ID: 28719 User updated by: terry dot bowling at verizon dot com Reported By: terry dot bowling at verizon dot com Status: Bogus Bug Type: Informix related Operating System: Fedora Core 2 PHP Version: 4.3.7 New Comment:
PHP 4.3.7 seemed to contain a few bug fixes and updates for Informix, but I was never able to get the Fedora SRPM's for any of the 4.3.x versions to compile. Maybe there _is_ a problem with Fedora's packages. I worked around the issue by installing the Fedora PHP4.3.7 binaries. I then downloaded the raw 4.3.7 source code from PHP. I looked at the compile options that the SRPM's used and I compiled the raw source with the same options, including Informix suppport. When it was finished, all I had to do was copy the informix.so lib into /usr/lib/php4/. I also had to configure the /etc/php.ini file and add create /etc/php.d/informix.ini. I think the informix.so lib was found in either src/php-4.3.7/modules/ or src/php-4.3.7/ext/informix/. I can't remember which. Keep in mind that some of these directories and the informix.ini seem to be Fedora/RedHat specific. Hope this helps someone....

The only Informix Client SDK's available on IBM's website are 2.81.UC1, 2.81.UC2, and 2.81.UC3. I tried all three with the same result. I set the following env vars: INFORMIXDIR=/usr/local/informix LD_LIBRARY_PATH=:/usr/local/informix/lib:/usr/local/informix/lib/esql I was able to compile perl's DBD::Informix with no problems and I can query and write to my DB, so I think informix sdk is fine. I add --with-informix=/usr/local/informix to php's SPEC file. It starts compiling fine, then gives this error: ******* RPM compile error: /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lphpifx collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make: *** [sapi/cgi/php] Error 1 error: Bad exit status from /home/admin/tmp/rpm-tmp.54071 (%build) *** Strategy 2, forget the whole rpm and just do Informix module *** Since I already have php installed, I tried going into the php4.3.x/ext/informix dir to compile this module by itself. I used the following commands: phpize ./configure make It says it builds completely and without error. cp modules/informix.so /usr/lib/php4/informix.so put the appropriate informix.ini in /etc/php.d then I use the following command to test it: /home/admin> php ifxtest.php ifxtest.php contains the following lines of code: <? #ifx_connect(1,2,3); ?> This script should give an error saying it could not connect to the database because I gave it bogus parameters. But instead I get: /home/admin> php ifxtest.php PHP Warning: Unknown(): Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php4/informix.so' - /usr/local/informix/lib/esql/libifos.so: undefined symbol: ifx_checkAPI in Unknown on line 0 Content-type: text/html X-Powered-By: PHP/4.3.7 Actual result: -------------- ******* RPM compile error: /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lphpifx collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make: *** [sapi/cgi/php] Error 1 error: Bad exit status from /home/admin/tmp/rpm-tmp.54071 (%build) ******* php script using /usr/lib/php4/informix.so /home/admin> php ifxtest.php PHP Warning: Unknown(): Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php4/informix.so' - /usr/local/informix/lib/esql/libifos.so: undefined symbol: ifx_checkAPI in Unknown on line 0 Content-type: text/html X-Powered-By: PHP/4.3.7 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=28719&edit=1
