Where to place php libraries/extensions?
- by gdaniel
I am new to a lot of server configurations and options. I want to add extra php libraries/extensions to my server. Where do I add them? (I am on a CENTOS 6.5 VPS)
For example, I want to add the phpseclib php extension:
Their website instructions are minimum:
Usage This library is written using the same conventions that libraries in the PHP Extension and Application Repository (PEAR) used
to be written in (current requirements break PHP4 compatibility). In
particular, this library needs to be in your include_path:
<?php
set_include_path(get_include_path() . PATH_SEPARATOR . 'phpseclib');
include('Net/SSH2.php');
?>
It tells me how to use it, but it doesn't tell me where to add the actual extension files. Should I added it under?
usr/local/lib ?
usr/local/lib/php ?
usr/local/lib/php/pear ?
Or can I add it under public_html? Also, my VPS has several users under /home/.. is that away to make the library available for only one user?
