Chris & Paul,
Try using the new pdflib-4.0.0 .... It works great.
Here is what you have to do:
Goto: http://www.pdflib.com/pdflib/download/index.html
and download the source for unix.
Unzip and untar.
cd to pdflib-4.0.0/bind/php/ext/pdf
copy * php-4.0.4pl1/ext/pdf --- You may want to remove the current contents
of this directory first...
cd pdflib-4.0.0
configure --enable-php
make - you will get an error indicating that a makefile was not found ...
just ignore it.
make install
Link the newly created libraries to the /usr/lib directory:
ln -s /usr/local/lib/libpdf* /usr/lib
Next just rebuild PHP as normal only add --with-pdflib.
Have fun...
Dean

Subject: Re: [PHP] PHP4.0.4pl1+PdfLib3.03+SCO
Guys,
I've admitted defeat and set up a Redhat 6.0 box which runs the web site and
talks to the SCO server as a database server. I'm doing this for a large
client
who wants a "Business Card Generator" on his site and PDF seems to be the
best
way to go as the printer wants a PDF file with the info to print on his
shells
(pre-printed sheets).
Tried to make this work about a year ago, PHP on Redhat talking to an
Informix
database on SCO, and failed miserably. Took about 15 minutes this time - I
read
the error messages!
The secret was that, even though DBPATH was set on the SCO machine it wasn't
being read by the Linux box. I modified the connect statement to the db to
include the DBPATH - hey presto!
$dbh = ifx_connect("/dbpath/dbname@dbserver", "userid", "password");
Performance is pretty good as well.
For this client this is actually the optimum solution, the SCO box was
running a
National e-commerce solution and acting as a dbserver for his internal sales
organisation as well. This takes the load off the SCO box and probably
provides
some extra security as well.
If you would like more info let me know.
