On the SuSE 11 Enterprise Sever, the PHP5 sockets extension is not included for installation: it's not on the DVD. The sources are there and you can try to build, but then the build needs xml2-config--so you run into dependency chains. <br />
<br />
Before embarking on a large rebuild project, is there a simple way to get the sockets extension? I don't see it downloadable. What would you do? I'd like to stay with this version: 5.2.14 and I'd like to be able to do this with Yast versus building and installing separately, if possible.

SuSE Ent. 11 - PHP distribution is missing sockets extension - best way to get this?

PHP is a widely-used server-side scripting language especially suited for web development, powering tens of millions of sites from Facebook to personal WordPress blogs. PHP is often paired with the MySQL relational database, but includes support for most other mainstream databases. By utilizing different Server APIs, PHP can work on many different web servers as a server-side scripting language.

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux. Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.

Linux

A Linux distribution is an operating system made as a software collection based on the Linux kernel and, often, on a package management system and are available for a variety of systems. A typical Linux distribution comprises a Linux kernel, GNU tools and libraries, additional software, documentation, a window system (the most common being the X Window System), a window manager, and a desktop environment. Most Linux systems are open-source software made available both as compiled binaries and in source code form, allowing modifications to the original software. Over three hundred distributions are in active development, including commercially backed distributions (such as Fedora, openSUSE and Ubuntu) and community-driven distributions (such as Debian, Slackware, Gentoo and Arch Linux).
