PHP and FMP

Get FM_API_for_PHP_Standalone from within the FM server download. Use the trial if necessary.

Expand it and copy it into /usr/local/php/fmp. Make the parent directories as needed

Copy /etc/php.ini.default to/etc/php.ini

Edit php.ini. Uncomment and modify include_path = ".:/usr/local/php/includes"

I set up eclipse by copying the features and plugins after downloading from http://www.eclipse.org/pdt/downloads/ I couldn't get the update site to work (mysterious errors.) Finally, after messing with it for ages, I concluded that Eclipse PDT doesn't work with Ganymede. I now use PHPEclipse.

For debugging, we need xdebug. Oopsie. Must install pear to get pecl to get xdebug.

So,

curl http://pear.php.net/go-pear > go-pear.php
sudo php -q go-pear.php

Let the script update php.ini. And don't forget to update PATH like the script told you to.

Then it's

sudo pecl install xdebug

And do NOT do what it says (You should add "extension=xdebug.so" to php.ini")

Instead, add this:

[xdebug]
zend_extension=/usr/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20060613/xdebug.so

Then confirm that it's working by doing php -mxdebug will show up both under [PHP Modules] and [Zend Modules]

Get phpUnit installed. See Sebastian Bergmann's site: http://www.phpunit.de/manual/3.4/en/installation.html

sudo pear channel-discover pear.phpunit.de
sudo pear install phpunit/PHPUnit
