Package php81 provides the PHP scripting language as a Software
Collection. For more information about Software Collections, see
scl(1). By installing the php81 collection, you will get a
minimal set of packages to have a working PHP.
Usage: scl enable php81 'php'
Software Collections allows use of applications which are not located
in the filesystem root hierarchy but are present in an alternative
location, which is /opt/remi/php81/root in case of the php81
collection.
PHP is an HTML-embedded scripting language. PHP attempts to make it
easy for developers to write dynamically generated web pages. PHP also
offers built-in database integration for several commercial and
non-commercial database management systems, so writing a
database-enabled webpage with PHP is fairly simple. The most common
use of PHP coding is probably as a replacement for CGI scripts.
The php81-php package provides the module (often referred to as mod_php)
which adds support for the PHP language to Apache HTTP server.
The php81-php-fpm package provides the FastCGI process manager
which adds support for the PHP language to FastCGI compatible servers.
FastCGI process manager (php-fpm) listens on local soket
(by default /var/opt/remi/php81/run/php-fpm/www.sock).
When working with php81 collection, use the "scl" utility (see
scl(1) for usage) to enable the scl environment properly.
