PHP configuration/de

PHP ist ein Web-Vorlagen-System, das zufällig zu einer ziemlich vollständigen Programmiersprache herangewachsen ist. PHPs Syntax, Fähigkeiten und seine Ausführungsmodell haben Ähnlichkeiten mit Perl: Skripte werden von einem Interpreter geladen, in Bytecode übersetzt und dann ausgeführt. Der PHP-Interpreter kann aus einer Befehlszeile, über CGI, oder - am häufigsten - prozessintern als Apachemodul gestartet werden.

MediWiki-Kompatibilität
Um die Liste von möglichen PHP-Versionen, die du mit deiner Version von MediaWiki verwenden kannst, anzuzeigen, klicke hier.

Installation
Bitte lies http://php.net/install.

Voraussetzungen
Die folgenden Erweiterungen werden von MediaWiki benötigt:
 * Perl Compatible Regular Expressions
 * Session
 * Standard PHP Library
 * Document Object Module
 * iconv character set conversion library
 * JSON (alternatively, the pecl-json-c fork)
 * Wenigstens ein Datenbanktreiber:
 * MySQL
 * PostgreSQL
 * SQLite (through PDO)
 * MySQLi, MySQL und PostgreSQL über PDO werden nicht unterstützt

Perl-kompatible reguläre Ausdrücke, Sitzungen, die Standard-PHP-Bibliothek und JSON sind von Anfang an aktiviert; Perl-kompatible reguläre Ausdrücke und die Standard-PHP-Bibliothek können ab PHP 5.3 nicht mehr deaktiviert werden.

Optionales
MediWiki braucht eine bestimmte Menge optionaler Funktionen von PHP, die zur Übersetzungszeit aktiviert sein müssen:
 * mbstring multibyte character string support (optional; slower custom code will be used if not available)
 * zlib compression library, optionally to compress the file cache
 * sockets support for network communication, if using memcached
 * dba DBM-style database abstraction layer, for caching, with the following handlers:
 * CDB for interwiki cache (and maybe some other things)
 * Berkely DB3 if you want to use CACHE_DBA in either,  or
 * FastStringSearch

Beispiel
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 : this is required if you want to build mod_php. APXS is for configuring compilation of an Apache module. You will need to change (or omit the path) for your specific system.
 * --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 Manual:Cache

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


 * register_globals
 * Enabling this is a major security risk and can be used for XSS attacks; MediaWiki doesn't require it, so please turn it off if you can!


 * safe_mode
 * Safe mode is an ill-conceived, broken-by-design setting in PHP; MediaWiki can work with this option on, but some features won't work.


 * 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

Image Resizing
ImageMagick can be used for image resizing When it is not available the GD PHP module is used instead where found.
