[PHP-INSTALL] Where are dbase, fbsql, fdf, ncurses, mhash, ming, msql and sybase now?

[Ryan Schmidt]

PHP 5.3.0's NEWS file says:


- Moved extensions to PECL (Derick, Lukas, Pierre, Scott):
. ext/dbase
. ext/fbsql
. ext/fdf
. ext/ncurses
. ext/mhash (BC layer is now entirely within ext/hash)
. ext/ming
. ext/msql
. ext/sybase (not maintained anymore, sybase_ct has to be used
instead)


But I cannot find dbase, fbsql, fdf, mhash, msql or sybase in PECL.
ming is there but has no downloads available. ncurses has a single
download available from 2006.

If these extensions have been removed from PHP with 5.3.0, where can
I get them now?

Good question. I´ve tried to compile PHP with --enable-dbase (getting
the source from PECL) but it didn´t work. Anyone knows how to use
dbase files with php 5.3.6?

I figured it out. You have to download php sources + dbase sources from
PECL, extract dbase source to /php-5.3.6/ext/dbase and then execute
./buildconf --force in php source directory. You need autoconf 2.13 too
