OpenBSD 5.2 - Installing PHP 5.3.14

As always we will installing PHP from the package system using pkg_add magic.

Currently the latest PHP version for OpenBSD 5.2 is 5.3.14 which I think is ok for any web application out there.

Let r0ck!

/* Installing PHP

#pkg_add -i php
Ambiguous: choose package for php
 a       0:
         1: php-5.2.17p12
         2: php-5.3.14p1
Your choice: 2

Everything will be install except extension that you might want to install later.

The PHP binary will be install in /usr/local/bin/php-5.3

If you don't like to use php-5.3 you can simply create a symbolic link with any name that you want like just a php only without 5.3 thingy.

/* Installing additional PHP extension.

You can browse the pre compiled package at

(Mirror example)
ftp://ftp.jaist.ac.jp/pub/OpenBSD/5.2/packages/i386/

Let's say we want to install GD library

#pkg_add php-gd-5.3.14p0

Create a symbolic link

ln -sf /etc/php-5.3.sample/gd.ini /etc/php-5.3/gd.ini

View the install extension

#php-5.3 -m

Done :)
