pcntl and posix

Question

I keep getting the following error

Fatal error: Uncaught System_Daemon_Exception: PHP is compiled without --enable-pcntl directive in

I have used the PEAR Daemon program to create a daemon but I keep getting the error above.

I'm guessing I need the posix and pcntl extensions, but how do I install/enable pcntl and posix for PHP without recompiling PHP?

also I used the yum command but no package was found.

I'm on a CENTOS Linux server.

CentOS 5.7 does not ship with those packages.

Installing php-posix: How does one easily add posix support to PHP using yum?
Installing php-pcntl: https://serverfault.com/q/158113/75968

pcntl does not seem to be available, so either compile it yourself or use an additional repository, e.g. EPEL. We used it to get current php versions.

I was trying to do the same thing, and the only way that worked was compiling the pcntl extension itself -- at least it wasn't recompiling the whole php source. The method I used I mentioned in my answer at the serverfault question cweiske linked to.

I managed to adapt the instructions there to also work for the posix module, by just performing the same steps with "pcntl" replaced with "posix".
