Interbase module for PHP

Lemming

Hey guys,

does anyone have, ior know where I can download, the interbase_so (??) module for PHP??

Oh and before I forget ... the webserver shall be running on an RH 7.2 box

/ me looks in dahamsta and typedefs general direction

/me wonders if it should have been added at compile time.

Dump RH.

/me wonders if it should have been added at compile time. that is at the configure stage of php, youh should have added
--with-interbase or something similar.

Dump RH.

./configure --with-interbase=/opt/interbase --with-apxs

Make sure you give the right InterBase root directory as option. (/opt/interbase here)
Then issue:


make
make install

When installing is finished, open the php.ini configuration file (located in /usr/local/lib/), and check if these lines exist (uncomment/modify them if necessary):


magic_quotes_sybase = On ; Use Sybase-style magic quotes (escape ' with '' instead of \')
extension=php_interbase.so

.logic.

Okk .. cheers for the replies lads.

The Interbase database is actually on another machine, so the machine which is running apache+php4 doesn't have it installed as such.

here's the debug.log from my attempted build of php

At the moment I'm just trying to get it runnign with interbase support (since this is a test box) to test some php scripts I've written (which NEED to interact with an Interbase Server)

You will need to have the interbase software compiled on your system to be able to compile php with the module. it doesnt just link to it, or have default support, it neads to know where the librarys are in order for it to work. so on the conifure line do what logic said. --with-interbase=/usr/interbase/lib or whereever they are.

dahamsta

If you don't want to install Interbase on that machine, and the other machine is running the same platform and OS (and Apache), just compile and make PHP on that machine, but don't install. Compile it --with-interbase=shared,/path/to/libs, and when make is done the interbase module (interbase.so) will be in the /modules directory under the PHP source tree. Copy this and load it via php.ini.

i found this, i think it may do what you need.

http://php.weblogs.com/ADODB/ download it.

it supports interbase and provides you with an ODBC layer to connect to the other machine, *hopefully*

hope it helps, iv only just downloaded it, ill get back to you if i find it of great use
