building php with DB extension without installing DB locally

hi guys,

I want to build php with firebirdDB (ibase) extension (for the purposes
of this exercise it could just as well be mysql) without installing firebird
on the local machine (i'm moving the DB to a seperate server) ...

I can't figure out how to do this apart from installing firebird, building php
then removing firebird again - although I'm not sure this would even work.

Does anyone know the correct way to go about such a thing?

TIA

Think it's the same as compiling with the mysql extension. You need
the client libraries to build PHP. So just install the firebird client
and compile against that. That should work .. right?

right! I wasn't thinking - it never occurred to me I could install the client libs
without the [db] server a quick look with 'apt-cache search' comfirms that I can.

thanks for the wake up call :-)

In order to compile, you need AT LEAST the client headers, sometimes
referred to as the "-devel" package in RPMs.

It will probably be easiest to just install/uninstall, though...
