===for php applications=== php is a powerful server side language that is already installed on your NAS. Web pages can be written to call php scripts (programs) that reside in the web space on your NAS. Examples of common php applications are Wiki's, bulletin boards, media servers (including Synology's PhotoStation), interactive websites etc. Well written php applications are the easiest and safest (in terms of system stability) applications to install on your NAS. Because a php engine is already installed on your Synology NAS you don't normally need to install any additonal packages. php programs are also normally independant of the hardware platform, i.e. they don't need compiling to match your CPU etc. See [[User Reported Compatible PHP/MySQL Applications|Compatible PHP/MySQL Applications]] for a list of some php apps already being used by synology users. A typical installation routine for a php application would involve starting the web service on the NAS, copying a compressed archive file containing the application files into the "web" folder, extracting the archive files, and then opening an index.php or config.php or <app_name>.php web page in your internet browser. As an example Zina covered in a Wiki at [[Install Zina Media Server ]] is a php application. As long as you didn't need to activate the [[Modifications|Command Line Interface]] then installing php programs is NOT classified as a modification to your NAS. Note: The php engine in your Synology NAS restricts (for security reasons) any php programs to only being able to access files/directories in the "web" and "photo" shared folders. If you want to install a php app and let it access files/directories in other shared folders you will need to mod the php.ini file as described in the [[Install Zina Media Server ]] wiki.
