{{>toc}} h1. PL/php Welcome to the PL/php site. PL/php is a procedural language add-on for PostgreSQL, [[PostgreSQL]], which means you can define PHP functions that run inside a PostgreSQL [[PostgreSQL]] server. h2. Obtaining PL/php Please see the [[Downloads]] page. Or you can get the latest sources using anonymous svn access: <pre> svn checkout https://projects.commandprompt.com/public/plphp/repo/trunk </pre> h2. Documentation Please see the [[InstallDocs|PL/php [[InstallDocs|PLphp Installation procedure]]. procedures]]. Before you can use PL/php, you need to [[CreateLang|create the language]] language] in the database (In PostgreSQL [[PostgreSQL]] 80 you need [[wikiCreateLang80 [wikiCreateLang80 these instructions instead]]). Usage Documentation: [[Documentation|PL/php [[Documentation|PLphp User Guide]] h3. Contributed Documentation Ribamar Sousa has also translated this documentation to Portuguese: http://pg.ribafs.net/content/view/29/30/ Ribamar Sousa has also written a tutorial about installing PL/php on Ubuntu and [[PostgreSQL]] 8.3 (in Portuguese): http://pg.ribafs.net/content/view/27/30/ Santiago Zárate has documented the installation for Ubuntu in Spanish: http://blog.santiago.zarate.net.ve/archives/1-Como-instalar-plphp-en-ubuntu-7.04-y-7.10 h2. Support You can join the mailing list: http://lists.commandprompt.com/mailman/listinfo/plphp "mailing list":http://lists.commandprompt.com/mailman/listinfo/plphp.

Release History *10/15/2007* *10/15/2007*: PL/php 1.3.5 Beta1 addresses PostgreSQL 8.3 [[PostgreSQL]] 8.3Beta1 compatibility and named parameters. parameters ---- PL/php 1.3.3 addresses the previous phpinfo() issue as well as a bunch of others, particulary improper handling of columns with numeric names, random backend crashes etc. This is the first PL/php version with PostgreSQL [[PostgreSQL]] 8.2 support, and autoconf/configure scripts replacing the need to edit the project's Makefile directly. It still has issues with threaded PHP build, so I recommend not using --enable-maintainer-zts when configuring your PHP library. Except for this it successfully passed all regression tests with !PostgreSQL [[PostgreSQL]] 8.2 and PHP 5. ---- PL/php 1.3 was released on 2006-07-14. It is virtually identical to 1.2. There is a bug that prevents phpinfo() from working. It does not support in/out parameters. ---- 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 [[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.
