Re: [PHP-DB] php/mysql/unix-Linux hosting with major DBMS support>?

2001-07-16 Thread Ken Sommers

Do you mean the hosting company would have compiled PHP with all the
extenions available at compile time?
I have looked at two different hosting company's phpinfo()

the only dbms they  build PHP with is mysql..or its' already built in
I think the resoning is: IF you want other dbms PHP functions,,just dl() it
.

2001-07-16 Thread Matthew Loff



You're correct that .so files are like Windows' .dll files...  However,
if the library were already available on the PHP host, it most likely
would already be included in the PHP binary...

Perhaps (as you suggested) you need to find binary distributions of each
individual library (e.g. mysql.so) that you need...  I'd check for .rpm
files...

That's all there is to it, I'm just not sure how to compile the mysql.so
file!  I looked through the PHP source tree, but the makefiles don't
seem to be able to build the shared libs.

Maybe it, along with others, can be downloaded from somewhere.

Either you miss mysql support in the php module or you need to load

dl("mysql.so"); (on unix)

in the top of all the scripts that use mysql.

the dl() does it all..

Re: [PHP-DB] php/mysql/unix-Linux hosting with major DBMS support>?

2001-07-16 Thread Ken Sommers

thanks Mat,
I found this FAQ:

When I try to connect to mysql from php I get this error: "Call to
unsupported or undefined function mysql_connect();"
Updated: 2001-06-01
Either you miss mysql support in the php module or you need to load mysql
dynamicly in your scripts by inserting:

dl("mysql.so"); (on unix)
dl("mysql.dll"); (on windows);

in the top of all the scripts that use mysql.
--- end of FAQ

I am hoping it is that simple.
the dl() does it all..
please say  it does..:)

RE: [PHP-DB] php/mysql/unix-Linux hosting with major DBMS support>?

2001-07-16 Thread Matthew Loff


The ext/ directory under the PHP source tree contains the source to the
extensions... 

You're right about the dl() syntax, except the parameter would need to
be in quotes, and dl() requires the full filename of the extension.

For xml, it would be:

dl("xml.so");

But compiling those shared modules is another story-- I'm not quite sure
how to.  Can anyone else help?

is this what some of them look like
is this the name that would go into the dl() function??

print_r (get_loaded_extensions());
 will print a list like:
Array
(
[0] => xml
[1] => wddx

RE: [PHP-DB] php/mysql/unix-Linux hosting with major DBMS support>?

2001-07-16 Thread Matthew Loff



I'm not sure if dl() can be restricted in php.ini-- Someone else will
have to comment on that...

I believe you'll have to dl() on every page you create... You could
always do the following for portability to other PHP hosts, just in case
they have the module already compiled in:

if(!extension_loaded("mysql")) dl("mysql.so");

That's assuming that the mysql ext. is named "mysql.so" in a compiled
state, of course.

Thanks for the HOT tip..on the dl() function.

should the dl() function work an ANY PHP4 host?
or do restrictons apply?


would I put the dl()  at the top of  EVERY  script page In which I Need
the functionality..? or just load it once per "session" and check and
see if it';s already loaded before I Load it,each time because it might
already be loaded,, like I Used to do when I used to get loaded? the
documentation is kinda skimpy. here's what it says:
---
dl
(PHP 3, PHP 4 >= 4.0b1)

dl -- load a PHP extension at runtime
Description

int dl (string library)


Loads the PHP extension defined in library. See also the extension_dir
configuration directive.

Re: [PHP-DB] php/mysql/unix-Linux hosting with major DBMS support>?

2001-07-16 Thread Ken Sommers

Thanks for the HOT tip..on the dl() function.

should the dl() function work an ANY PHP4 host?
or do restrictons apply?


would I put the dl()  at the top of  EVERY  script page In which I Need the
functionality..?
or just load it once per "session" and check and see if it';s already loaded
before I Load it,each time because it might already be loaded,,
like I Used to do when I used to get loaded?
the documentation is kinda skimpy.
here's what it says:
---
dl
(PHP 3, PHP 4 >= 4.0b1)

dl -- load a PHP extension at runtime
Description

int dl (string library)


Loads the PHP extension defined in library. See also the extension_dir
configuration directive.

thanks,

Ken

Even if a PHP host doesn't have all the DBMS extensions you need, you
could compile them and load them yourself with dl()

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.dl.php

I thought you might want to keep that in mind, in case one particular
host has a great price but not all the features you need...

Any one use or know of a php/mysql/unix-Linux hosting company with 
 PHP database support compiled with all the major DBMS's such as:

 mSQL
MySQL
PostgreSQL
Sybase
Oracle
Informix
MS-SQL
Other ODBC Database

I will need to use some or all of these DBMS PHP functions
for remote access.
