The FANN PHP extension should work on all Linux systems.
Before you start installation make sure that libfann is installed on your system. It's part of the main repository in the most Linux distributions (search for `fann`). You need a development version.
If it is not installed, you need to install it first. Either download it from the » official site or get it from your distro repository. For example on Fedora:
$ sudo yum install fann-devel
$ sudo apt-get install libfann-dev
This extension is available on PECL. The installation is very simple. Just run:
$ sudo pecl install fann
For developers and people interested in the latest changes, you can compile the driver from the latest source code on » Github. Go to Github and click the "Download ZIP" button. Then run:
$ unzip php-fann-master.zip $ cd php-fann-master $ phpize $ ./configure $ make all $ sudo make install
Make the following changes to php.ini:
Make sure the extension_dir variable is pointing to the directory containing fann.so. The build will display where it is installing the PHP driver with output that looks something like:
Installing '/usr/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20060613/fann.so'
$ php -i | grep extension_dir extension_dir => /usr/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20060613 => /usr/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20060613
To load the extension on PHP startup, add a line:
extension=fann.so
