Installing CUBRID PHP Driver using PECL

If PECL packager is installed in your system, the installation of CUBRID PHP Driver is straightforward. PECL will download and compile the library for you.

Requirements

To install the PHP Driver using PECL, you need to have CUBRID Database installed in your system since PHP Driver is dependent on CUBRID CCI API.

Installation

Type the following command to install the latest version of CUBRID PHP Driver.

sudo pecl install cubrid

If you need older version of the driver, you can indicate its exact version like:

sudo pecl install cubrid-8.3.0.0005

During the installation you will be prompted to enter "CUBRID base install dir [autodetect] :". Just to make sure your installation goes smoothly, enter the full path to the directory where you have installed CUBRID. Ex: if CUBRID was installed at /home/cubridtest/CUBRID, then enter /home/cubridtest/CUBRID.

a) If you have Centos 6.0 and above or Fedora 15 and above, then do not edit the php.ini as stated in step b and instead create a file named cubrid.ini in which you add only the line extension=cubrid.so. This file has to be placed in the /etc/php.d folder.

b) Edit the php.ini (default location: /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini or /etc/php.ini) and add the following two lines at the end of the file.

[CUBRID] extension=cubrid.so

To apply the changes, restart your Web Server.

What If I don't have PECL installed?

If you do not have PECL installed, follow these instructions to get it installed in your system.

Ubuntu Instructions

In order to install CUBRID-PHP API on Ubuntu, you will need PHP Development Tools (phpize) and pear packager.

• Type the following command to install phpize: 
  

  sudo apt-get install php5-dev

  sudo apt-get install php-pear

Then follow the above instructions to install CUBRID PHP Driver.

Fedora/CentOS Instructions
