PHP configuration/nl

PHP is een veel gebruikte scripttaal voor het maken op webservers van dynamische webpagina's. PHP's syntaxis, mogelijkheden en wijze van uitvoering lijken op Perl; scripts worden geladen door een "interpreter", gecompileerd naar bytecode en daarna uitgevoerd. De PHP interpreter kan worden uitgevoerd via de commando-regel, als CGI, maar wordt eigenlijk altijd als proces uitgevoerd, meestal als Apache module.

MediaWiki compatibiliteit
Bekijk de lijst Compatibility#PHP om te zien welke PHP-versies gebruikt kunnen worden bij uw versie van de MediaWiki.

Installatie
Lees https://php.net/install.

Verplicht
Voor MediaWiki zijn de volgende extensies verplicht:
 * Perl Compatibel Reguliere expressies
 * Sessie
 * Standaard PHP-bibliotheek
 * Document Object Module
 * iconv karakterset conversie bibliotheek
 * JSON (alternatively, the pecl-json-c fork)
 * mbstring multibyte character string support
 * fileinfo MIME type detection
 * intl Unicode normalization
 * calendar Support for conversion between different calendars
 * At least one database driver:
 * MySQL
 * PostgreSQL
 * SQLite (through PDO)

MySQL and PostgreSQL through PDO are not supported

Perl Compatible Regular Expressions, Session, Standard PHP Library, and JSON are enabled by default; Perl Compatible Regular Expressions and Standard PHP Library cannot be disabled since PHP 5.3.

Optioneel
MediaWiki either needs or wants a number of optional features of PHP that need to be enabled at compile time:


 * zlib compression library, optionally to compress the file cache
 * sockets support for network communication, if using memcached

Voorbeeld
We are successfully working with these compiler options:

 './configure' \ '--with-mysql' \ '--with-apxs2=/usr/sbin/apxs2' \ '--with-zlib' \ '--with-ldap' \ '--with-gd' \ '--with-jpeg-dir' \ '--with-iconv-dir' \ '--enable-mbstring' In detail, these configure options do the following:


 * --with-mysql : Allows PHP to query MySQL. This is an essential feature (I think). You will need to have MySQL installed to enable this option.
 * --with-apxs2=/usr/sbin/apxs2 : dit is verplicht als u mod_php wilt builden. APXS is voor het configureren van het compileren van een Apache module. U moet het pad voor uw systeem mogelijk aanpassen of verwijderen.
 * --with-zlib : Allows PHP to read / write zipped files and send compressed data to Apache ... or something like that
 * --with-ldap : Important if you want your wiki users to be verified by LDAP
 * --with-gd : Use this if you want image processing 'within' PHP, else you can use ImageMagick. Because this option requires that you have various libraries installed... but presumably IM has the same deps... oh well...
 * --with-jpeg-dir : Seems nonsensical
 * --with-iconv-dir : Seems nonsensical
 * --enable-mbstring : Allows multibyte character string support. This is optional, as slower custom code will be used if not available.

Opcode caching

 * See

Due to MediaWiki's large codebase, it is highly recommended that a system be used to cache the compiled scripts; there are a number of such plugins for PHP, some free, some proprietary. There is a list of some caches:


 * Alternative PHP Cache -- used at Wikimedia
 * Windows Cache Extension for PHP -- recommended for IIS users

Fortunately, these all seem to be easy to install as Zend plugins, you just drop in a library and change your php.ini. No fussy recompiling of the entire PHP!

Depending on the cache and options used, you may have to perform a special operation whenever updating script files.

MediaWiki can also interact with that caches and use them for object caching, see.

Runtime configuratie (php.ini)
Some settings in php.ini affects MediaWiki behavior and some of them are incompatible with MediaWiki.


 * magic_quotes_gpc
 * This options adds quotes to data in,   and  . MediaWiki can work with this option turned on, but will have to remove these quotes and thus will be slower.


 * magic_quotes_runtime
 * This option corrupts data input unpredictably by adding quotes in e.g. opened files, data received from database etc. MediaWiki will refuse to install if this option is turned on.


 * magic_quotes_sybase
 * same as magic_quotes_runtime


 * mbstring.func_overload
 * This option causes errors and may corrupt data unpredictably; MediaWiki will refuse to install if this option is turned on.


 * zend.ze1_compatibility_mode
 * This option causes horrible bugs; MediaWiki will refuse to install if this option is turned on.


 * memory_limit
 * MediaWiki needs sufficiently memory to work. The minimal limit should be something like 20 MB, but if you want MediaWiki to work correctly, consider using at least 50 MB.


 * disable_functions
 * To be able to find GNU diff3 and git during installation process this entry must not contain passthru


 * post_max_size
 * If you are getting the error "" then it could be because this is set with a "MB" prefix, instead of just "M" (the former is interpreted at bytes, not megabytes).

ImageMagick or the GD PHP module can be used for image thumbnailing. See Manual:Image administration
