I'd like to automatically scan uploaded files for viruses with php. There was an extension called php-clamavlib in earlier versions of ubuntu, but on Natty I get

E: Unable to locate package php5-clamavlib

Isn't there any extension anymore? What could I do to archive this?

Please download the latest php-clamav tarball from Launchpad.

Install php5-dev, clamav if you haven't already with sudo apt-get

Extract the tarball, cd into the php-clamav-xxxx directory, and follow these steps to install the php-clamav module (adapted from INSTALL):



phpize

./configure --with-clamav

make  

cp modules/clamav.so /usr/local/lib/php/extensions/

(restart Apache)

service httpd restart
