Re: Problems when trying to use ibm_db2 extension

Problem solved: I restarted my computer and after that apache loaded ibm_db2 extension. My conclusion: 1. When you add some extensions to php.ini, you need to restart windows in order to get those extensions available through apache 2. However, those extensions are instantly available if you use php command line interface Anyone disagree? -Leo- Leo Jokinen wrote:

Hi all, I've been banging my head into the wall cause I can't get ibm_db2 extension working with Apache 2.0.59 and PHP 5.2.1 (as apache module). (Operating system is winxp pro SP2) For some reason, this code is working on command line but not when placed to htdocs folder:

<?php if(function_exists('db2_connect')) { echo 'Function db2_connect() exists'; } else { echo 'Unknown function db2_connect()'; exit; } echo "\nTrying to connect DB2 database..\n"; $database = 'services'; $user = 'db2admin'; $password = 'xxx'; $hostname = '127.0.0.1'; $port = 50000; $conn_string = "DRIVER={IBM DB2 ODBC DRIVER};DATABASE=$database;" . "HOSTNAME=$hostname;PORT=$port;PROTOCOL=TCPIP;UID=$user;PWD=$password;"; $conn = db2_connect($conn_string, '', ''); if ($conn) { echo "OK: Connection established\n"; db2_close($conn); } else { echo "ERROR: Connection failed\n"; } ?>

Command line output:

C:\>php c:\db2_test.php Function db2_connect() exists Trying to connect DB2 database.. OK: Connection established

Web output:

Unknown function db2_connect()

Some extra output:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function db2_connect() in F:\www\services.itella.net\app\webroot\index.php on line 57

Also, phpinfo() won't say nothing that module ibm_db2 is in use More info: php_ibm_db2.dll file is in folder C:/php-5.2.1/ext php.ini: extension_dir = "C:/php-5.2.1/ext" extension=php_ibm_db2.dll httpd.conf: AddType application/x-httpd-php .php LoadModule php5_module "C:/php-5.2.1/php5apache2.dll" PHPIniDir "C:/php-5.2.1/" Can someone point out the right direction for me?
