h1. PL/php Welcome to the PL/php site. PL/php is a procedural language add-on for PostgreSQL, which means you can define PHP functions that run inside a PostgreSQL server. {{>toc}} h1. 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> h1. Documentation Please see the [[InstallDocs|PL/php Installation procedure]]. Before you can use PL/php, you need to [[CreateLang|create the language]] in the database. database (In PostgreSQL 80 you need [[wikiCreateLang80 these instructions instead]]). Usage Documentation: [[Documentation|PL/php User Guide]] h2. Contributed Documentation Ribamar Sousa has 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 h1. Support You can join the mailing list: http://lists.commandprompt.com/mailman/listinfo/plphp Or you can reach us on Freenode at the *#plphp* channel. h1. 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.
