It is not possible to use PHP cgi with NETSCAPE E.S. 3.51 and INFORMIX because it is imperatively necessary to have INFORMIXSERVER variable in the environment. Alas the environment of scripts cgi is very limited. To be able to use INFORMIX nevertheless, I supplemented the file php.ini by adding a parameter 'INFORMIX.default_server' then I modified the file ifx.ec in order to read this parameter and to place it in the environment Before calling upon 'ifx_connect'. Is it possible to register my modifiaction in a permanent way in PHP?

Just wondering..if you set INFORMIXSERVER prior to starting
the webserver, doesn't the webserver inherit the environment?? How are you running PHP? As a NSAPI module
or CGI ? FYI:I just recently committed a huge patch for 
Informix to make it compile and work in threaded
environment.

No feedback. Reopen if you still have this problem
with PHP 4.0.7 (soon to be released) or with latest CVS 
snapshot from http://snaps.php.net/
