PHP / MySQL

There are so many reasons to use Content Profile instead of the user's core profile. For once, profiles are created as separate nodes and therefore the full flexibility of CCK and VIews come in the game. This way it is possible to build some really sophisticated profiles, which is usually what is needed for any website.

I had to look around for an easy solution on how to load the user's content profile programmatically, so the following might come in helpful.

First things first, we need the pecl command in order to download and install APC from the repositories.

Let's run the following command in our terminal:

yum install php-pear

Then, we are making availlable a required package for the phpize command:

yum install php-devel

The followng package will allow apxs command:

yum install httpd-devel

Once we have all the above pakages installed, we are ready to install apc by running the pecl command:

pecl install apc
