[PHP] Question per install. Editing apxs (linux)

[Joelmon2001]

One source for raq 3 users like myself said to edit it for php and do this:
        Line 203:
        ($rc, @ARGV) = &Getopts("qn:gco:I+D+L+l+S+W+iaA",
@ARGV);
        This line should read as I have above. Normally its:
        ($rc, @ARGV) = &Getopts("qn:gco:I+D+L+l+W+iaA", @ARGV);
            [in other words, remove the +S ]


Ok, Remove the +S. Fine. However, another site said:

#fix apxs so that it can use the -S option
wget http://www.uk2raq.com/updates/php/apxs
mv apxs /usr/sbin/apxs
chmod 755 /usr/sbin/apxs    

That was interesting.

What is the difference between the 2 options?

Thanks. I hope this is not off topic, as it's per installing php
