[Monetdb-developers] php_monetdb.dll
Hi I want to be able to use all the SQL related functions using PHP on monetdb. As far as I understand, the newer versions of monetdb state that the PHP interface is completely written in PHP and need not be built. Is this interface same as the php_mapi.in and the php_monetdb.php? If so, I haven't seen any support for all the SQL related function like query_params. Please correct me if I am wrong. I am new to MonetDB. I had initially stumbled upon one of the old server reference manuals which had indicated of an option to build monetdb for php_monetdb.dll php extension. But then I started off with the incorrect version of the source (the tarball) and hit all sorts of errors. Then I was told to use the HG version. At which point I checked the windowsbuild.rst which stated that the PHP need not be built. So I just needed a confirmation whether building php_monetdb.dll is supported even in the latest releases or I need to make use of the php_monetdb.php file or there's any other way of getting all the SQL related functions? If php_monetdb.php is the answer, please let me know how to make use of it.
Thank you Suchitra
Suchitra,
I know nothing about PHP, so I cannot answer that part of your question.
However, I'd like to point out that the latest released source tarball (cf., http://dev.monetdb.org/downloads/sources/Latest/) is everything but an "incorrect version". Rather, it's the recommended version for users that need/want to build MonetDB from source on any Unix-like platform. However, building MonetDB from source on Windows is (currently?) only supported with the HG sources. In fact, we strongly recommend to use binary installers on Windows (cf., http://dev.monetdb.org/downloads/Windows/Latest/), unless you really need to build from source (and hence are familiar with this). If you use the HG sources, we strongly recommend to checkout the latest release tag (currently "Jul2012_release"), or at least the head of the latest release branch (currently "Jul2012").
Kind regards, Stefan

Hi Stefan
I am sorry, but I did not mean to say that the latest version was incorrect. I meant that it was not the right source to build from, on windows. If there is any other place I could hunt for the answer please do let me know.
Thank you Suchitra

The only php "driver" we provide is the native one. If it lacks functionality, file feature requests, preferably with patch.

Why do you want to build on Windows? Why don't you use the Windows installer?
Since our PHP connection does not need to be built, you don't need to build the rest of MonetDB in order to use it.
Note that the PHP implementation needs socket support built into the PHP interpreter, and I believe that the PHP installer you can download from php.net doesn't provide that.
