When you run phpinfo, one of the values it shows on the screen will be the location of the php.ini file that it is using. Also, some people have found that they need to add a trailing slash to the extension dir, mine is: extension_dir = "c:/php/ext/" Jason Minion jason.minion@xxxxxxxxxx ________________________________ From: pgsql-php-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:pgsql-php-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Parang Saraf Sent: Wednesday, June 21, 2006 12:26 AM To: pgsql-php@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [PHP] problem enabling postgres in php hello, I am working with Postgresql 8.1.3, Apache 2.0.58 and PHP 5.1.4. on windows 2k. My phpinfo is working fine. But I am not able to enable postgres support. According to phpinfo the configuration file (php.ini) path is "C:\WINNT". All my extensions are in the "C:\php\ext" dir. I modified the php.ini file situated in the C:\WINNT dir as follows : extension_dir = "C:\php\ext and also removed the ';' (semicolon) infront of the extension=php_pgsql.dll with all the other extension being blocked by semicolon. Then I restarted the comp but it is not reflecting the changes in the phpinfo. Under the "php configuration core" phpinfo is showing the extension_dir as C:\php5 and include_path as ".;C:\php5\pear". But i dont have any directory named php5. So, i created a directory named php5 in C:\ and copied all the extension dlls into it and made a folder named pear in it and copied the php.ini file in it. But it still didnt reflect any changes. I doubt that it is not reading the php,ini file from the "C:\WINNT" directory. To check that I tried changing the color code of "highlight.string" from DD0000 to FF9900. I again restarted the comp but still it didnt reflect this change too. So, i think that it is using some other php.ini file. So, i searched for the php.ini file and i found it in the following locations : C:\WINNT\ C:\php5\ So, i made the same changes everywhere including the "php.ini-dist" and "php.ini-recommended" files found in C:\php dir. But still the problem persisted. Then I removed the php.ini file from the "C:\WINNT" dir but the phpinfo still worked even without it being present in the dir. I also tried reinstalling php several times but that also didnt help. But what I found strange was that i was not able to remove the "php5ts.dll" from the C:\WINNT dir and "php5apache2.dll" from the C:\php dir. Everytime it gave an error that these files are in use. I dont have any information about these files. Do i have to modify the "System Path variable" ?? I also tried modifying that too by adding C:\php and C:\php5 in it. I also added one more system variable PHPRC with the value C:\WINNT. But still i am not able to enable the postgres with php. I think there is no compatibility issues as google search gives some phpinfo links that works with the same version of php and postgres. When i try to connect to the database it gives the error "Call to undefined function pg_connect()" which i think is obvious as phpinfo is not showing postgres in it. It would be a great help if you could figure out the error and can help me enabling the postgres in php. I have been trying for the past 3 days to enable it. Thanks a lot for spending your valuable time. Regards Parang Saraf parang.saraf@xxxxxxxxx
