Question

I need to install clamav to be used on php. How can I do it? I have tried to google how to install clamav, but most instructions either install clam av correctly, but not the php package, or missing dependencies, or similar problems.

Was it helpful?

Solution

You just need to install ClamAV like normal (with the epel repo)...

yum install clamav
yum install clamav-devel

If you don't have EPEL you can get it from IUS community (if you want you can also grab the IUS repo and get the latest version of PHP) - thank the RackSpace engineers for this!

wget http://dl.iuscommunity.org/pub/ius/stable/CentOS/6/x86_64/epel-release-6-5.noarch.rpm
rpm -ivh epel-release-6-5.noarch.rpm

Then you download and install this library, which will handle all the hard things for you.

wget **the direct link you got**
tar -xvzf php-clamav_0.15.7.tar.gz
cd php-clamav-0.15.7
phpize
./configure
make
make install

Now add the extension to your /etc/php.ini

extension=/usr/lib64/php/modules/clamav.so

Remember to change the path to what was given to you by make install

then restart your Apache

service httpd restart

Make a file with the contents:

<?php
    echo cl_info();

It should come up with something like this:

Now you should have access to all the library functions, you can now scan files like this:

$retcode = cl_scanfile($file, $virus_name);

if ($retcode === CL_VIRUS)
{
    echo "Virus Detected! {$virus_name}";
}

Congratulations! You can find other functions here
