Whilst it’s been labelled as a minor update there have been 15 fixes/additions to the driver: – Update the unit tests to be more independent – Add support for the Ingres BOOLEAN type – Add ingres_fetch_assoc() [...]
For those of you who are interested in running PHP on OpenVMS with Ingres, I have published a pre-built binary to http://esd.ingres.com/product/drivers/PHP/HP_OpenVMS_Alpha/PHP_Driver.

The last release of the PHP driver introduced a regression where by the “EXECUTE PROCEDURE” or “CALL” SQL statements would fail to execute (PECL bug 16688).

From the CHANGELOG here are what I believe are the two [...]

The session will provide the basics for getting up and running with PHP and Ingres, covering the different platforms supported by both Ingres and [...]
Its been a long time coming but I have finally released to cvs.php.net a major revision of the PECL Ingres code. So major that I have had to break backwards compatibility to implement the ability to have multiple active result-sets. Since I promised Andy Grimm I would write a piece on the new driver for [...]
