CUBRID 2008 R3.0 PHP Library Build Guide

Open Source PHP Library for CUBRID Database 
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/cubridinterface)

1. Introduction

This manual mainly tells you how to build CUBRID 2008 R3.0 PHP Library with PHP 5.3/5.2 on Linux and Windows.

2. Building on Linux

In this section, we will introduce two ways of building PHP Library for CUBRID on Linux:

1. Compile CUBRID PHP Library together with original PHP source code;
2. Compile CUBRID PHP Library individually.


  Building CUBRID PHP Library on 64bit Linux

  In this section, we assume that the Linux system is 32bit. If you build CUBRID PHP Library on 
  64bit Linux, remember to install 64bit CUBRID 2008 R3.0

2.1 Configuring the Environment

  • CUBRID 2008 R3.0:
    • Install CUBRID 2008 R3.0, and make sure the Environment Variable %CUBRID% is defined in your
system;
  • PHP 5.3/5.2 source code:
    • Download PHP source code (PHP 5.2 or 5.3) from PHP.net. When we write this build guide, the latest
stable version of PHP 5.3 is 5.3.3, and PHP 5.2 is 5.2.14.
  • Apache2
    • We can use apache2 to test PHP.

    2.2 Compile PHP Library with PHP source code

     1. Extract PHP source code, and create directory cubrid under dir ext:
      $> tar zxvf php-<version>.tar.gz (or tar jxvf php-<version>tar.bz2)
  $> cd php-<version>/ext
  ext> mkdir cubrid

     2. Put the following files in CUBRID PHP Library into directory cubrid:
      cubrid-php> php_cubrid.c php_cubrid.h php_cubrid_version.h config.m4

     3. Go to the root directory of PHP source code and update the configuration file:
      php-root> ./buildconf --force 
     4. Configure the project. Before you run configure, we strongly recommend that you run "./configure -h" 
    to check the configure options. An example may be like this (we assume that apache2 has been installed in 
    /usr/local): 
      php-root>./configure --prefix=/usr/local/php -with-cubrid=shared --enable-maintainer-zts \
            --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs 
     --with-cubrid=shared 
     Include CUBRID support 
     --enable-maintainer-zts 
     Enable thread safety - for code maintainers only!!  
     --with-apxs2=FILE 
     Build shared Apache 2.0 Handler module. FILE is the optional pathname to the Apache apxs tool apxs 
     5. Build and install the package. If it was successfully compiled, the cubrid.so file will be created in the /modules directory:
      php-root> make; make install

     6. Copy php.ini-xxx (In PHP 5.2.x, they are php.ini-dist and php.ini-recommended; In PHP 5.3.x, they are php.ini-development 
    and php.ini-production; choose what you need) file to directory /usr/local/php/lib, and rename it to php.ini.
      php-root> cp php.ini- production /usr/local/php/lib/php.ini

     7. In php.ini file set the extension_dir variable and add CUBRID PHP Library to extension variable. For example:
      extension_dir = "/usr/local/php/lib/php/extension/no-debug-zts-xxx"
  extension = cubrid.so

    2.3 Compile PHP Library for CUBRID individually

     1. Download PHP Library, extract it and enter the directory:
      $> tar zxvf CUBRID-PHP-<version>.src.tar.gz
  $> cd cubrid-php-<version>

     2. Run phpize:
      cubrid-php> /usr/bin/phpize

    
  What is phpize? Where can I get it?

  phpize is a shell script to prepare PHP extension for compiling. Typically, when you install PHP, phpize will  
  be automatically installed. If it is not installed on your system, the process of get it is as follows:

  1. Download PHP source code, and make sure its version is what you want your PHP extenstion works
     with. Extract PHP source code, and enter its root directory: 

    $> tar zxvf php-<version>.tar.gz (or tar jxvf php-<version>tar.bz2)
    $> cd php-<version> 

