iPhone / ipad php端口的php扩展

Question

i'm installing my web service in my iPad through lighttpd/php from cydia but it seems that php comes without extensions.

To get my webserice working locally I need "php_mbstring" extensions.

Is there any site to download php extensions compatible with this version of php (5.2.8) in ios darwin?

Answer 1

If you would like use a already built PHP 5.4.x Cydia package with following extensions:
fast-cgi, pdo_mysql, mysql, mysqli, mysqlnd, pdo_sqlite, sqlite3, gd (gif, png, bmp, xbm, tiff, jpeg and FreeType2), mbstring, exif, dom, xml2, xmlreader, xmlwriter, xslt, json, pcre, phar, calendar, reflection, session, zlib, zip, bz2, mcrypt, openssl and soap,
please have a look at:
http://code.google.com/p/cydia-ios-lighttpd-php-mysql-web-stack/wiki/PHP and/or http://iOS-WebStack.tk

If you would like compile your own iOS PHP 5.4.x, please have a look at:
http://code.google.com/p/cydia-ios-lighttpd-php-mysql-web-stack/wiki/Main

There you will find a description to install/create an iOS SDK 3.0 Linux Cross Compiling System.

You'll need to compile PHP with the extensions for the ARM processor. Rather than installing the dev tools on the iPad, I'd cross compile from your normal box as it will be quicker. I'd be surprised if you could find PHP with them as a binary, as most servers don't run on ARM.
