(ESQL has to be installed - ClientSDK should be for free). You have to configure PHP as follows: (look at configure --help + INSTALL.DSO) php-source-dir/.configure (...other options) --with-informix=/opt/informix (if it is there) (the $INFORMIXDIR must be set.) make make install I prefer to build apache with dynamic module loading (mod_so). So you can use apxs to load php into apache. With this option, you only have to compile the modules and copy them to the apache/libexec-directory. -> You need not to recompile apache after changes in the modules. see php-source-dir/INSTALL.DSO. The Informix-LIBs should be in /usr/lib (otherwise apache cannot start up). Hope that helps, Martin Gutjahr
