Question

I was wondering if it is possible to install Suhosin for php without completely recompiling the php library. I’ve looked around a lot an all I was able to find are resources for Linux and other windows alternatives. I did stumble upon one resource for windows, but it requires re-compiling php with Suhosin enabled, is there a way to do this on an existing, compiled php library?

I tried php -f suhosin-patch-5.3.9-0.9.10.patch in the cmd which gives a console output but no actual file is compiled, so installing the extension is not possible at this point.

here is the windows resouce:

Thanks.

Answer 1

-f is a flag for the compiled interpreter that makes the interpreter execute the specified php source code. suhosin is a patch to the php interpreter, which is written in C.

Therefore, you must download the source code of the php interpreter, apply suhosin, and then recompile php.
