Simply use the php_install resource wherever you would like PHP installed from a package. By default, it will install from the platform's package manager (see libraries/helpers.rb to see the default packages list for each platoform).

Please see test/cookbooks/test/recipes/community.rb for an example of using the php_install resource to install the desired version of PHP & its supporting packages from a community repository, and please refer to the documentation on these community repositories:

• RHEL/CentOS - Remi’s RPM repository
