Compile php-5.0.5.tar.gz

[gjm68]

have download the php-5.0.5.tar.gz file.

I believe I have to compile it in order to get the file libphp5.so into my apache server.

Is this correct?

How do I compile this file? Do I need software or can I do it via the command prompt?

If I can use the command prompt what commands do I need?

Many thanks

Insufficient data for a meaninful answer.

If you are attempting to compile and install PHP on a unix-like operating system, you will nearly certainly have the necessary c-language compiler available to you. If you are attempting to compile PHP on a Win32 OS, you will need to make arrangements to have a c-language compiler available.

Even if you are attempting the install on a unix-like operating system, we will need to know which unix-like operating system you are running.
