PONeeding an explanation regarding PHP extentions
text
Body
copied!<p>Here is a quick overview:</p> <p>I just finished compiling PHP 5.3.5 and made the attempt to compile "--with" a number of different extensions. Among the extensions that I need are <strong>mbstring</strong> and <strong>intl</strong>. I can manually <strong>phpize, configure, make, make install</strong> the <strong>mbstring</strong> extension and it seems to work fine. However, I am unable to do the same for <strong>intl</strong>.</p> <p>My <em>./configure</em> line looks like this:</p> <pre><code>./configure --with-openssl --with-pcre-regex --enable-calendar --with-curl --enable-exif --enable-ftp --with-gd --with-mhash --enable-mbstring --with-mysql --enable-zip --enable-intl --with-icu-dir=... </code></pre> <p>The code compiles without problem: <strong><em>./configure... make, make install</em></strong></p> <p>I used the <strong>php.ini-production</strong> for my <strong>php.ini</strong> configuration and I configured Apache to use <strong>php-cgi</strong> for a specific domain, and that works fine as well.</p> <p>A quick:</p> <pre><code><?php phpinfo() ?> </code></pre> <p>reveals that I am in fact running the newer version of PHP. However, the extensions specified in the "<strong>./configure...</strong>" line do not show up anywhere on the PHP info page.</p> <p>After a bit of scouting I found that I could run <strong>phpize</strong> on a single extension in the PHP source folder, then compile a build of the specific module and install it in my PHP extension directory. After adding:</p> <pre><code>extension=MY_EXT </code></pre> <p>in my php.ini, the extension showed up on my <strong>phpinfo()</strong> page.</p> <p>So can anyone explain why <strong>--with-mbstring</strong> doesn't seem to have an effect on my compilation?</p> <p>I had no compilation problems for the <strong>intl</strong> extension, but moving the <strong>intl.so</strong> file to my PHP extensions directory and adding an extension line in my php.ini has no effect.</p>

Querying!
