On Installing PHP

PHP 5.6.4+ is needed mainly for running phpUnit tests. It is downloadable at:

 http://us2.php.net/get/php-5.6.4.tar.gz/from/this/mirror

This is my configuration for compiling PHP 5.6.4, with mbstring enabled:

./configure --with-mysql --with-mysqli --with-pdo-mysql --with-curl --with-gd
--with-zlib --with-jpeg-dir=/usr/lib/ --with-openssl --with-mcrypt
--with-libdir=/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu --enable-mbstring
