PHP: Installation

Installation

PHP 7.4

This extension has been moved to the » PECL repository and is no longer bundled with PHP as of PHP 7.4.0

Information for installing this PECL extension may be found in the manual chapter titled Installation of PECL extensions. Additional information such as new releases, downloads, source files, maintainer information, and a CHANGELOG, can be located here: » https://pecl.php.net/package/recode.

PHP < 7.4

To be able to use the functions defined in this module you must compile your PHP interpreter using the --with-recode[=DIR] option.

Warning

Crashes and startup problems of PHP may be encountered when loading the recode as extension after loading any extension of mysql or imap. Loading the recode before those extension has proved to fix the problem. This is due a technical problem that both the c-client library used by imap and recode have their own hash_lookup() function and both mysql and recode have their own hash_insert function.

Warning

The IMAP, recode and YAZ extensions cannot be used in conjunction, because they share the same internal symbols. Note: Yaz 2.0 and above does not suffer from this problem.

The warnings on this page are really important.

If you ever end up with a Segmentation Fault (core dump 11), and have something similar to this in your stack trace:
