Hey all,
I'd really like to start writing applications using PHP-CLI and the ncurses module. My Linux distribution installed all the good things like PHP, Apache, and MySQL.
However, after reading a bit on the net, it seems that the option --with-ncurses[=DIR] had to be on upon installation.
After trying out a test script, ncurses doesn't seem to be loaded. I get the error "Fatal error: Call to undefined function: ncurses_init() in phptest.php on line 8". Doing a "phpinfo()" seems to point to the same conclusion - there isn't "--with-ncurses" in the configure command section of the page.
Is there any way to add ncurses functionality without reinstalling PHP?
... not that reinstalling would be a bad thing considering that a later version of PHP is available.
