Configuring the Environment

• cubrid 2008 R4.3:
  Install CUBRID 2008 R4.3, and make sure the Environment Variable %CUBRID% is defined in your system;
• PHP 5.3/5.4 source code:
  Download PHP source code (PHP 5.3 or 5.4) from PHP.net. When we update this build guide, the latest stable version of PHP 5.3 is 5.3.21, and PHP 5.2 is 5.4.11.
• Apache2:
  We can use apache2 to test PHP;

Compile PHP Library for CUBRID individually

1. Download PHP Library(http://www.cubrid.org/downloads), extract it and enter the directory. Take CUBRID-PHP5-8.4.3.0001.src.tar.gz for example.

$> tar zxvf CUBRID-PHP5-8.4.3.0001.src.tar.gz;
$> cd RB-8.4.3

2. Run phpize

cubrid-php> /usr/bin/phpize

3. Configure the project. Before you run configure, you'd better run "./configure –h" to see the configure options. For example:

cubrid-php> ./configure --with-cubrid --with-php-config=/usr/local/bin/php-config

4. Build. If it was successfully compiled, the cubrid.so file will be created in the ./modules directory:

cubrid-php> make

5. Copy cubrid.so to the extensions directory in lib/php directory which is located inside PHP root directory (/usr/local/php):

cubrid-php> mkdir /usr/local/php/lib/php/extensions 
cubrid-php> cp modules/cubrid.so /usr/local/php/lib/php/extensions

6. In php.ini file set the extension_dir variable and add CUBRID PHP Library to extension variable. For example:

extension_dir = "/usr/local/php/lib/php/extensions"
extension = cubrid.so

Test CUBRID PHP Library Installation

1. Create a test.php file with the following contents:

<?php phpinfo(); ?>

2. Use web browser to visit http://localhost/test.php, and if you see the following contents, the installation is successful.
