phpize - please help or I'll cry

[Nicholas Brown]

Hey Y'all.

I currently have a build of php thats got a lot of "stuff" in it. (Arent I technical? :D)

Unfortuantly, stuff does not include GD and mcrypt and Ive been told I can use PHPIZE to add these in so I dont have to spend hours installing all of my "stuff" and recompiling it in (I dont have a few hours to do this :))

Anyone know if this is true and if yes, how? ;)

Cheers

If it was that would be absolutely fantastic for me - recompilation is a real pain on my dedicated server.
Please keep us informed if you find a solution Nicholas.

What phpize does (after much research) is create .so files which you can load dynamically from php.ini

So in a way, this works. But I prefer to have it all compiled directly into php - so I recompiled :D

I'm not quite at the level of expertise yet where I can just go and recompile LOL. I'm learning slowly though.
