# Configuring your PHP server

To allow your PHP server to work with the PHP Integration Kit, check that the correct extensions are installed and configure your agent config file.

## Steps

1. On your PHP server, use the phpinfo() function to check that the cURL, mcrypt, zlib, and mhash extensions are installed.

2. Check that your PHP server is configured to process files with a .php extension.

   On the Apache HTTPD server, you can use the AddType command to add the extension:

   `AddType application/x-httpd-php .php`

   This step is not needed on the built-in PHP web server.

3. From the integration `.zip` archive, copy the `dist/pingidentity/opentoken` directory to your PHP `include` path as `/opentoken`.

4. Change `AGENT_CONFIG_FILE` in the `pingidentity/opentoken/helpers/config.php` file to point to the location of the `agent-config.txt` file that you saved in [Configuring an OpenToken Adapter instance](pf_php_ik_configuring_an_opentoken_adapter_instance.html).

   On Windows, use the network-path syntax:

   `\\<host>\<path>`

5. To avoid internationalization compatibility issues, enforce UTF-8 encoding by explicitly specify `default_charset=utf8` in your PHP server's `php.ini` file.
