I've installed ffmpeg successfully using the ffmpeginstaller 3 series (http://www.ffmpeginstaller.com/download). ffmpeg is working fine without any known issues with bash.

The ffmpeginstaller is meant to install ffmpeg-php but it cannot be found and I receive an error when I execute php -v

PHP Warning:  PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 
'/usr/lib64/php/modules/ffmpeg.so' - /usr/lib64/php/modules/ffmpeg.so: 
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0

Looking at the '/usr/lib64/php/modules/' folder, it doesn't contain the ffmpeg.so file. I've tried to install ffmpeg-php manually but I receive the following error

checking for ffmpeg headers... configure: error: ffmpeg headers not found. 
Make sure you've built ffmpeg as shared libs using the --enable-shared option

Should I install ffmpeg with series 4 or 5 of ffmpeginstaller or does someone know how to fix this issue?

Thanks in advance !
