yp/nis library in PHP
I recently upgraded a client's intranet server from RHEL 3 to Centos 5. The PHP code on the server heavily relies on YP/NIS functions that were available in earlier versions of PHP, but are no longer included (functions like yp_match () and yp_get_default_domain()). What's worse, the YP files at PECL are unmaintained and have been missing for years.You can download the files YP source files you will need here.
Make sure that you have php-pecl and php-devel installed before starting!
[root@server ]# unzip pecl_yp.zip
[root@server ]# cd pecl_yp
[root@server ]# phpize
[root@server ]# ./configure
[root@server ]# make
[root@server ]# make test
[root@server ]# make install
add the line below to your PHP configuration file (php.ini):
extension=yp.so
restart your apache server (service httpd restart)
You are done!
