When PHP is configured, you are ready to build the CGI executable or the PHP library. The command
make should take care of this. If it fails and you can’t figure out why, see the Problems section.

Testing
If you have built PHP as a CGI program, you may test your build by typing make test. It is always a
good idea to test your build. This way you may catch a problem with PHP on your platform early instead
of having to struggle with it later.
Benchmarking
If you have built PHP as a CGI program, you may benchmark your build by typing make bench. Note
that if safe mode is on by default, the benchmark may not be able to finish if it takes longer then the 30
seconds allowed. This is because the set_time_limit can not be used in safe mode. Use the
max_execution_time to control this time for you own scripts. make bench ignores the configuration file.
instalations on Windows 95/98/NT systems
This install guide will help you install and configure PHP on your Windows 9x/NT webservers. This
guide was compiled by Bob Silva (mailto:bob_silva@mail.umesd.k12.or.us). The latest revision can be
found at http://www.umesd.k12.or.us/php/win32install.html.
This guide provides instalations support for:
• Personal Web Server (Newest version recommended)
• Internet Information Server 3 or 4
• Apache 1.3.x
• Omni HTTPd 2.0b1
Configuration Changes for PHP
All modules are now prefixed with ’php3_’. You will need to change your php3.ini file and/or any scripts
loading extensions with the dl function (or you could always remove the ’php3_’ prefix). This will
prevent confusion between php modules and their supporting libraries.
