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.
so the extension is not being loaded automatically right?
but if you dl() it everything is fine, right?
then double check the 'right' ini file is being used!
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)
personally I avoided this version of php like the plague - I would
suggest a diff. version just to rule out the possibility that 5.0.5
is the problem...
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
what is: --enable-maintainer-zts ?
have you tried stripping you configure line further to see if
that helps? i.e. remove everything apart from what you need to
run the specific code that relies on the perl extension. just to
see if removing something causes the perl extension to work
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
--------------
is the apache module using the php.ini that you think it is ?? -
that kind of thing has caught me out more than once!
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;
}
?>
