As I switched my main system recently from Linux to OpenSolaris I compiled PHP. Quiet obvious things are a little bit different on Solaris. The usual ./buildconf && ./configure && make install doesn't work anymore. The good news: It's not much harder.

A few extra packages are required (like SUNWgmake, SUNWgcc and SUNWbison) and the Re2c library, but after that, it's just like a normal install. All commands needed to make the build are included in the post.

The symfony group wants you to vote for them if you're a fan of the framework and want to see the support included.

NetBeans, the open-source development environment sponsored by Sun, is planning to include support for PHP frameworks in its upcoming versions. As there are so many PHP frameworks, NetBeans developers have organized a public election to choose the two PHP frameworks that will be initially supported.

Instructions on how to vote are included (you will need to register to get to the voting form).

Cal Evans has put together a list of some of the PHP bloggers/community memembers that have posted some of their thoughts on the purchase.

With all of the buzz floating around yesterday on this topic, I decided to let some of the dust settle before posting. From everything I've seen, the PHP community is largely positive about the news. [...] As I said, the community at large seems to be pleased with this news. Here are the links I've collected so far.

Names in the list include Andi Gutmans, Lukas Smith and Jaremy Zawodny. There's also a list of some comments from the "pundits" as to what this purchase could mean for the web as a whole.

un Java System Web Server is a mature, highly scalable, and secure web server that provides process redundancy, request scalability, and a wide range of application programming interfaces (APIs) to create and serve dynamic content. This document describes how to install and use PHP with Sun Java System Web Server (hereafter Web Server).

The tutorial is divided up into seven sections (including some reference material):

  • Understanding PHP and Web Server
  • Running the PHP Engine
  • Installing the PHP Engine as a CGI Program
  • Installing the PHP Engine as a FastCGI Server
  • Installing the PHP Engine as an NSAPI Plugin
  • Conclusion
  • References
For each, there's plenty of code/configuration options to help clarify what needs to be set up no matter if you need the CGI version, FastCGI, or the NSAPI plugin up and running.
