Bug #53771 [Fbk->Bgs]: Apache 2.2 will not start with Interbase enabled

Edit report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=53771&edit=1 ID: 53771 Updated by: pajoye@php.net Reported by: jackmason at mindspring dot com Summary: Apache 2.2 will not start with Interbase enabled -Status: Feedback +Status: Bogus Type: Bug Package: InterBase related Operating System: Windows 7 PHP Version: 5.3.5 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself. For a list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the appropriate forum for asking support questions. Due to the volume of reports we can not explain in detail here why your report is not a bug. The support channels will be able to provide an explanation for you. Thank you for your interest in PHP. The Firebird libraries are required to use interbase extensions. They have to be in your PATH. Test it under CLI to see the error (DLLs not found) or enable/read apache's error log.

Without "extension=php_interbase.dll", ibase_connect fails as an undefined function, so Interbase is not enabled as a service by default even though php.ini contains the basic defaults such as "ibase.allow_persistent = 1". This system is also running PHPEd, with its associated PHP which works fine. When bypassing Apache and confining the pages to PHPEd, everything works. The "extension=php_interbase.dll" is in the PHPEd php.ini. The InterBase server is running on this system, and PHPEd has no trouble finding it without any explicit directions. Either there is another way to enable InterBase on 5.35, or something is wrong. Test script: --------------- $DBUser='MAINUSER'; $DBPass='MAINPASS'; $DB=ibase_connect('127.0.0.1:C:/SDB/George.gdb', $DBUser, $DBPass); Expected result: ---------------- ibase_connect should be recognized as a valid function. Actual result: -------------- ibase_connect is declared an undefined function. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=53771&edit=1
