<question>
<para>Where can I obtain PHP?</para>
</question>
<answer>
<para>
You can download PHP from any of the members of the
PHP network of sites. These can be found at
<link xlink:href="&url.php;">&url.php;</link>.
You can also use anonymous SVN to get the absolute latest
version of the source. For more information, go to
<link xlink:href="&url.php.anonsvn;">&url.php.anonsvn;</link>.

<question>
<para>Are pre-compiled binary versions available?</para>
</question>
<answer>
<para>
We only distribute precompiled binaries for Windows systems,
as we are not able to compile PHP for every major Linux/Unix
platform with every extension combination. Also note, that
many Linux distributions come with PHP built in these days.
Windows binaries can be downloaded from our <link
xlink:href="&url.php.downloads;">Downloads</link> page, for Linux
binaries, please visit your distribution's website.

Where can I get libraries needed to compile some of

</para>
</question>
<answer>
<para>
<note>
<simpara>
Those marked with * are not thread-safe libraries, and
should not be used with PHP as a server module in the multi-threaded
Windows web servers (IIS, Netscape). This does not matter in Unix
environments, yet.

<qandaentry xml:id="faq.obtaining.how">
<question>
<para>How do I get these libraries to work?</para>
</question>
<answer>
<para>
You will need to follow instructions provided with the library. Some of
these libraries are detected automatically when you run the 'configure'
script of PHP (such as the GD library), and others you will have to
enable using '<literal>--with-EXTENSION</literal>' options to
'<literal>configure</literal>'. Run
'<literal>configure --help</literal>' for a listing of these.
