How to add DateTime class support in php 5.1.6

I have php 5.1.6 and got below thing but still not able to enable class support

Note: Experimental DateTime support in PHP 5.1.x Although the DateTime class (and related functions) are enabled by default since PHP 5.2.0, > it is possible to add experimental support into PHP 5.1.x by using the following flag before configure/compile: CFLAGS=-DEXPERIMENTAL_DATE_SUPPORT=1

But I did not understand where to add above line. Should it be added in php.ini?

Solution

  • If you're on a shared server you will not be able to to so (you could talk to your hosting provider). If not, you will have re compile PHP and append the above flags to your ./configure line of flags (before your make and make install processes).
