Yes, The HPWS package from HP is a solution, but I wanted to compile
the package by myself because I have several Unix flavors to manage and
I want them to have the same software versions, and to be able to
regenerate it when I want, instead of waiting for HP.
Another reason is that I have tried to get some help from HP, in order
to know how they compile their package, and it has proved to be
absolutely impossible to get any information. I don't like this kind of
behavior. As I discovered later when doing it by myself, because of
problems related to the HP-UX OS itself, they practically force most
users to depend on their package. It is not my view of Open SOurce
philosophy. As most of these big companies, they like to take, but not
to give...
So, I sent several days compiling a full Apache 2.0 + PHP 5.1.2
package, including every libraries they depend on. This package also
includes most Apache modules and PHP extensions (zlib, SSL, LDAP,
iconv, expat, xml, xslt, gd, png, Xpm, jpeg, freetype, bzip2, curl,
MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, AdoDB).
I have also written a complete howto document, describing how to build
everything from scratch, from the place to get the source packages, to
the way to check that everything works OK. This document is available
at :
http://flaupretre.free.fr/redir.php?key=build_apa_hpux
I am ready to write a 1 or 2 page resume of the document for the PHP
documentation page (the full document is about 13 page long), with a
link to the full document, for instance.
Tell me what you think about it.

I believe the best method for installing PHP (and Apache) is to go
here:
http://www.software.hp.com/
And install one of the found packages. Searching for PHP yields several
packages, for example:
HP-UX Apache-based Web Server v.2.11 powered by Apache, Tomcat, Webmin
We should most likely remove all current documentation and simply
mention how to install one of these packages. Well, at least until
someone who knows HP-UX can add additional information.

wk at mailstation dot de, can you please write some notes for current
version or at least point us to sources you used? Everlasting honor
will be yours :-).

I have installed PHP 4.x and 5.x on HP-UX 10.xx and 11.xx.
a) The documentation *is* outdated and even wrong (e. g., you *can*
build PHP as a shared module on HP-UX). The reference to an unspecified
Apache page is misleading even.
b) No, take it out completely. Having nothing about HP-UX is better
than that stuff.
c) is therefor irrelevant.

The documentation itself needs an update, the file in question:
phpdoc/en/chapters/install.hpux.xml
A few points:
a) The documentation was written for PHP 4.0.4 so maybe
it's outdated? It at least looks outdated.
b) It's time we move it from email format to doc format
c) The links themselves are dead and should be presented
in a more flexible way. Instead of linking to specific
versions, how about refer to the needed libraries plus
a generic link, such as:
http://hpux.connect.org.uk/ftp/hpux/Gnu/
So until someone knows (not guesses) the answer to (a), implements (b),
and (c), this report should remain open.
