php set up under linux

[Athreya]

I am software developer. I have developed software on windows. Nowadays I am learning some basics of it on operating system Linux Mint 9 KDE. Now if I wish to load PHP modules, in php.ini file then on windows I just set “extension=php_bz2.dll” for example previously, I set the extensions directory like "extension_dir = "/ext”. But in Linux I don’t Know exact place. Where php installation takes place? What is the directory? Where all modules are located. Is there anybody who knows the exact place.

I search at lot of places on Google. From which I come to know that all over the place. Consider /usr/share/lib/php or was it / usr/share/php/lib. They are common. The command given below will definitely helps you to find what you want.

Command:-> sudo find / -name "php" 2>/dev/null

this command will search for you, using the find function as:-

• [/] - from the root location "/"
• [-name "php"] - matching the name of the requested folder "php"
• [2>/dev/null] - and removing errors from those /proc files not being there

I search all over the Google and with the help of reference guide from their official side I checked my LAMP which is nothing but a bundle of software. I found that php4 modules are located at:-

/usr/lib/php5/<id #>/

I am definitely sure that you can place your php modules which can be used by you for programming purpose.
