Re: compiling informix IDS with PHP

The 4.4.4 version is still in the majority of installations, and has pretty much everything you'd most likely need, unless you need more OO kind of stuff. Try 4.4.4 and see if you get the same problems that you had with 5.x . Happy Holidays! -DE-

While attempting to compile PHP 4.4.4 may be helpful in isolating the problem, using PHP4 for a new project is IMHO a bad idea. PHP5 has several advantages over PHP4 beyond the OOP kind of stuff, not the least of which is PDO, which finally introduced a standardized database API and parametrized queries, something that Python has had for many years. (Did I mention I like Python? ;) I maintain a "legacy" PHP4 application, and whenever I have to make changes to it, I wish I had the time to port it to PHP5. Of course you can get the job done in PHP4, but I cringe at the notion that somebody would choose PHP4 instead of PHP5 for a new project.
