PHP re-configure

[Gil144]

Hi,

I would like to be able to re-configure PHP on my box without breaking Plesk. I would like to enable various features by adding them to the configure statement. For example if I where to install and complile PHP from source, I would add the following:
./configure --enable-bcmath.

I have Plesk 8, Fedora C4, PHP 5.0.4

Can this be done without breaking Plesk and how?

Thank you.

Why not just run a quick yum install php-bcmath?

Fantastic. It worked. Thank you.

I see that the file bcmath.ini was added to the "additional .ini files parsed". Is there a preformance hit when including modules this way?

Not with the shared modules no, were this built statically into php it would consume considerably more ram.
