This is a really basic question, I know, but I'm on a shared host, so I don't want to pay to have anything installed unless I absolutely have to.
I'm trying to connect to a remote Informix 7.3 db with PHP 4.3.10 on Apache 2.0.50 on Linux. I'm told that PHP needs to be compiled as a cgi binary with the informix extension.
My question is: do I also need to have the Informix SDK installed on the web host, even though I'm not connecting to a local database?
Sorry... can't seem to find any info about this particular setup...
