Changelog (5.0.0) This is the first version dedicated for use with PHP5 and contains a migrated version of the 4.1.3-release.
Setting it up - step by step
Prerequisite: You need to download and install the PHP language to use the XP framework.
- PHP4 or PHP5?
Choose the release suitable for your PHP setup (XP 4.x.x requires PHP4, XP 5.x.x requires PHP5)
- Download
Get the zipfile or tar.gz, whatever you're more comfortable with and save it to your disk.
- Unpack
Create a directory (e.g. xp) - doesn't matter where - and extract the archive's contents into it. This will create lang.base.php and lib/xp-rt-X.X.X.xar
- Configure PHP
Open the php.ini file and search for a line containing include_path. Add the directory you unpacked the XP framework release and the xp-rt-X.X.X.xar to to this line.
Un*x: include_path=".:/home/thekid/xp/:/home/thekid/xp/lib/xp-rt-5.0.0.xar" Windows: include_path=".;D:\var\xp\;D:\var\xp\lib\xp-rt-5.0.0.xar".
- Done
You're ready to use the XP framework now!
Using additional packages
- Download
Download the xar files from the releases' lib directory (4.1.3, 5.0.0) into the same directory where xp-rt-X.X.X.xar resides.
- Configure PHP
Add the downloaded file to the include_path as described above.
- Done
The library is now available and can be used.