  2. Configure the project, and build and install it. You can specify the directory you want install PHP to 
     with configure option --prefix:

    php-root> ./configure --prefix=prefix_dir; make; make install

  3. Then you can find phpize in prefix_dir/bin.


     3. Configure the project. Before you run configure, you'd better run ./configure -h to see the configure options. Forexample:
      cubrid-php> ./configure --with-cubrid --with-php-config=/usr/local/bin/php-config

     4. Build. If it was successfully compiled, the cubrid.so file will be created in the /modules directory:
      cubrid-php> make

     5. Copy cubrid.so to the extensions directory in lib/php directory which is located inside PHP root directory (/usr/local/php):
      cubrid-php> mkdir /usr/local/php/lib/php/extensions
  cubrid-php> cp modules/cubrid.so /usr/local/php/lib/php/extensions

     6. In php.ini file set the extension_dir variable and add CUBRID PHP Library to extension variable. For example:
      extension_dir = "/usr/local/php/lib/php/extensions"
  extension = cubrid.so

    2.4 Test CUBRID PHP Library Installation

     1. Create a test.php file with the following contents:
      <?php phpinfo(); ?>

     2. Use web browser to visit http://localhost/test.php, and if you see the following contents, the installation is successful.
     CUBRID 
     Value 
     Version 
     8.3.0.xxxx

    3. Building on Windows

    In this section we will introduce two ways of building PHP Library for CUBRID:

1. Compile CUBRID PHP Library with VC9 for PHP 5.3;
2. Compile CUBRID PHP Library with VC6 for PHP 5.3/5.2;

    
  Which version do I choose? (from windows.php.net)

  If you are using PHP with Apache 1 or Apache2 from apache.org you need to use the VC6 versions of PHP; 
  If you are using PHP with IIS you should use the VC9 versions of PHP; 

  VC6 Versions are compiled with the legacy Visual Studio 6 compiler; 
  VC9 Versions are compiled with the Visual Studio 2008 compiler and have improvements in performance and stability. 
  The VC9 versions require you to have the Microsoft 2008 C++ Runtime (x86) or the Microsoft 2008 C++ Runtime (x64) installed. 

  Do NOT use VC9 version with apache.org binaries

    3.1 Compile CUBRID PHP Library with VC9 for PHP 5.3

    Download CUBRID PHP Library, extract it and enter directory win, you will find Visual Studio 2008 project files
php_cubrid.sln and php_cubrid.vcproj.  Before you open the project, you should do some preparations.

      
  Note: When using CUBRID PHP VC9 Library with PHP on Windows, make sure that Microsoft Visual C++ 2008
  Redistributable Package is installed.

    3.1.1 Configuring the Environment

  • CUBRID 2008 R3.0:
    • Install CUBRID 2008 R3.0, and make sure the Environment Variable %CUBRID% is defined in your
system;
  • Visual Studio 2008:
    • You can alternately use the free Visual C++ Express Edition or the VC++ 9 compiler in the Windows SDK v6.1 
if you're a makefile master;
  • PHP 5.3 binaries:
    • You can install VC9 x86 Non Thread Safe or VC9 x86 Thread Safe, and check if the value of system environment 
variable %PHPRC% is rightly set;
    
  In the VC9 project Properties, under the Linker tree node, select the General node, you can see $(PHPRC) 
  in Additional Library Directories.

  • PHP 5.3 source code:
    • Remember to get the source that matches your binary version. After you extract the PHP 5.3 source code, 
add system environment variable %PHP5_SRC%, and set its value to the path of PHP 5.3 source code. 
    
  In the VC9 project Properties, select the General node from C/C++ tree node. You can see $(PHP5_SRC) 
  in Additional Include Directories.


