💖 php-config(1) — the manual page, but make it cute 💖

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

php-config [options]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so like, php-config is a simple shell script — yes, just a shell script, she's lowkey humble — and her whole job is getting you information about the installed PHP configuration</> on your system. that's it. that's the vibe. 💅

👑 OPTIONS 👑

one bullet per flag, no skips, no skimming, we respect every single one:

  • --prefix — the directory prefix where PHP is installed, like /usr/local
  • --includes — list of -I options with all the include files
  • --ldflags — the LD flags PHP was compiled with
  • --libs — extra libraries PHP was compiled with
  • --man-dir — the directory prefix where the manpages are installed
  • --extension-dir — the directory where extensions get searched by default
  • --include-dir — the directory prefix where header files are installed by default
  • --php-binary — full path to the php CLI or CGI binary
  • --php-sapis — show all the SAPI modules installed on the Debian system
  • --configure-options — configure options to recreate the configuration of the current PHP installation (iykyk, this one is a lifesaver)
