Situation: LAMP installation,. Multiple sites some of which use
identical scripts, and many of which could (with a bit of parameter
tweaking) use identical included scripts.
Multiple sites under /var/www.whatever.whatever and so on

Desired: a place that can be used to PUT these scripts.
Obviously: anywhere on the server is POSSIBLE.

But where is the most normal place, that e.g. anyone might EXPECT to
find them?

There is no "most normal" place. You should document the location, one
way could be to add a README.txt in /var/www.whatever.whatever and
hopefully you have a htdoc directory under there in which the site is
located.

If you have many sites that shares the same libraries, I would go with
include_path in php.ini, there are some default paths already added
which are commonly used by php extensions provided through the package
management system. The paths may be different depending on which
distribution you use.

Actually, a named server is the industry standard - just like with database
servers, static content servers, web servers and app servers. (e.g.
db.kaufman.net, static.kaufman.net, www.kaufman.net, apps.kaufman.net)
I think it's even codified in the latest ISO9xxx standard.

Once again, wrong, Sanders. But then once again you don't understand
the question.

J.O. is correct. And you are incorrect (hint: how do you include php
source from another server without making the source available to the
whole world?).

Thanks for that. A most interesting idea. But wouldn't that make them
PUBLICLY accessible to anyone on the net?

Sure, Sanders example here would require you to have a copy in each
virtual host, with other words what you already done.

Using the include_path option in php.ini, then if it's a global php.ini
the modules would be accessible by all vhosts on that server, if you
sites has individual php.ini (as you can have in a suExec setup), then
those modules would only be accessible by those vhosts with the right
php.ini.

I suppose another example would be to hard link the files to 'copies' in
each vhosts directory.

And make em readonly :-)

LAMP installation : use /usr/local as the php5.5.6 build will use
--with-config-file-path=/path/to/php.ini or /usr/local/lib/php.ini

Then if you're not an admin run your server above port 1024 e.g. 8080 and
load from a shared object file somewhere, then load php files in a user's
public_html directory. This means you compile your own apache and php
installation.

Where to put include files has nothing to do with the port being used.
And there is no need to compile either Apache or PHP to do this.

It's simply a matter of putting the files in a directory outside of any
one website, but accessible to all. This is often in the /var/lib
hierarchy, but could be other places, also.

And by making the files owned by a different user but with read but not
write access to a group the web server user (i.e. www-data) is in,
read-only access is assured.

However, none of this has anything to do with PHP, anyway, which TNP
doesn't understand.
