I DID use MacPorts!

Ah, ok, great. I have added the following two lines:
extension=iconv.so
extension=geoip.so
Now, php -i|grep -E '(iconv|geoip)' reveals:
miishka:.calendar tamara$ php -i|grep -E '(iconv|geoip)'
Registered Stream Filters => zlib.*, convert.iconv.*, string.rot13,
string.toupper, string.tolower, string.strip_tags, convert.*, consumed
iconv
iconv support => enabled
iconv implementation => libiconv
iconv library version => 1.11
iconv.input_encoding => ISO-8859-1 => ISO-8859-1
iconv.internal_encoding => ISO-8859-1 => ISO-8859-1
iconv.output_encoding => ISO-8859-1 => ISO-8859-1
But still no geoip love.
Installed the geoip extension from: https://github.com/Zakay/geoip
following the instruction in the README, modified to use version 5.3.6
in /usr/local/:
OSX (MacPorts):
sudo port install libgeoip
Then after unpacking:
/usr/local/bin/phpize
./configure --prefix=/usr/local
--with-php-config=/usr/local/bin/php-config
make
sudo make install
Clearly, something isn't getting in the right place. Running a find:
miishka:.calendar tamara$ find /opt/local -name 'libGeoIP*'
/opt/local/lib/libGeoIP.1.dylib
/opt/local/lib/libGeoIP.a
/opt/local/lib/libGeoIP.dylib
/opt/local/lib/libGeoIP.la
/opt/local/lib/libGeoIPUpdate.0.dylib
/opt/local/lib/libGeoIPUpdate.a
/opt/local/lib/libGeoIPUpdate.dylib
/opt/local/lib/libGeoIPUpdate.la
Shows the install libGeoIP. I'm suspicious about my configure invocation above.
I captured the script of my build here: http://pastebin.com/8KJ5ShnK
Please let me know what I've forgotten or misplaced.

You have to add the extensions to your php.ini file, and - if
using them on the web - remember to restart Apache.

Mmh ok. In french we call us "banking round" but the "infinite round"
(PHP_ROUND_HALF_UP) is more usual ?
Thanks all. But... Last question, what kind of round do you use for
pricing information, shop, bank requests ?

Try something along this line:
<?php preg_match_all('/<a\b/Ui',$text,$matches); ?>
Replace $text with the text through which you want to look, and
your results will be an array in $matches. The \b switch in the
regexp will match any word/letter border, which includes whitespaces,
tabs, newlines, periods, et cetera. Essentially, anything that you'll
want to match inside HTML tags, be they valid or otherwise. The U
modifier makes the search "Ungreedy," while the i modifier makes it
case-iNsEnSiTiVe.

Hi gang:
I need information to convince administrators in "management" that PHP is a
viable subject that should be taught in college with credits going toward a
Degree or Certification.
You see, I am pushing for a Web Development Certification program that would
include PHP/MySQL as well as several other Web Languages (i.e., html, css,
javascript, ajax).
Currently the college teaches ASP in a regular course toward a IT
Certification, but class attendance has dropped considerably -- no one wants to
take the course.
However, My PHP class has been maxed out. But my class is a "special topic"
class and not part of the regular coursework that would go towards a Degree or
Certification -- and that's where I would like this to go.
As such, I need information regarding how wide-spread PHP is (i.e., number of
installations), who's using it (i.e., companies, organizations), and how it
compares with other Web Languages (i.e., ASP, Ruby, etc.).
So, what say you? References will work.
Thanks,
tedd
