Re: [PHP] Recompile PHP on pre-installed system
Great, I'll do it that way. That sounds easier than what I was attempting to
do. Thanks!

you can use php-odbc make sure you have unixODBC or like install on
the system, once you do that its a piece of cake, been doing that here
for a few months.

Re: [PHP] Recompile PHP on pre-installed system
Yes, we are using RHE 4 with a support contract. I need to get db2 support
compiled in so we can access our AS400 using ODBC. _

If you're using a Redhat Enterprise version with a support contract then I
personally don't think you should attempt to run a non-redhat php binary.
Instead find out how redhat make their php-mysql or php-ldap or
php-{some_other_php_module} rpm, Make an RPM, and install it like you would
any other RPM.
Better still would be to upgrade to Debian( they have more php modules I
believe than RH), but that would require much more downtime than an apache
restart.
What module do you need?

You can edit those srpms to include whatever configure line switches
you need.
I run RHEL4, and my own compile of PHP, set up outside of rpm. You
only need to worry about rpm getting confused if you use it to
install any packages that are dependent on php, e.g. squirrelmail.
Essentially either do ALL of your PHP setup and install through rpm
or none of it. I'm quite happy handling PHP myself, and conflicts are
rare as php is rarely a dependency for apps installed through rpm.
