Recommended PHP extensions

bitweaver takes advantage of particular PHP extensions for full functionality. If any of these extensions are not available to bitweaver, particular features might not work and it might even render particular packages useless.

The extension zlib is available.
The zlib compression libraries are used to pack and unpack compressed files such as zip files.
The extension gd is available.
GD Libraries are used to manipulate images. We use these libraries to create thumbnails and convert images from one format to another. The GD libaries are quite limited and don't support a number of image formats including bmp. If you are planning on uploading and using a lot of images, we recommend you use ImageMagic instead.
If you are running Red Hat or Fedora Core, you can try running: yum install php-gd.
The extension imagick is not available.
ImageMagick supports a multitude of different image and video formats and can be used instead of the GD Libraries. Using these libraries will allow you to upload most image formats without any difficulties. For installation help, please view our online documentation: ImageMagick and MagickWand installation instructions or visit the ImageMagick homepage.
The extension magickwand is not available.
MagickWand the newer php extension for ImageMagick. For installation help, please view our online documentation: ImageMagick and MagickWand installation instructions or visit the ImageMagick homepage.
The extension eAccelerator is not available.
eAccelerator increases the efficiency of php by caching and optimising queries. Using this extension will greatly increase your servers performance and reduce the memory needed to run bitweaver.
