sphinxsearchHow do I configure Sphinx search to use an extension?

Configuring Sphinx search to use an extension is a simple process. First, you will need to install the extension via the command line. For example, if you wanted to install the MySQLi extension you would use the following command:

$ sudo apt-get install php7.0-mysql

Once the extension is installed, you will need to enable it in the php.ini file. This can be done by adding the following line to the php.ini file:

extension=mysqli.so

After the extension is enabled, you will need to restart the web server for the changes to take effect. This can be done with the following command:

$ sudo service apache2 restart

Once the web server is restarted, you will be able to use the extension with Sphinx search.

Code explanation

1. $ sudo apt-get install php7.0-mysql - Installs the extension via the command line
