Welcome to the PL/php Trac site. This site is designed to help us foster a community around PL/php. Recently, PL/php has started seeing more development, and we have recently started releasing new versions.  Please see the [wiki:Downloads] page.

PL/php 1.2 was released on 2005-12-13.  This version adds SRF (Set-Returning Function) support.  It is also an attempt to make the build system a bit more independent of your actual setup.  In order to build it, you need to have the apxs program somewhere in your path.  Please report any incompatibility.

PL/php 1.1 was released on 2005-12-05.  This version is much cooler than the previous one because you don't have to patch PostgreSQL nor PHP sources -- actually, you don't even need those sources, so it's much easier to install than the previous 1.0 version.  This is the first release since I (Álvaro Herrera) took maintainership of PL/php.

Before you can use PL/php, you need to [wiki:CreateLang create the language] in the database.  (In PostgreSQL 8.0 you need [wiki:CreateLang80 these instructions instead]).

The current design of PL/php is not really very portable, as it depends on the Apache PHP SAPI.  In practice, this means that PL/php is not very likely to compile or run on non-Linux platforms, or even on non-stock Linux platforms.  Please see the [http://hosting.commandprompt.com/pipermail/plphp/ mailing list archives].
