP5 source code and would like to know whther I need to install Apache in order to install THAT.
A little help on how to use the terminal to compile and install that package could do only good.

As I said, I am using Ubuntu distro and Gnome.

TIA.

What version of PHP does it encapsulate?

Just go to that site and take a look. There's both a PHP5 and a PHP4... you can alternate.
