What is PHPRPMs?
PHPRPMs is a collection of RPM packages that add various PHP extensions
to the PHP that you have as a part of your RPM-based Linux Distribution
(Red Hat Enterprise Linux, CentOS, WhiteBox or Fedora Core). The advantages of this
approach are:
- you don't have to rebuild PHP from the source if you just need
one of the less-frequently used or non-GPL extensions;
- since you don't rebuild PHP, you get to keep your
"factory" PHP packages with all distro-specific patches and,
what's more important,
- you can continue to receive the standard updates for the
"factory" PHP packages via
RHN / up2date / yum
