[PHP-DEV] dbx question - specifying a port for pgsql
Hello, We have been using dbx here at work, and it seems that it could be a very useful tool, since we use several DBMSs. However, on one of our servers, we have to run Postgres on a port other than 5432. After reading the documentation and finding nothing there, I took a look at the source, and noticed that the port is hardcoded. I was wondering if there are any plans to allow the spefication of a port via the dbx_connect funtion. It looks to me that in dbx_mysql.c, you can use the MySQL host:port/host:socket syntax. Is there any possibility that this syntax or a variation of it could be used throughout dbx?

RE: [PHP-DEV] dbx question - specifying a port for pgsql
Hi, However, on one of our servers, we have to run Postgres on a port other than 5432. It looks to me that in dbx_mysql.c, you can use the MySQL host:port/host:socket syntax. Is there any possibility that this syntax or a variation of it could be used throughout dbx? You can indeed use the 'host:port' for mysql, as this is an accepted input for the mysql_connect hostname. However, that syntax would not work for any of the other databases. Since the default pgsql portnumber is 5432 and that is the value that is hardcoded in dbx_pgsql.c, wouldn't it be easier to just remove this part of the connection-string from the c-file? That makes the patch trivial, while allowing you to set the portnumber with environment variables (PGPORT=7890). Since you read the source I assume you can compile it too, so you could easily test if this works for you (I do not have a running postgresql here, so testing is difficult), on systems with both a default portnumber and an alternative portnumber. Any comments on this solution instead of a host:port syntax? Cheerio, Marc. -- PHP Development Mailing List http://www.php.net/ To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Does anyone off hand know if dbx is supported in php version 4.0.6? It is, but Frontbase (since 4.1.0) or Sybase-CT (cvs only until the next release) support were not available back then.

[PHP-DEV] dbx module (database abstraction) available
Hi! The dbx module (database abstraction module in C, supports ODBC and MySQL (for now :-)) is available at http://www.guidance.nl/php/dbx/ Source is available in zip and tar.gz formats. Documentation (both user docs and docs about extending the database support) is also available is zip and tar.gz, as well as online in html-format. I've also put up a precompiled Win32 dll, but I don't think that will find much use because the module API number of the dll and php must match... If you have the time and/or inclination to give it a try, let me know what you think and how it can be improved. Enjoy! Cheerio, Marc.
