PHP Package

[Phos]

Ok, Just installed Kubuntu after killing part of my hard drive and much panic, but alas, I cannot find a PHP thing that will allow me to run PHP scripts in Terminal. (when i type 'php --version' in the terminal window it tells me it can't find what i'm looking for).
My Adept Package thing has no reference to PHP in it whatsoever, and due to the refusal of my DCHP server to give me an IP address while running Kubuntu, it seems I have to download the package and install it manually?
the problem is, I dunno what I have to do, or what to download, or where to look for the package i want, oh and i also have no idea what the package i want is called.

Please help 
I'm very confused!

Re: PHP Package

Hi,

I can see that this package is available in main repository. Did you enabled repositories ?

Re: PHP Package

Is there no way to do this without being connected to the internet?

Re: PHP Package

You should then download few packages... Like php5, apache2 but you would probably be missing something. I don't know maybe all these packages are on the alternate cd also.
If not, you shoud download all these packages to install an apache2 and php5 server (I guess you would like also a database server but don't know which one)
list of packages to download :
apache2 apache2-common apache2-mpm-prefork apache2-utils libapache2-mod-php5 libapr0 php5 php5-common ssl-cert

You should be able to find them on an official repo.

Cheers
