PHP installation configuration options...

Hey guys, does anyone know what are the standard, common PHP extensions that should be enabled when configuring a new php installation? I need ldap so I know I should include that, but what do most LAMP servers configure with their PHP installs?

Depends on your needs... I don't know that there is a "standard" config. I usually start with the default, then add/remove things as needed.

If you know an rpm OS like CentOS 5.4 or Fedora,
it's a good idea to have a look into the file php.spec,
they use seventy ( 70 ! ) configure options to build
the default packages.
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pu...6.fc12.src.rpm
> > php-5.3.0-6.fc12.src.rpm = source code + build scripts.

The package can be uncompressed with :
rpm2cpio php-5.3.0-6.fc12.src.rpm | cpio -idmv
.....
