I already have PHP 5.4 installed in a CentOS 7 VPS. I am trying now to access a legacy database in .mdb format with a PHP script.
However, my phpinfo() page says that only mysql and sqlite PDO drivers are enabled. No driver named ODBC is enabled.
Which is why I have tried to follow this tutorial to get that to work. But it doesn't work. bash: ./configure: No such file or directory.
I don't know from which folder I have to run the commands listed there. Is there a command which will allow me to install the PDO ODBC drivers from the system e.g. yum -y install php_odbc which would be easier for me to work with? If not, what am I doing wrong?
Looks like php_odbc is one of CentOS 7 packages.
See http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7/os/x86_64/Packages/ it is a very long list.
So yum -y install php_odbc should work. Just don't forget to restart your web-server if required.
You would run ./configure ... if you were compiling PHP from source. It will not work in your case.

So basically I have been always developing with PHP under Windows with the WAMP package and I never had any trouble.
Now, I am trying to transition to Linux (Mint). Everything is well, except for the PDO extension which cannot find the MySQL driver. In fact, it states not having any available drivers at all.
First, I installed Apache:
sudo apt-get install apache2
Then, PHP:
sudo apt-get install php5
MySQL for PHP (I am not exactly sure this was required):
sudo apt-get install php5-mysql
Finally, the command line interface for PHP:
sudo apt-get install php5-cli
Note that I had installed MySQL a while ago for other purposes.
Everything else is working well. The server starts, runs, executes scripts. I am also able to create an instance of PDO, but then it throws a PDOException stating that it cannot find the MySQL driver. The code is typical of a PDO initialization :
$pdo = new PDO("mysql:host=127.0.0.1;db=testdb", "root", "");
I looked at the phpinfo() and for the value PDO I see no drivers. However, I see the line MySQL driver for PDO followed by the names of its authors, but I cannot tell if it guarantees the presence of the driver. Notice that I also see the authors of all the other drivers (SQLite, PostgreSQL, Oracle, etc.).
The command php -m (which, according to the php --help, lists all modules compiled with PHP) also clearly indicates that both PDO and pdo_mysql are installed.
My search returned a lot of results about the extensions pdo.so and pdo-mysql.so. I have been trying to reference them into the php.ini file without success. It would probably have a higher chance of success if I actually had these files, but so far I have been unable to find them.
So, here we are, about five hours later, with me being completely stuck.
Thank you.
Today some of my packages in Ubuntu was upgraded automatically, and I didn't think of what was actually going on.
Ever since the update, my local dev-environment doesn't work anymore. First of by not working was mod_rewrite which I had to enable again using a2enmod. But now I've run into an issue that I can't seem to resolve. My application can't seem to find the PDO MySQL driver. When running the application, I get the error failed to open the DB connection: could not find driver.
This is strange, since if I check the phpinfo() the PDO drivers do support MySQL, and the socket path is a valid path.
pdo_mysql client API version is 5.5.35 according to php info.
PHP5: 5.5.3
MySQL: 5.5.35
Connectionstring
mysql:host=127.0.0.1;dbname=MyDB;port=3306
What could be causing this?
The PHP MySQL driver (mysql.so/mysqli.so) and the PHP PDO MySQL driver (pdo_mysql.so) are two separate modules. You need both of them for PDO functionality with MySQL.
It is quite possible that one of them is missing or of an incompatible version - I do not have an Ubuntu system at hand, but on my RPM-based Linux distribution there is a separate package for each module (php-mysql/php-mysqli and php-pdo_mysql). I also expect PDO to be using the newer mysqli.so driver, rather than the obsolete mysql.so one, so you should verify that one is installed as well.
Try this:
sudo apt-get install -y php5-mysql php5 mysql-client
This should automatically restart your apache if any of the dependencies aren't installed.
Try using vagrant.
Dependencies can be isolated, upgraded and downgraded when you like.
Vagrant
I'm trying to install mongodb in a PHP environment. MongoDB itself is installed fine, I've run pecl install mongo, and added extension=mongo.so to php.ini; but my Laravel application complains that it can't find the class MongoClient. Checking phpinfo() reveals no mention of Mongo, suggesting that it isn't aware of the driver.
