Subject how to get php-cgi and firebird working
Author td_bur
I've gotten firebird working with Apache and PHP 5.1.4 without any
problems. My only problem now is getting the php cgi that compiles
with PHP working with firebird.

I need the php-cgi because we have a script that is going to be run
by cron to sync a mysql database with firebird. I've read that I need
to compile pdo_firebird when I compile php and i've done that using
the pdo_firebird that ships with the php 5.1.4 source.

I've executed php-cgi -m and don't see pdo_firebird. Checking the
phpinfo page I made for apache shows that pdo_firebird is enabled at
least on the apache side.

Does anyone have an idea on how to get php-cgi working with firebird?


Below is what i've compiled php with:
