PHP needs Mysql and Postgresql
« on: January 02, 2013, 05:33:09 AM »
I am trying to install a web app.  I have the MySQL extension added in my php.ini but the app checks and doesn't find mysql_connect function.  I do have the MySQL.so included as an extension in my php.ini.  The app also supports postgresql but I don't see any postgresql support or module in php.  Can these be added?

If that means you added the phrase  "mysql.tcz"  to the php.ini file, that won't work. See if this is of any help:

Maybe you need to install  postgresql.tcz ?

thanks for the reply, but I had obviously done all of that.  php -m showed MySQL.  I can't see a php lib to interface to postgresql and I do have postgresql installed.  The /usr/local/lib/php directory has no postgresql.so linrary.

Since I can't see your screen, if you don't explicitly state what you've done, it's not obvious.

Looking at this post:
http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php/topic,8645.msg46941.html#msg46941
I see:
Code: [Select]
; requires postgresql-lib.tcz
;extension=pgsql.so
I think you might want  pgsql.so  not  postgresql.so.