I noticed that all the instructions for installing mongo on Ubuntu mention apt-get install php5-dev. Is that a requirement for the mongodb php driver? At the moment the server is built with Chef and installs php with apache2::mod_php5. If php5-dev is required, can it be installed as an apache module?
Yeah you should as stated by docs here http://docs.mongodb.org/ecosystem/drivers/php/
Also if its unable to find mongo drivers ,Try debugging , check logs if it says something like mongo.so file is missing.
Don't forget to restart php and apache after saving php.ini
I'm trying to get the latest Mongo Driver to work with MAMP 1.9.6 on OS X 10.5.8.
I built it successfully from source since it seems that there are no pre-compiled releases, included it into the right directory and restarted the apache.
But PHP doesn't recognize the extension. I used the 1.0.11 driver previously which worked fine, but I need the new version, because Doctrines ODM requires it.
When I replace the 1.2.10 mongo.so with the 1.0.11 and restart apache mongo is available. I don't get what could be wrong.
Anyone had this behaviour or any guesses to get this to work?
Update: The PHP error log shows the following:
[01-Jun-2012 22:02:37] PHP Warning: PHP Startup: mongo: Unable to initialize module
Module compiled with module API=20060613
PHP compiled with module API=20090626
These options need to match
in Unknown on line 0
I'm not quite sure what it means?
2. Update:
I was finally able to sync the API version of phpize.
But now I'm not able to build the driver anymore.
I do the following:
phpize
./configure
make
sudo make install
But at the make command I'm getting tons of syntax errors. Seems that it can't find several header files.
The very first one is the zend_config.h and really I just have those other two files:
zend_config.nw.h
zend_config.w32.h
I downloaded the MAMP components to get this files. Why am I missing this one? And there are a lot of others.
I'm using PHP 5.3.5 Is there a way to get those header files from a different source?
I followed the instructions at Develop MongoDB web apps with MAMP under Mac OS X to successfully build mongo.so for MAMP with php 5.3 on OS X 10.7.3.
I'm adding this for historical purposes -- I guarantee that if you're having the same set of problems, you'll want to do this.
Personally, I had a really difficult time getting MAMP's php version to play nicely with the extension builds that I was trying to make.
I discovered that the problem was that MAMP really hadn't been set up to add extensions in general, and during the compilation of the mongo php drivers, it wasn't installing it in the right place -- so I followed the following tutorial on preparing MAMP for additional pecl and pear extensions.
After following those steps to prepare MAMP for adding extensions, you can easily install any extension.
At the part where it starts talking about adding an extension, use sudo pecl install mongo and restart apache from your MAMP interface.
I ran into the same problem when upgrading from PHP 5.3 to 5.4 and was able to solve it by following these steps:
Make sure to upgrade php5-cli as well as just php5 and php5-common
Uninstall the mongo drive
sudo pecl uninstall mongo
Re-install the mongo driver
sudo pecl install mongo
I am trying to install MongoDB with PHP5.2 on CentOS. When I run phpinfo() it says Mongo is not installed. I believe the PHP is working fine. I installed MongoDB, and I can enter the shell. I did pecl install Mongo, says it was completed and installed properly. I add a mongo.ini file which is extension=mongo.so. I can go to /usr/lib64/php/modules/ and mongo.so is there. Is there anything I am forgetting? I have restarted both HTTPD and Mongod services.
The only thing I did for mongo driver 1.2.9 to work with php was
$ cd mongodb-php-driver-folder
$ phpize
$ ./configure
$ sudo make install
At the end of php.ini, add
extension=mongo.so
Restart apache.
If something like an undefined symbol is showing up, it means that the source didn't compile properly. However, "Z_DEFLREF_P" is not part of the Mongo PHP Driver source code (in the latest version). Are you sure the error doesn't mention "Z_DELREF_P"?
Right now, that is indeed a bug in the 1.2.9 version of the driver. It doesn't compile with PHP 5.2 right now. I've added a ticket at https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/PHP-335
Use the 1.2.7 mongo driver for php and you shouldn't have an issue compiling.
