-   下面是 PHP 的 <filename>configure</filename> 脚本使用的部分选项的列表，用于类 Unix 环境的编译。大部分配置选项在扩展模块参考页面适当的位置列出，而不是在这里。要查看所有可用配置选项的列表，在运行 <command>autoconf</command> 命令后在 PHP 的源代码目录运行 <command>./configure --help</command> (参见<link linkend="installation">安装章节</link>)。您也可以阅读 <ulink url="&url.gnu.configure;">GNU configure</ulink> 文档以获得有关 <command>configure</command> 命令的更详细信息，例如 <literal>--prefix=PREFIX</literal>。
+   Below is a partial list of configure options used by the PHP
+   <filename>configure</filename> scripts when compiling in Unix-like
+   environments. Most configure options are listed in their appropriate
+   locations on the extension reference pages and not here. For a complete
+   up-to-date list of configure options, run <command>./configure --help</command>
+   in your PHP source directory after running <command>autoconf</command>
+   (see also the <link linkend="installation">Installation chapter</link>).
+   You may also be interested in reading the
+   <ulink url="&url.gnu.configure;">GNU configure</ulink> documentation for
+   information on additional <command>configure</command> options such as
+   <literal>--prefix=PREFIX</literal>.

-    这些选项只用在编译的时候。如果您想要修改 PHP 的运行时配置，请阅读<link

+    These are only used at compile time. If you want to alter PHP's
+    runtime configuration, please see the chapter on <link

-     这些选项仅适用于 PHP 4.1.0 以上版本。尽管某些选项可以用在较旧版本的 PHP 4，甚至 PHP 3，如果您想编译旧版本的 PHP，请注意有些选项不可用。
+     These options are only used in PHP 4 as of PHP 4.1.0. 
+     Some are available in older versions of PHP 4, some even in PHP 3, some only in PHP 4.1.0.
+     If you want to compile an older version, some options will probably 
+     not be available.
