#40603 [NEW]: informix moved to PECL

[kprzemek at coig dot katowice dot pl]

From: kprzemek at coig dot katowice dot pl
Operating system: RHEL 4
PHP version: 5.2.1
PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request
Bug description: informix moved to PECL

Description:
------------
Hello
I guess why in the php5.2.1 the current support for the driver for
Informix DB has been changed. I can't switch to php5.2.1, because there
is no --with-informix in the compilation options. 90% of my applications
are mission critical and Informix DB based. I use AdoDB and native
functions. How I'm supposed to tell our developers that they would have to
rewrite the application and change all the instructions e.g.: ifx_connect,
etc for PDO. This is the worst fitcher I have ever heard!!!! I'm sure I'm
not the only one with this problem, because IBM Informix is used by
millions of peole all over the world. I need your help in order to compile
php5.2.1 with --with-informix option if "...are strongly encouraged to
upgrade to it as soon as possible..."
I have no options to compile it!!!
Regards Przemek

I installed from PECL but in the PECL there is only PDO version, which
means I can't use ifx_connect, ifx_query,etc. but PDO(informix:...),
query(); Shall I rewrite the application?

It works. Thanks for your help. I had some problems with rebuild
configure script but it works. I hope that Informix in its next version
shall be available not only in PDO!
