PDFlib Install Nightmares
Posted: Tue Mar 14, 2006 9:41 am
Well, I've done extensive searching on this topic all over and have yet to find an answer (or anyone willing to help me, for that matter).
The system:
Dell PE850 w/Red Hat Ent. Linux 3 ES
PHP 4.3.11
PDFlib Lite 6.0.3
So the directions say for PHP > 4.3.9, to install using pear install pdflib, but I get an error saying that it needs PDFlib > 3.x. So I downloaded and built PDFlib Lite, and used that in the install. pear installs pdflib successfully.
And nothing. It doesn't show up in phpinfo and my scripts don't work. I've seen that many recommend FPDF for this kind of application, but unfortunately, I have to port existing code to this new server and rewriting for a new module is simply not an option.
I get the feeling I'm just missing one simple thing here, but I can't find it. Can anybody here help me?
Thanks,
Scott