    Note: You do not need to build PHP 5.3 from source, but you do need to configure it. If you don't, VC9 will 
tell you that it can't find header file config.w32.h. You can read the wiki page below to get how to configure it.

  http://wiki.php.net/internals/windows/stepbystepbuild

    3.1.2 Build VC9 Library for PHP 5.3

     1. Open VC9 project under directory win, in the Solution Explorer on the left, right click on the php_cubrid 
    project name and select Properties;

     2. On the top right corner of the php_cubrid Property Page press Configuration Manager button. In the new window, 
    select the configure you want for Active solution configuration for Configuration in the Project contexts. There are 
    four configurations (Release_TS, Release_NTS, Debug_TS and Debug_NTS).  Then close the Configuration Manager;

     3. Once you complete the properties modification, press the OK button. Then press F7 to compile;

     4. As we have built php_cubrid.dll we have to make PHP recognize it as an extension:

    a) Inside PHP installation folder create the new folder called cubrid, and copy php_cubrid.dll to cubrid folder. 
      You can also put php_cubrid.dll in %PHPRC%\ext if this directory exists.
    b) In php.ini file set the extension_dir variable and add CUBRID PHP Library to extension variable.

    3.2 Compile CUBRID PHP Library with VC6 for PHP 5.3/5.2

    Download CUBRID PHP Library, extract it and enter the directory, you will find VC6 project file php_cubrid.dsp. Before
you open the project, you should do some preparations.

    3.2.1 Configuring the Environment

  • CUBRID 2008 R3.0:
    • Install CUBRID 2008 R3.0, and make sure the Environment Variable %CUBRID% is defined in your
system;
  • Visual C++ 6.0 SP6:
    • You should install the VC++ 6.0 SP6;
  • Windows Server Feb. 2003 SDK:
    • All official releases or snaps are built using VC6 with SP6 and this SDK, and you'd better compile you extension using this SDK.
    
  If you don't install this SDK (It seems that you can no longer download it from Microsoft Download Center for free), you
  can also use VC6's default settings. But you may see errors when you compile the extension and have to fix them
  manually.

  • PHP 5.3/5.2 binaries:
    • You can install VC6 x86 Non Thread Safe or VC6 x86 Thread Safe, and check if the value of system environment 
variable %PHPRC% is rightly set;
    
  In the VC6 project, you can find $(PHPRC) in Settings->Link->Input->Additional library path

  • PHP 5.3/5.2 source code:
    • Remember to get the source that matches your binary version. After you extract the PHP source code, 
add system environment variable %PHP5_SRC%, and set its value to the path of PHP source code. 
    
  In the VC6 project, you can find $(PHP5_SRC) in Settings->C/C++->Preprocessor->Additional include directories  


    Note: If you build CUBRID PHP Library with PHP 5.3 source code, you need to configure PHP 5.3 on Windows. If you don't,
VC9 will tell you that it can't find header file config.w32.h. You can read the wiki page below to get how to configure it.

  http://wiki.php.net/internals/windows/stepbystepbuild

    3.2.2 Build VC6 Library for PHP 5.3/5.2

     1. Open VC6 project, in Build menu, select Set Active Configuration. There are four configurations
    (Win32 Release_TS, Win32 Release, Win32 Debug_TS and Win32 Debug). Choose what you want, then close the Set Active
    Project Configuration; 

     2. On the top right corner of the php_cubrid Property Page press Configuration Manager button. In the new window, 
    select the configure you want for Active solution configuration for Configuration in the Project contexts. There are 
    four configurations (Release_TS, Release_NTS, Debug_TS and Debug_NTS).  Then close the Configuration Manager;

     3. Once you complete the properties modification, press the OK button. Then press F7 to compile;

     4. As we have built php_cubrid.dll we have to make PHP recognize it as an extension:

    a) Inside PHP installation folder create the new folder called cubrid, and copy php_cubrid.dll to cubrid folder. 
      You can also put php_cubrid.dll in %PHPRC%\ext if this directory exists.

    b) In php.ini file set the extension_dir variable and add CUBRID PHP Library to extension variable.
