Re: php/mysql/unix-Linux hosting with major DBMS support>?

Thanks for the HOT tip..on the dl() function. should the dl() function work an ANY PHP4 host? or do restrictons apply? would I put the dl() at the top of EVERY script page In which I Need the functionality..? or just load it once per "session" and check and see if it';s already loaded before I Load it,each time because it might already be loaded,, like I Used to do when I used to get loaded? the documentation is kinda skimpy. here's what it says: --- dl (PHP 3, PHP 4 >= 4.0b1) dl -- load a PHP extension at runtime Description int dl (string library) Loads the PHP extension defined in library. See also the extension_dir configuration directive. --- thanks, Ken ----- Original Message ----- From: "Matthew Loff" <matt@willetts.com> To: "'Ken Sommers'" <sommersken@hotmail.com>; "'PHP DB Mailing List'" <php-db@lists.php.net> Sent: Monday, July 16, 2001 6:01 PM Subject: RE: [PHP-DB] php/mysql/unix-Linux hosting with major DBMS support>? > > Even if a PHP host doesn't have all the DBMS extensions you need, you > could compile them and load them yourself with dl() > > http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.dl.php > > I thought you might want to keep that in mind, in case one particular > host has a great price but not all the features you need... > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Ken Sommers [mailto:sommersken@hotmail.com] > Sent: Monday, July 16, 2001 8:53 PM > To: PHP DB Mailing List > Subject: [PHP-DB] php/mysql/unix-Linux hosting with major DBMS support>? > > > Any one use or know of a php/mysql/unix-Linux hosting company with > PHP database support compiled with all the major DBMS's such as: > > mSQL > MySQL > PostgreSQL > Sybase > Oracle > Informix > MS-SQL > Other ODBC Database > > I will need to use some or all of these DBMS PHP functions > for remote access. > > thanks,, > Ken > > > -- > PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, e-mail: php-db-unsubscribe@lists.php.net > For additional commands, e-mail: php-db-help@lists.php.net > To contact the list administrators, e-mail: php-list-admin@lists.php.net > >
