Hi,

I am using CentOS (Amazon Linux) and XAMPP 1.7.7 and would like to compile a new version of PHP. The reason is I would like like to add the HTML Tidy library extension and the Suhosin security patch. I've downloaded the 5.3.10 version of PHP and the Development version of XAMPP.

Thanks.

A. - "How to compile a new PHP version in XAMPP" - you probably can't. Reason - read this -
viewtopic.php?f=17&t=39263

B. - Look on the beta page:

Good Luck

JonB: Thanks for your response. It looks like I just may have to install the AMP components separately to be able to compile PHP

That is pretty much the case.

XAMPP is intended to be 'it works as it is', and recompiling and fixing is a bigger task that installing standalone nowadays.

You do know that PHP 5.3.10 is part of the current Beta LAMPP, right??
