&reftitle.intro;
The Informix driver for Informix (IDS) 7.x, SE 7.x, Universal
Server (IUS) 9.x and IDS 2000 is implemented in "ifx.ec" and
"php3_ifx.h" in the informix extension directory. IDS 7.x support
is fairly complete, with full support for BYTE and TEXT
columns. IUS 9.x support is partly finished: the new data types
are there, but SLOB and CLOB support is still under construction.

Configuration notes
You need a version of ESQL/C to compile the PHP Informix driver.
ESQL/C versions from 7.2x on should be OK. ESQL/C is now part of
the Informix Client SDK.
Make sure that the "INFORMIXDIR" variable has been set, and that
$INFORMIXDIR/bin is in your PATH before you run the "configure"
script.
&reftitle.install;
The configure script will autodetect the libraries and include
directories, if you run configure
. You can
override this detection by specifying "IFX_LIBDIR", "IFX_LIBS" and
"IFX_INCDIR" in the environment. The configure script will also
try to detect your Informix server version. It will set the
"HAVE_IFX_IUS" conditional compilation variable if your Informix
version >= 9.00.
