How to install PHP pthreads in cpanel?

Question

I'm trying to use threads in PHP, so I need to install pthreads. It would be nice if EasyApache would have an option for pthreads. But I couldn't find it, so I tried installing it with the pecl command:

pecl install pthreads

But nothing happened.

Can anyone help me? Has anyone got pthreads working with cpanel?

HOW TO INSTALL IN LINUX SYSTEM'S: C panel With proper rights You can use commands using putty using SSH Shell

1) Download PHP sources and Unpack PHP

2) Download PEAR

       wget http://pear.php.net/go-pear.phar
       php go-pear.phar

3) Download pthreads Get PECL extension (PECL is a repository for PHP Extensions)

          # pecl install pthread-0.4.4

4) Unpack pthreads copy pthread-0.4.4 to php/ext

    (for ./configure allow  add option --enable-pthreads)

    # mv build/php-src-master/ext/pthreads-master    build/php-src-master/ext/pthreads

5) Reconfigure sources

       # ./buildconf --force
       # ./configure --help | grep pthreads

You should see the appropriate --enable-pthreads option listed as a result, if you do not, then

       # rm -rf aclocal.m4
       # rm -rf autom4te.cache/
       # ./buildconf --force

6) Build PHP Compile PHP source code Add:

      # ./configure --enable-debug --enable-maintainer-zts --enable-pthreads

7) Installing PHP

     # make
     # sudo make install

8) Update php.ini

     Add in php.ini
     extension=pthreads.so
     Include_path = “/usr/local/lib/php”

9) Check Modules php -m (check pthread loaded)

10) Test Thread Class # php SimpleTest.php

And specially if you have not WHM or any root access then best way is to ask your host provider to install any package for you, If it is not harmful for server or consume resources then they will surly install it for you.

Check PHP PEAR Packages from your Control panel. and search for available packages. PHP Extension(s) and Application(s) Available for Installation
