Hi I am unable to call perl code from PHP, since the extension does not get loaded ! Scenario 1: use dl('perl.so'); in the php code and invoke the script from the command line The script works fine and the perl code gets executed as well. Scenario 2: the perl extension does not get loaded and the PHP script crashes. I have read the article http://www.zend.com/php5/articles/php5-perl.php If anybody has faced this issue, please share how you solved the problem ? Thanks in advance. ---- Here are the environment Details: RHEL 4.0 PHP 5.0.5 (self compiled) PECL/PERL package checked out from CVS PHP 5.0.5 compilation details --------------------------- ./configure --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs --with-mysql=/usr/bin/mysql_config --with-mysqli=/usr/bin/mysql_config --with-openssl-dir=/usr/local/ssl --with-libxml-dir=/usr/lib --enable-soap --enable-sockets --enable-sqlite-utf8 --enable-wddx --with-gnu-ld --with-gd --with-jpeg-dir=/usr/local/lib --with-png-dir=/usr/local/lib --with-zlib-dir=/usr/local/lib --with-gd=/usr/local --enable-gd-native-ttf --enable-maintainer-zts --with-pear make make install pecl/perl package compilation details ------------------------- export PHP_PREFIX="/usr/local" export PERL_PREFIX="/usr" echo $PHP_PREFIX echo $PERL_PREFIX $PHP_PREFIX/bin/phpize ./configure --with-perl=$PERL_PREFIX --with-php-config=$PHP_PREFIX/bin/php-config make make install entries in php.ini file -------------- extension_dir = "/usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-zts-20041030/" extension=perl.so sample test code is as follows - <?php if (!extension_loaded('perl')) { print "perl extension not loaded"; exit; } ?> -- Dev. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
