I've downloaded the aolserver src both directly and via the Debian source package, but cannot get php-5.1.1 to build:

Perhaps I am simply an idiot (would not be the first time) but something "no longer works".

  • I only ever tested this against PHP 4.3.7 -- I don't know what is required to make it work with PHP 5.1.1. If you figure it out, please update the page. -- Dossy 12:05, 7 December 2005 (EST)
    • I opened a PHP bug issue for this: [1] --Caveman 14:05, 8 December 2005 (EST)
      • This may be an issue more with the way Debian 3.1 installs AOLServer 4 than anything else. The "proper" PHP configure command should be:
./configure --with-aolserver=/path/to/installed/aolserver

Debian 3.1 configures AOLServer with a prefix of "/usr/lib/aolserver4". However, using this as the "/path/to/installed/aolserver" results in the same error and a request for "--with-aolserver-src".

        • I configured and installed aolserver4 from source into "/home/sam/aolserver". PHP configure finally completed successfully. However, PHP compile still failed:

This was obviously an error finding "tcl.h". I manually edited the PHP "Makefile" and set:

EXTRA_INCLUDES = -I/usr/include/tcl8.4

This allowed PHP compilation to complete. The module loaded successfully and PHP scripts work as expected. --Caveman 19:05, 8 December 2005 (EST)

extending PHP to take advantage of AOLServer

http://aolserver.org/docs/devel/c/api/c-ch3.htm#37064

proposal: write a PHP extension to provide PHP functions to access AOLServer database pools (and perhaps other important features like shared memory).

In other words, provide PHP functions:

ns_db_gethandle
ns_db_select

And so on. It should be nearly trivial to do this, and give PHP on AOLServer a very powerful advantage over PHP on Apache.
