Installing the Extension Module for PHP

The extension module for PHP is an optional installation component when you choose Custom as the installation type. The extension is installed by default if the installation type you choose is Typical or Full.

This is an overview of the extension module installation; for complete installation instructions, see the Software Developers Kit and Open Server Installation Guide for your platform.

• Pre-installation requirements:
  • PHP installation 5.3.6 – 64-bit only.
  • Open Client SDK is required. The DBCAPI library is included in the Open Client SDK and is installed together with the core Open Client (CT-Library).

  Do not install DBCAPI as part of the driver.

• The extension module for PHP is installed as a PHP extension in a dynamic library.

  The Sybase installer installs the extension module into the Open Client (CT-Library) directory as one shared library called sybaseasephp.so.

• These files are installed with the extension module:

  $SYBASE/$SYBASE_OCS/php/php536_64/lib/sybaseasephp.so

  $SYBASE/$SYBASE_OCS/php/php536_64/devlib/sybaseasephp.so

  $SYBASE/$SYBASE_OCS/sample/php/README

  $SYBASE/$SYBASE_OCS/sample/php/firstapp.php
