In configure script ther's no --with-informix option Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-02-23 09:32:28] pajoye@php.net You can fetch it from CVS: http://cvs.php.net/viewvc.cgi/pecl/informix/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-02-23 08:59:26] kprzemek at coig dot katowice dot pl I installed from PECL but in the PECL there is only PDO version, which means I can't use ifx_connect, ifx_query,etc. but PDO(informix:...), query(); Shall I rewrite the application? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-02-23 08:41:24] derick@php.net Why can't you install it from PECL? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-02-23 08:27:49] kprzemek at coig dot katowice dot pl Description: ------------ Hello I guess why in the php5.2.1 the current support for the driver for Informix DB has been changed. I can't switch to php5.2.1, because there is no --with-informix in the compilation options. 90% of my applications are mission critical and Informix DB based. I use AdoDB and native functions. How I'm supposed to tell our developers that they would have to rewrite the application and change all the instructions e.g.: ifx_connect, etc for PDO. This is the worst fitcher I have ever heard!!!! I'm sure I'm not the only one with this problem, because IBM Informix is used by millions of peole all over the world. I need your help in order to compile php5.2.1 with --with-informix option if "...are strongly encouraged to upgrade to it as soon as possible..." I have no options to compile it!!!
