Hi, Y'all. Count me as one of the many who have had trouble with pdflib, sthough my problem seems to be a bit different. In a nutshell, I can't seem to make PHP recognize that the pdflib is there. Configuration is PHP v 4.0.5, Apache 1.3.14, pdflib 4.0.0. Pdflib compiles and install correctly. At one point there was a pdflib installed as part of the SuSE installation, but I removed it once I found it and I then did a make clean on Apache, PHP and pdflib and recompiled and re-installed everything. PHP compiles and installs. The configuration as reported by phpinfo is: './configure' '--with-apache=/usr/local/src/apache_1.3.14' '--enable-discard-path' '--with-config-file-path=/usr/local/lib' '--enable-sigchild' '--enable-ctype' '--with-cybercash=/usr/local/src/mck-3.2.0.4-linux' '--with-gdbm' '--with-ndbm' '--enable-ftp' '--with-mysql=/usr' '--with-pdflib=/usr/local/lib' '--with-zlib-dir=/usr/local/lib' '--with-jpeg-dir=/usr/local/lib' '--with-png-dir=/usr/local/lib' '--with-tiff-dir=/usr/local/lib' '--enable-sockets' '--with-regex=php' '--enable-sysvsem' '--enable-sysvshm' '--with-zlib' '--with-gnu-ld' Note that this shows that PHP SHOULD know that the pdf functions are compiled in. Changing the pdflib path causes Apache to fail to compile due to missing PDF_* functions; further evidence that the pdflib library is, indeed, being linked into Apache and PHP. When run on the sample included with pdflib, the following error is generated: Fatal error: Call to undefined function: pdf_new() in /usr/local/apache/htdocs/cjhunter/test/pdf/hello.php on line 5 Trying to bypass pdf_new() and going doing the fopen(),pdf_open() trick just results in pdf_open() being the unknown function. I can see that the module source code knows about pdf_open, and I can see that the pdf module is compiled into PHP and Apache. I just can't see why I can't call any of the pdflib functions. Any ideas? Scott Schultz scott@cjhunter.com
