PHP modules installation

[nathan]

Hi i'm really new to DA and to fedora core3 (my server use both ) too.
I've looked around about info about installing particular php module and still don't find any way to do this .
Some of my php scripts use sqlite or ming under php 4.3.x.
if i use yum to install sqlite, it propose me to install php,apache ...as if they wasn't installed.
'rpm -qa | grep php' or 'rpm -qa | grep httpd' give nothing too.
So my questions:
- Where can i find additional info on how DA interact with apache and php.
- What is the 'good' way to install ming, sqlite or any other php-module without breaking DA.

thanks in advance
nathan

This may be of help: http://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=23

To give a quick run through, you would install your module, then include it in PHP's configuration and rebuild.

have already read this before thanks at all.
But this doesn't work with : with-ming or with-sqlite perhaps i'm doing this in a wrong way.
I'succeed in getting a php_ming.so to compile from cvs and this work, sqlite seems to install from pear but i've not tested it yet it apprently install i'll try this night.
I still have interest in having a general how-to install additional php-modules that can be used for any module even if they're non 'common'.
thank's for your reply i'll continue my investigations.

That tutorial is about as general as they can come.
Best way is to read the installation instructions of the program in question, usually they tell you exactly what to put in the configuration of the primary application before compiling as well as the order in which things need to be done.
