Best way to install PHP - Your suggestions?

Post by clickbuild »

I'm just setting up a new server and installed php5 from ports (freebsd). The default php config is pretty basic but enhanced by adding extensions.

I must admit, I like the idea of not having to rebuild PHP when I want to add a feature - most of which seem to be available as extensions (.so).

So, better to build with all the features in the php config or better to build a basic PHP install and add features via extensions (which can be easily added via portinstall and removed by commenting out.)

Anyone care to venture an opinion?
