RE: Postgres with php3

WOLF, PATRICK <patrick.wolf@aerojet.com> — 2000-06-21T15:18:02Z

I use apache, php3 and postgresql 6.5.3 on a RedHat 6.1 system.  I installed
the plain vanilla apache code from RPM, installed the plain vanilla
postgresql from RPM.  Then you have to install the PHP3 *source* RPM, modify
the build file and re-roll the RPM with postgresl support.  It was really a
piece of cake.  There are specific instructions on www.php.net
<http://www.php.net>  (http://www.php.net/FAQ.php#5.3
<http://www.php.net/FAQ.php#5.3> ) .

		I haven't played with apache so am not sure what php3 is.
But I'm sure you
		first need to get postgres running. Go to /usr/doc/ and read
the README
		under your version of postgres. It tells you how to turn on
postgres and
		get the postmaster running. You want it to turn on each time
you boot
		Linux. 

		Now read about php3 and see how it interfaces....

I installed Red Hat 6.2 and these all worked together out of the box.

Hey Tony,

You got any PHP scripts I could have a look at?  I'm a perl guy myself
but I am curious how the other half lives!

Cheers,
Tom
