Adding PHP extensions

Hi all,

I'm trying to work out how to add PHP extensions to the windows version of Tonido.

I've added the required extension lines to php.ini, in the order they appear in another full php install i have running on apache.
extension=php_mbstring.dll
extension=php_exif.dll

I've also added equivilent lines to the main manifest.xml
<File Checksum="5f333569bdfdd5f13f1d6cac196b20d7" Path="php/ext/php_mbstring.dll" Executable="0">php_mbstring.dll</File>
<File Checksum="4e56546816b5a18a195a2c74c83cabb7" Path="php/ext/php_exif.dll" Executable="0">php_exif.dll</File>

As a last resort i copied a full PHP "install" to the root Tonido folder. Tonido loaded, however phpdevplugin pages simply timed out.

I'm wanting to get php_exif working because the "phpdevplugin" comes with sfgallery.php, which uses exif data.

Has anyone managed to add extensions?
Thanks

In theory all you need to do is to drop the extension dll in the extension directory and add it to the ini file.

Now the problem you might be running into is that there is a version mismatch between the PHP version we ship and then extension you have. You need to have the same version as what ships with Tonido.

Ok, so Tonido is running PHP 5.3.2, I was using extensions from 5.3.1 so that's why they didn't work?

If I download 5.3.6 and replace the existing Tonido PHP files it should work ?

Better if you get 5.3.2 extensions. But you could try 5.3.6.

5.3.6 didn't work, should I update manifest.xml with new checksums, or try to track down 5.3.2?

No you don't need to update manifest.xml at all. That is only for updates.
What is the error you are seeing. You can enable the logging in PHP.ini and see what error is reported when you try to start PHP. It might be best to get exact PHP version.

There isn't an error message, the test pages just sit there trying to load.
I'll try to track down 5.3.2, and also try logging and see what I get

Still having issues with adding extensions, I've downloaded 5.3.2 and copied DLLs over but with no luck.

Any other ideas?
Was php compiled specifically to work with the Tonido server, or was it a standard download?

nope, this was a standard download. We didn't compile PHP.
Unfortunately, I don't have any other ideas at this time. Does the PHP as CGI work under any other web server?
