My php env is apache 2.0, php 5.2, informix 09.40 1) download php_ifx.dll from php home page （search with pecl-5.2 Win32）, put php_ifx.dll in your php extension dir , in my case c:\php\ext . 2) in php.ini add follows : extension=php_ifx.dll 3) download informix cdsk 3.0TC for windows from ibm, install it and then run your php app which has informix connect operation, if apache server has a error dialog, then restart computer(because installation add a system variable path : C:\Program Files\IBM\Informix\Client-SDK\bin), after restart confirm this error not occure again. (in this step php page finally error with "sqlstate = IX 000 sqlcode= -25560" because of informix server not set, we will solute it in next step) 4) run C:\Program Files\IBM\Informix\Client-SDK\bin\setnet32.exe change the values by following 4)-1 Tab Server Information IBM Informix Server : informix server name HostName : informix server ip address Protocolname : onsoctcp ServiceName : informix server port 4)-2 Host Information Current Host : informix server ip address then click OK 5) run your php app, then you can do any ifx_xxxxx informix db operation.
