If you read the beginning of each (mostly each) chapter you'll see what the requirements are for using the functions covered in that chapter. The requirements are broadly: 1) Builtin, ie there's nothing special you need to do to get that functionality. 2) Provided by a library bundled with php (ie included with the php tarball). To use these, you usually need to configure with something like "--enable-XXX". 3) Provided by an external library. This requires that you install the required library from other sources -- it is not provided with php. To use these you usually need to configure with something like "--with-XXX=/some/directory". > because when i serach the > rmps i found many packeges like php-imap / php-mssql /php-devel / php-mysql > / php-ldap /php-odbc...

There must be loads of tutorials that covers installation. Try "LAMP". > what exactly the php source code has packeges ??? Probably more than you need. Just decide what functionality you need, look it up in the manual and see what the requirements are. -- Jason Wong -> Gremlins Associates -> www.gremlins.biz Open Source Software Systems Integrators * Web Design & Hosting * Internet & Intranet Applications Development * ------------------------------------------ Search the list archives before you post http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-general ------------------------------------------ /* If it's stupid but it works, it isn't stupid -- Murphy's Military Laws n36 */ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
