PHP, or Hypertext Preprocessor, is a widely utilized, open-source server-side scripting language specifically designed for web development to create dynamic web pages. It can be embedded into HTML and is commonly associated with file extensions such as .php, .php4, or .php5. However, PHP is not included in a minimal installation of Fedora 16, necessitating manual installation.<\/p>\n

This guide will walk you through the process of installing PHP on a Fedora 16 server. This tutorial assumes that you have set up a local yum repository using your DVDROM and have installed the minimal installation type of Fedora 16.<\/p>\n

Installing PHP on Fedora 16<\/h2>\n

To install PHP on Fedora 16, you will need to run the yum command. This will install the basic PHP package, which includes php-cli and php-common. Here is the command you need to run:<\/p>\n

\r\n[root@fedora16 ~]# yum install php -y\r\n<\/pre>\n
Upon running this command, the system will begin the installation process. It will resolve any dependencies and run a transaction check. The system will then install the PHP package, along with any necessary dependencies.<\/p>\n
The installation process will look something like this:<\/p>\n
\r\nSetting up Install Process\r\nResolving Dependencies\r\n--> Running transaction check\r\n---> Package php.i686 0:5.3.10-1.fc16 will be installed\r\n--> Processing Dependency: php-common(x86-32) = 5.3.10-1.fc16 for package: php-5.3.10-1.fc16.i686\r\n--> Processing Dependency: php-cli(x86-32) = 5.3.10-1.fc16 for package: php-5.3.10-1.fc16.i686\r\n--> Running transaction check\r\n---> Package php-cli.i686 0:5.3.10-1.fc16 will be installed\r\n--> Processing Dependency: libedit.so.0 for package: php-cli-5.3.10-1.fc16.i686\r\n---> Package php-common.i686 0:5.3.10-1.fc16 will be installed\r\n--> Running transaction check\r\n---> Package libedit.i686 0:3.0-4.20110227cvs.fc16 will be installed\r\n--> Finished Dependency Resolution\r\n\r\nDependencies Resolved\r\n\r\n====================================================================================================\r\n Package            Arch         Version                          Repository                   Size\r\n====================================================================================================\r\nInstalling:\r\n php                i686         5.3.10-1.fc16                    updates                     2.3 M\r\nInstalling for dependencies:\r\n libedit            i686         3.0-4.20110227cvs.fc16           Fedora16-Repository          85 k\r\n php-cli            i686         5.3.10-1.fc16                    updates                     2.2 M\r\n php-common         i686         5.3.10-1.fc16                    updates                     501 k\r\n\r\nTransaction Summary\r\n====================================================================================================\r\nInstall       4 Packages\r\n\r\nTotal download size: 5.1 M\r\nInstalled size: 16 M\r\n<\/pre>\n
Once the dependencies are resolved, the system will install the PHP package and its dependencies. The total download size will be around 5.1 MB, and the installed size will be around 16 MB.<\/p>\n
The installation process will continue as follows:<\/p>\n
