Configuring the Environment

• cubrid 2008 R3.1:
  Install CUBRID 2008 R3.1, and make sure the Environment Variable %CUBRID% is defined in your system;
• PHP 5.3/5.2 source code:
  Download PHP source code (PHP 5.2 or 5.3) from PHP.net. When we write this build guide, the latest stable version of PHP 5.3 is 5.3.3, and PHP 5.2 is 5.2.14.
• Apache2:
  We can use apache2 to test PHP;

Compile PHP Library with PHP source code

1. Extract PHP source code, and create directory cubrid under dir ext:

$> tar zxvf php-<version>.tar.gz (or tar jxvf php-<version>.tar.bz2)
$> cd php-<version>/ext
ext> mkdir cubrid

2. Put the following files in PHP Library into directory cubrid:

cubrid-php> php_cubrid.c php_cubrid.h php_cubrid_version.h config.m4

3. Go to the root directory of PHP source code and update the configuration file:

php-root> ./buildconf --force

4. Configure the project. Before you run configure, we strongly recommend that you run "./configure –h" to check the configure options.
An example may be like this (we assume that apache2 has been installed in /usr/local):

php-root>./configure --prefix=/usr/local/php -with-cubrid=shared --enable-maintainer-zts --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs

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

php-root> make; make install

6. Copy php.ini-xxx (In PHP 5.2.x, they are php.ini-dist and php.ini-recommended; In PHP 5.3.x, they are php.ini-development and php.ini-production; choose what you need) file to directory /usr/local/php/lib, and rename it to php.ini.

php-root> cp php.ini- production /usr/local/php/lib/php.ini

7. 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/extension/no-debug-zts-xxx"
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.
