How to compile PHP5 into Apache 2 statically?

Question

Is it possible to compile php5 (or really any php version) into the apache2 binary?

I'm not looking to install & load php as a shared module. What I'm trying to find out is whether or not it's even possible to compile php5 into apache2 statically.

Thanks a lot in advance!

Answer 1

yeah its not a problem, first ./configure and build php using:

--with-apache=../path/to/apache-2

then ./configure apache with:

--activate-module=src/modules/php5/libmodphp5.a \

From http://php.net/manual/en/configure.about.php:

--with-apache[=DIR]

Build a static Apache module. DIR is the top-level Apache build
directory, defaults to /usr/local/apache.
