The ./configure stuff shows you which options were set when php was
compiled. It is a good place to start to see if the functionality you
need is available. You should also check further down in the phpinfo()
output for other stuff you may need. For example; If you web
applications need GD support then look for "GD Support enabled".

You will need to ensure that every function your web app requires will
be available within the new environment. If you don't have everything
you need then your site may end up looking like this:

*Fatal error*: Call to undefined function: some_function() in
*/var/www/info.php* on line *3*
