[PHP-N-Ingres Configuration]

Ok, I found the answer. for some reason php.ini file was not getting loaded when I started IIS server so I had to move the "php.ini" file to C:\Windows. That resolved it now my app loads ingres_pconnect() method.

[PHP-N-Ingres Configuration]

more info, I have used get_loaded_extensions() method to find the modules loaded, list is as below

Array (

[0] => bcmath

[1] => calendar

[2] => com_dotnet

[3] => ctype

[4] => date

[5] => ftp

[6] => iconv

[7] => odbc

[8] => pcre

[9] => session

[10] => libxml

[11] => standard

[12] => tokenizer

[13] => zlib

[14] => SimpleXML

[15] => dom

[16] => SPL

[17] => wddx

[18] => xml

[19] => ISAPI )

lib loading done - - 1 -

 

evidently ingres module is NOT LOADED, but when I trace it from command line php -m ig gives me a different list - It lists INGRES MODULE

 

C:\php>php -m

bcmath

calendar

com_dotnet

ctype

date

dom

ftp

iconv

[b]ingres[/b]

libxml

odbc

pcre

session

SimpleXML

SPL

standard

tokenizer

wddx

xml

zlib

 

[Zend Modules]

 

global shutdown

 

C:\php>

 

Would someone please explain what is going on; Your comments are really appreciated.

Ok, I read the readme doc it said to move .exe and .dlls to the working php dir. I did that now nothing is working. Fortunately I had the backup of the files I deleted, I restored them after that everything works fine. So, evedently something is worng with the build.

 

Would someone reply with a solution please.

 

Thank you.

[PHP-N-Ingres Configuration]

Hi PHP Gurus, I am trying to get PHP working with INgres on IIS6.0. I downloaded PHP5.1.1 binary version and PECL library for Ingres support and confgured IIS6.0. I have the test PHP script <?php phpinfo() ?> working fine it displays all the PHP info. I have INgres-r3 installed and it is up and running.

 

Now my questions,

 

Question 1: Should I recompile PHP to get PHP-ingres extension (ingres_pconnect() ) working?

 

If I have to recompile what are the options required to recompile. I downloaded php 5.1.1 src also.

 

 

Question 2: I googled php-ingres support and found that PHP should be compiled with Ingres to get ingres working (NOT using ODBC). Please confirm this.

 

Just to try, I compiled php src with these options

cscript /nologo configure.js "--with-ingres=C:\opt\Ingres" "--without-iconv" "--disable-com-dotnet" "--without-gd" "--without-libxml"

 

It compiled fine and I do have the compiled version.

 

I have to sample scripts to test DB connection,

 

test1.php

<?php

 

$connectionstring = odbc_connect("MDB", "admin", "admin");

 

$Query = "SELECT table_name FROM iitables";

 

$queryexe = odbc_do($connectionstring, $Query);

 

odbc_result_all($queryexe, "BORDER=1");

 

odbc_close($connectionstring);

 

?>

 

test2.php

<?php

 

$connection = ingres_pconnect("MDB", "admin", "admin");

 

ingres_query("select table_name from iitables");

while ($row = ingres_fetch_row()) {

echo $row;

}

?>

 

test1.php is working fine with the PHP binary version I downloaded but does not work with the recompiled version. now the question is after I recompile should I copy any files from compiled version into the binary version or should I just use the new compiled version (I am currently setup to use the compiled version) If so what are the chnages required?

 

test2.php does not work on either versions, Here is the error I am running into

 

Fatal error: Call to undefined function ingres_pconnect() in C:\php\testpro\test2.php on line 6

 

I am struck on this for the past two days, I woud appreciate if anyone can anwser these questions.

 

Thank you.
