[Sussex] Odbc.so problem with Fedora core 4

[Brendan Whelan]

Hi Ronan,

Yes, my changes to php.ini are being acted on.

rpm -qa | grep -i odbc gave:
MyODBC-2.50.39-24
unixODBC-2.2.11-1

No mention of PHP5

I try to avoid compiling how do I do it for PHP?
Will recompiling sort out the ODBC -  I Had assumed that I would need to get
a current copy from somewhere?

Thanks,  Brendan

So the odbc.so file in question is a copy of the old PHP4 one?  If so
that's the root of your problems. You need an odbc module that matches
your PHP version.

Ok, and is /etc/php.ini what appears in the phpinfo printout?  Are your
tweaks being honoured?

A couple.  Firstly, check that the php5 odbc module rpm is
installed.  Your configure line indicates that its a shared module.
I'm not an RPMer but something like:-

rpm -qa | grep -i odbc

should give you a list of packages with odbc in their title.  Is a
PHP5 odbc package listed?

Second suggestion is to recompile from source.  PHP5 is easy to
compile.  This is the way I always go.  You then know exactly where
your libs are and what you've compiled when.

Cheers
