PHP module install

[lightborne]

Trying to install PDFLib on my server, I did "pear install pdflib," restarted httpd, and it doesn't show up in phpinfo()

I will pay someone to troubleshoot this.

As far as I know pear modules never show up in phpinfo().

You can list them with

pear list

from shell.

 

[lightborne]

[root@as psa]# pear list
Installed packages:
===================
Package Version State
Archive_Tar 1.1 stable
Console_Getopt 1.2 stable
HTML_Template_IT 1.1 stable
Net_UserAgent_Detect 2.0.1 stable
PEAR 1.3.5 stable
XML_RPC 1.3.1 stable
pdflib 2.0.4 stable

OK so everything looks fine there, but when I go to my PHP script...

"Fatal error: Call to undefined function: pdf_new() in /home/httpd/..." etc, etc

 

[CoKo]

Maybe you forgot the

require 'pdflib';

??

Just a guess. If not - is there anything in the error log when you open the PHP file?

 

[lightborne]

Hmm... weird error in the log:

PHP Warning: Unknown(): Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php4/pdf.so' - /usr/lib/php4/pdf.so: undefined symbol: php_sprintf in Unknown on line 0
PHP Warning: Unknown(): Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php4/pgsql.so' - libpq.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0

Try to locate pdf.so on your server:

updatedb
locate pdf.so

 

[lightborne]

[root@as root]# locate pdf.so
/usr/lib/php4/pdf.so
/usr/local/lib/libpdf.so.5
/usr/local/lib/libpdf.so.5.0.1
/usr/local/lib/libpdf.so
/usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20020429/pdf.so
/root/PDFlib/libs/pdflib/.libs/libpdf.so.5.0.1
/root/PDFlib/libs/pdflib/.libs/libpdf.so.5
/root/PDFlib/libs/pdflib/.libs/libpdf.so

 

[CoKo]

looking at PEAR pdflib, it has nothing to do with those warnings.

Once again: Did you use the require in your PHP script? Does it throw an error (on screen or in logs)?

 

[lightborne]

Warning: main(pdflib): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/httpd/vhosts/lightborne/httpdocs/include/lib.php on line 3

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required 'pdflib' (include_path='.:/usr/share/pear') in /home/httpd/vhosts/lightborne/httpdocs/include/lib.php on line 3

 

[CoKo]

Can you please post the result of

ls -al /usr/share/pear

There's nothing fresh installed in /usr/share/pear - I fear your installation failed.

try

pear uninstall pdflib
pear install pdflib

and watch if there are any error messages!
In addition: I think the PEAR package pdflib is no longer maintained - you can't get it for newer versions of PEAR. Maybe you should look for other options...
