How to Install jpgraph on Linux cPanel with easyApache4?

[Russel Olinger]

I am pulling my hair on this one.  Prior to easyApache4 the install directions that come with the JpGraph download would be pretty straight forward, but with easyApache and multiple instances of PHP it is no longer straight forward.

I have 3 versions of PHP installed, PHP71, 72 and 73, I have yet to update to 8.x.  But the problem is that the directory structure is no longer the same.

Here is what know so far:

"whereis php" =>  /usr/bin/php /usr/local/bin/php

"which php" => /usr/local/bin/php

php -f "phpInfo();"  (the relevant info)

==============================

<trimmed>

Configuration File (php.ini) Path => /opt/cpanel/ea-php73/root/etc
Loaded Configuration File => /opt/cpanel/ea-php73/root/etc/php.ini

Scan this dir for additional .ini files => /opt/cpanel/ea-php73/root/etc/php.d
Additional .ini files parsed => /opt/cpanel/ea-php73/root/etc/php.d/10-opcache.ini,
/opt/cpanel/ea-php73/root/etc/php.d/20-bcmath.ini,
/opt/cpanel/ea-php73/root/etc/php.d/20-bz2.ini,

... many more .ini files

extension_dir => /opt/cpanel/ea-php73/root/usr/lib64/php/modules => /opt/cpanel/ea-php73/root/usr/lib64/php/modules

include_path => .:/opt/cpanel/ea-php73/root/usr/share/pear => .:/opt/cpanel/ea-php73/root/usr/share/pear

PATH => /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/lib/path-bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/opt/cpanel/composer/bin:/home/userDir/bin
PWD => /home/userDir/php

========================

So it looks like everything is in the /opt/cpanel/ea-php73/root directory, but here is the output of that dir:

ls -la /opt/cpanel/ea-php73/root
total 0
dr-xr-xr-x 17 root root 224 Nov 24  2021 .

drwxr-xr-x 14 root root 166 Nov 24  2021 usr
drwxr-xr-x 18 root root 210 Nov 24  2021 var

Knowing the above...where exactly should I be copying/moving the jpgraph folder to?  How can I install it so its available to all versions of php that are installed?  Would that require moving jgraph to a more neutral location and create a sym link that makes it available for any/all versions of 'ea-php7x' or soon to be '-ea-php8x' versions?  How would I go about doing that?

Any/all help is appreciated, been pulling my hair out on this one and quite oddly, I have not found a SINGLE reference anywhere on how to install jpgraph on a cPanel with easyApache installed.

Thanks.

Regardless of where PHP is installed or what version is being used I would put JPGraph near the root of, or just above, your web site directory. There should be no direct correlation between the PHP version being used and JPGraph. Keep them separate. When you use the autoload feature of JPGraph all of its necessary paths should be figured out for you. Again, regardless of which version of PHP is being used.
