phppostgresqlphp-pgsql

Cannot find pgsql.so in php.ini

After installed php5-pgsql on Ubuntu using the command

sudo apt-get install php5-pgsql

I couldn't find pgsql.so file in php.ini, when i do a 

 locate pgsql.so

nothing returns. So anyone knows why the installation shows successful, but the module file doesn't exist?

Solution

  • Try to locate the file by issuing dpkg -L:

    $ dpkg -L php5-pgsql | grep .so
/usr/lib/php5/20121212/pgsql.so
/usr/lib/php5/20121212/pdo_pgsql.so

    Also, note that locate command acts over a database that must be updated by previously executing updatedb.
