A listing of available PHP configuration options

Having browsed the net for a while, I've found that searching for a list of all the params available to add in the ./configure directive set when you make (compile) PHP is very hard to find since it will get you a lot of answers on how to use ini_set() and how to manipulate the php.ini file.

What I'm after - and it's probably available on the php.net site (which btw is one of the hardest sites to wrap your head around, navigation wise) - is a list / overview of what params are available and what they mean / do.

Just to avoid ambiguity开发者_如何学Python, the params I mean are the ones used in a "configure" statement like so: (in PHP source folder) ./configure --enable-fpm --with-mysql --with-mysqli --with-gd etc etc etc.

Thanks.

I haven't compiled PHP in awhile, but I thought there was either a -h argument or a README provided with the PHP source that listed and explained the available arguments for configure.

Edit:
This should get you a complete list of the available arguments

./configure --help

Any configure script will print out its options when called with the --help parameter:

panther-g php-5.2.11 # ./configure --help

`configure' configures this package to adapt to many kinds of systems.

Usage: ./configure [OPTION]... [VAR=VALUE]...

To assign environment variables (e.g., CC, CFLAGS...),
specify them as VAR=VALUE. See below for descriptions of
some of the useful variables.

Defaults for the options are specified in brackets.

Configuration:
-h, --help              display this help and exit
--help=short            display options specific to this package ...
