 h1. h2. Documentation 


 Please see the [[InstallDocs|PL/php Installation procedure]].

 h1. h2. Release History 


 *10/15/2007* 

 PL/php 1.3.5 Beta1 addresses PostgreSQL 8.3 compatibility and named 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 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 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 nor PHP sources -- actually, you don't even need those sources, so it's much easier to install than the previous 1.0 version.
