Hi all,

I've been pulling my hair out all day trying to install either PDFLib or ClibPDF on my system here - Windows 98, Apache, MySQL, PHP4 - but i can't get either program to run.....

The php site suggests i (simply!) add
--enable-shared-pdflib in the ./configure file. But this is only cited if you have a Unix system and I don't even have a configure file anywhere.

I've downloaded every possible version on ClibPDF and PDFlib but none of them has any sensible, easy to understand installation instructions - eventually got both to install (i think) but now can't configure php to run it.....

Please help - the rest of my workplace is sweating on me getting this up and running....

Many many many thanks,
Sarah

    If there's anyone where you work that know even a moderate amount about unix, then see if they can help you build a redhat6.2/php/apache/libpdf/mysql|postgresql box.

    It just kind of falls together so to speak. Plus it will be stable and powerful enough for your whole company to use, whereas a win98 box isn't really a good choice for a web server that a lot of people will be using.

    Barring that, you will find lots of little headaches using Windows, since PHP, Apache, and pdflib are all pretty much designed for Unix first, and windows second.

      i got pdflib running under win by uncommenting this line in my php.ini:

      ;extension=php_pdf.dll

      =>

      extension=php_pdf.dll

      newer php-versions ship with the extension
