Installing PHP and SQLite

written by Sergio Tanzilli

PHP is a widely-used general-purpose scripting language that is especially suited for Web development and can be embedded into HTML.

SQLite is a small C library that implements a self-contained, embeddable, zero-configuration SQL database engine.

Configuration steps

Go to the SDK root folder the type:

# make menuconfig

Select your FOX Board model and enable the PHP support from this menu:

Applications -->
  Applications -->
    [*] Enable PHP 5.0.5

Save, exit and type:

# ./configure
...
# make
...

After a while flash your FOX Board (see How to reflash a FOX Board) and see an example of php page on http://192.168.0.90.

To test PHP you can use this simple PHP script:

	phpinfo.php
<? phpinfo(); ?>

Copy it on FOX Board into /mnt/flash/root (your DocumentRoot) and add the execution flag typing:

# chmod +x phpinfo.php

Now run it from your browser using this URL http://192.168.0.90/phpinfo.php

Web page generated with phpinfo()

This example works starting from FOX Board SDK version 205. Update your SDK with ./sdk_update command.
