Hi all,
We currently have Informix running on an HP Unix machine. We
have successfully connected to that database from a different HP
Unix machine running Apache and php. When we compiled php on
the web server, we included several Informix libraries that allow us
to use the php functions. This is working just fine. Now for my
question:
We now want to set up another machine to be able to access
Informix using Apache and php, but this machine is running Linux,
not HP Unix. Our techie guy was concerned that the Informix
libraries I mentioned before were specific to HP Unix, and would
not work under Linux.
If anyone could shed some light on what we'll need to do to get this
running, I'd appreciate it. Specifically:
Do these libraries exist for Linux?
Are they free?
Are they the same libraries as I would use for HP Unix, or do I
need different ones?
Thanks,
David
