Fatal error: Call to undefined function: ifx_pconnect() in c:\inetpub\cv_php\nbudbifx

[mdavid]

I'm trying to set-up PHP to connect to an informix database. Whenever I run the script below:

ifx_pconnect("mydb@dbname","dbusr",dbpwd");

I get, Fatal error: Call to undefined function: ifx_pconnect() in c:\inetpub\cv_php\nbudbifx.php on line 8

Also, I get a pop message like:

PHP Warning: Unknown(): Unable to load dynamic library 'c:\inetpub\scripts\extensions\php_ifx.dll' - The specified module could not be found. in Unknown on line 0

This is really frustrating. Is there anybody who is familiar in setting up IIS, PHP, and Informix Environment?

first off, you should use apache and mysql or postgresql

anyways, you followed all the setup instructions right except for getting the library file php_ifx.dll...

in your php.ini you need to say where it is... you probably have it somewhere else than 'c:\inetpub\scripts\extensions\php_ifx.dll' that file is what will provide php with the function you need, so if the engine can't find the library you don't get the function.
