The libphp5.so is the Apache module that links PHP into Apache. You need
this and PHP installed if you want to use PHP in Apache.

The module itself indicates what version of PHP Apache will be using.

Hi All,

In the situation if there are two PHP's installed on the Linux box.
How to know which PHP is used by Apache?

Another question is do Apache need PHP's binary to execute PHP Scripts? If
yes what is the role of libphp5.so in Apache?

Note: PHP is configured as module under Apache.

Appreciate your thoughts.

This may help:

phpinfo();
?>

First of all, libphp5.so is created during the php compilation process.
So it will use version of php with which it was compiled.

Also, I don't think php's binary is needed for execution of php scripts
is needed.

Running this page through Apache could do it:

phpinfo ();
?>

Teus.

I am still confused. As per Nilesh php's binary is not required and as per
Ashley it is required.
Which one is correct?
And I am not able to find which php's binary is used by using phpinfo().

Well, you can do a trial test. Compile a different version of php
without libphp5.so, and replace the php interpreter of libphp5.so with
this one.

If phpinfo() from apache shows you a different version then libphp5 uses
the binary else not.

As per common logic, libphp5 embeds the php interpreter into apache,
hence it'd not make sense to say that it needs the binary.

Pretty confident about all of them. Nilesh probably misunderstood,
or we are misunderstanding him. PHP has to have a binary file,
whether it's the CLI interpreter or the Apache "module".

Run a script with phpinfo() in it. Look for the line that says
"Server API". If this reads something like "Apache $N.$N Handler",
then the PHP interpreter binary is something like "libphp$n.so".
If the line reads "Command Line Interface", then you are using
something like /usr/bin/php, /usr/local/bin/php, etc. (I'm from
a BSD background, your $penguin_path may vary).

If you are talking about actually having two different versions
of PHP installed, and not sure which is actually being called,
you might find out something with the Linux equivalent of the
BSD `pkg_which`:

[31] Thu 01.Apr.2010 10:39:24
[admin@archangel][/usr/local/bin]
sudo pkg_which /usr/local/bin/php
php5-5.2.11

This command is highly dependent on your Linux distro: on
RH I think it's "rpm", "dpkg" on Debian, "urpmf" on Mandriva,
etc.

If you have two installations of the same version, $deity
help you :-)

HTH,

Re: How to know which PHP is used by Apache

libphp5.so doesn't need the php binary.

I've confirmed this using a test.

My local apache is configured to use libphp5.so

I moved /usr/bin/php to /root, then started apache and ran drupal. It
worked.

This confirms that libphp5.so is independent of the php binary in
/usr/bin as I suggested earlier.

You're right, and of course not. libphp5.so
*is* a "PHP binary" :-)

No one was questioning that .. or at least, I wasn't.
One is an executable binary file ... a program.

The other is also a binary file, but it's a _library_.

What I said was you need one or the other. "A" binary
file, either the Apache SO or the "binary" interpreter...

It's possible to configure Apache to use a PHP executable
(CGI), and the CGI and CLI executables are similar, if
not identical.

I dunno if anyone actually does that anymore, though. :-)

Ashley said "The libphp5.so is the Apache module that
links PHP into Apache. You need this and PHP installed
if you want to use PHP in Apache." Devendra apparently
misinterpreted this to mean that you need both the SO and
the binary interpreter, but you don't. You DO need the
rest of the PHP extensions, libraries, config files, etc.
... a "PHP installation", whether or not your have the
CLI binary is not that important, although I always do
since I like to run system scripts in PHP via cron, etc.

LOL. Super misunderstanding. Anyway, I did that test to help Devendra.
