The core package has been separated from the various modules, and each can be installed and removed independently from the others. The files you need can be found on your OpenBSD CD or on the FTP site. </P ><P > The main package you need to install is <TT CLASS="filename" >php4-core-4.2.3.tgz</TT >, which contains the basic engine (plus gettext and iconv). Next, take a look at the module packages, such as <TT CLASS="filename" >php4-mysql-4.2.3.tgz</TT > or <TT CLASS="filename" >php4-imap-4.2.3.tgz</TT >. You need to use the <B CLASS="command" >phpxs</B > command to activate and deactivate these modules in your <TT CLASS="filename" >php.ini</TT > file. </P ><TABLE WIDTH="100%" BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="0" CELLSPACING="0" CLASS="EXAMPLE" ><TR ><TD ><DIV CLASS="example" ><A NAME="install.openbsd.ports.example" ></A ><P ><B >Example 3-3.

However, this is only recommended for users familiar with OpenBSD. The PHP4 port is split into three sub-directories: core, extensions and pear. The extensions directory generates sub-packages for all of the supported PHP modules. If you find you do not want to create some of these modules, use the <B CLASS="command" >no_*</B > FLAVOR. For example, to skip building the imap module, set the FLAVOR to <B CLASS="command" >no_imap</B >. </P ></DIV ><DIV CLASS="sect2" ><H2 CLASS="sect2" ><A NAME="install.openbsd.older" ></A >Older Releases</H2 ><P > Older releases of OpenBSD used the FLAVORS system to compile up a statically linked PHP. Since it is hard to generate binary packages using this method, it is now deprecated. You can still use the old stable ports trees if you wish, but they are unsupported by the OpenBSD team. If you have any comments about this, the current maintainer for the port is <A HREF="mailto:avsm@openbsd.org" TARGET="_top" >Anil Madhavapeddy</A >. </P ></DIV ></DIV ><DIV CLASS="NAVFOOTER" ><HR ALIGN="LEFT" WIDTH="100%"><TABLE SUMMARY="Footer navigation table" WIDTH="100%" BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="0" CELLSPACING="0" ><TR ><TD WIDTH="33%" ALIGN="left" VALIGN="top" ><A HREF="install.macosx.html" ACCESSKEY="P" >Prev</A ></TD ><TD WIDTH="34%" ALIGN="center" VALIGN="top" ><A HREF="index.html" ACCESSKEY="H" >Home</A ></TD ><TD WIDTH="33%" ALIGN="right" VALIGN="top" ><A HREF="install.solaris.html" ACCESSKEY="N" >Next</A ></TD ></TR ><TR ><TD WIDTH="33%" ALIGN="left" VALIGN="top" >Unix/Mac OS X installs</TD ><TD WIDTH="34%" ALIGN="center" VALIGN="top" ><A HREF="installation.html" ACCESSKEY="U" >Up</A ></TD ><TD WIDTH="33%" ALIGN="right" VALIGN="top" >Unix/Solaris installs</TD ></TR ></TABLE ></DIV ></BODY ></HTML >
