REQUIREMENTS

1) ffmpeg-0.4.9pre1 or higher built with the --enable-shared option (ffmpeg cvs recommended)
2) php-4.3.x or higher
3) gd-2.0.x or higher or the version of GD bundled with PHP

INSTALLATION
 

1) Download latest version of ffmpeg-php library here

 1. BUILDING FFMPEG-PHP AS A SHARED EXTENSION 

This solution is better, becouse you mustnt recompile your php 

1. Build php if not already built (See the file INSTALL in your php source directory)

2. Unpack the archive and copy the ffmpeg extension directory into your the
   php sources extensions directory

        tar -xjf ffmpeg-php.X.XX.tar.gz
        cp ffmpeg /path/to/php_sources/ext

3. cd into the ffmpeg extension directory

        cd /path/to/php_sources/ext/ffmpeg

4. Run phpize (included in the php installation) to build configuration files

        phpize

(If you cant search for phpize, maybe you will need to install package like php-devel)

5. Configure and build

        ./configure && make

6. Install the shared extension

        make install (you may need to become root depending on your installation)

If everything went as planned, ffmpeg-php is now installed as a shared library.
You must explicitly load it in your scripts using dl(ffmpeg.so) or if you want
it available to all scripts by default add extension=ffmpeg.so to your php.ini
file which will tell php to load it when starting up.

2.BUILDING FFMPEG-PHP AS PART OF THE PHP BINARY   

1. Unpack the archive and copy the ffmpeg extension directory into your the php
   sources extensions directory

        tar -xjf ffmpeg-php.X.XX.tar.gz
        cp ffmpeg /path/to/php_sources/ext

2. Run autoconf to rebuild the php configure script and add the --with-ffmpeg
   option

        cd /path/to/php_sources
        autoconf
       
2. configure php using...

        ./configure --with-ffmpeg=yes
      
...and build and install php.
