the PHP project does not compile Windows binaries for PECL extensions.
However, to compile PHP under Windows see the chapter titled building
PHP for Windows."



Small world: that chapter "Building PHP for Windows" is exactly why I sent a message yesterday to the php-windows list asking where the most uptodate instructions are for building PHP with VC 9 on Windows (that chapter has broken links to the build tools, and the Wiki page, http://wiki.php.net/internals/windows/stepbystepbuild, is incomplete). So it seems we're in limbo for building!


Unfortunately months later I am back at the same problem I reported months ago and the same wiki 'stepbystep' page is incomplete :(

The guys in the IRC chat room (#php-dev-win on freenode.net) are editing the page now with additions (http://wiki.php.net/internals/windows/stepbystepbuild)...thanks everyone!

There is an article in the May 2009 edition of php|Architect magazine
[1] which I've successfully used to build PHP. It covers installing
VC9 (I used the Express Edition) and the 6.1SDK.

It was REALLY REALLY simple to follow. None of the "copy this file to
there", "edit this and that" stuff. The new build process works very
well (my opinion based upon the limited use I've made of it so far).

You may recognize one of the co-authors!

Regards,

Richard Quadling.

the dBase extension has been removed because the extension was no longer 
maintained actively. If there is a demand for dbase support with PHP 5.3, a 
PECL package will be created [1].
If you need to switch, please contact the developers on the PECL mailing list 
[2].

Hi Sacha,

I just built php (with the great instructions at http://wiki.php.net/internals/windows/stepbystepbuild) and my only missing extension is dbase...but the PECL instructions for compiling point back to the same PHP compiling instructions...so my question is how to compile the PECL dbase extension on Windows. I will ask on the PECL mailing list.

With the help of Pierre in the #php-dev-win IRC channel (on freenode.net), I used the 'Quick n dirty' steps listed here http://wiki.php.net/internals/windows/stepbystepbuild and then here were the rest of my steps:

**********
Adding PECL extensions (using 'dbase' as an example):

  - cd C:\php-sdk\php53dev\vc9\x86
  - get the dbase extension code through Subversion
  - svn co http://svn.php.net/repository/pecl/dbase/trunk pecl/dbase
  - cd php5.3-xyz
  - buildconf
  - executing 'configure --help' should now contain a dbase option
  - configure --enable-cli --enable-dbase
  - nmake
  - test the binary with a 'php -m' command, to make sure dbase exists
**********

Hopefully this helps someone else in the future!

Suddenly I thinking about ODBC.. how about using ODBC to help reading dbase?

jeff:
Is there a limit or something if you using ODBC for your source?

In my case I maintain an installer that contains several old applications (relying on the dbase functions), so instead of modifying all that code (that I don't know a thing about) I'll just use the PECL:dbase extension.
