It appears that RedHat 7.0 (updated) does not come default with pdflib, and therefore its PHP RPMs do not have pdf support compiled-in. Am I right? When trying "Example 1." from the PHP manual on creating a PDF document I get: Fatal error: Call to undefined function: pdf_open() in /var/www/html/pdftest/pdftest.php on line 3 So, I assume then, that the procedure for getting pdf support in RedHat 7.0 is to get pdflib from: http://www.pdflib.com/pdflib/download/index.html compile it with the option --enable-shared-pdflib as indicated by: http://www.php.net/manual/ref.pdf.php then install it. Then, I presume that I should grab RedHat's PHP src.rpm from: ftp://updates.redhat.com/7.0/SRPMS/php-4.0.3pl1-1.src.rpm (perhaps replacing the tarball with php-4.0.4 and adjust the .spec file appropriately???) and rebuild the RPM and then freshen/update the RPM installation? Is that all that it will take to get pdf support? Thanks. Lee Howard
