Install FFmpeg-PHP Before starting this guide, this requires FFmpeg is installed you can see our guide here - Install FFmpeg Once FFmpeg is installed lets go ahead and install FFmpeg-PHP Remember to adjust phpize if you have multiple php installations. svn co https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/ffmpeg-php/trunk/ffmpeg-php cd ffmpeg-php phpize ./configure make make install Now you should see something like Installing shared extensions: /usr/local/php/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20050922/ So remember to adjust the following based on what you see as your php path may be different, for the rest of the examples we will be using the path above. cp /usr/local/php/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20050922/ffmpeg.so /usr/local/php/lib/php/extensions/ffmpeg.so Now open your php.ini php -i | grep ini Once you have the file open it with an editor, we will use nano nano /usr/local/php/lib/php.ini Find extension_dir = Set this to your path, using our example the line would look like extension_dir = "/usr/local/php/lib/extensions" Now scroll to the end of the file and add extension = ffmpeg.so You should now have FFmpeg installed, to verify execute php -i | grep ffmpeg You should see something like ffmpeg ffmpeg support (ffmpeg-php) => enabled ffmpeg-php version => 0.4.9 ffmpeg.allow_persistent => 0 => 0 The installation is now complete, remember to restart your webserver for the changes to take effect.
