Pré-requis
As of PHP-5.1.0 informix support was moved to PECL
and removed from the PHP bundle, thus --with-informix
is no longer a valid configuration command.
http://cvs.php.net/viewvc.cgi/pecl/informix/
Contains the latest informix package. For *NIX machines:
1) Download each file into the same directory
2) cd to that directory
3) phpize
4) ./configure
5) make
6) make install
7) move the generated informix.so file to your php modules directory
8) add extension=informix.so to php.ini
9) add [Informix] section to php.ini file with defintions
10) restart Apache
check phpinfo() for 'informix' with the details similar to:
informix
Informix support enabled
Active Persistent links 0
Active links 0
ESQL/C Version 3.00
NOTE: Before running phpize to build the php informix module
export LDFLAGS=$INFORMIXDIR/lib/esql/checkapi.o
this will tell the compilation of the module to include this necessary file, for use in building the informix.so file
Installation
Pour activer ces fonctions, vous devez compiler PHP avec l'option --with-informix[=DIR], où DIR est le dossier d'installation de Informix et, par défaut, il ne vaut rien.

For windows , apache server, php connect informix.
I have try 4 days and finally success with it.
My php env is apache 2.0, php 5.2, informix 09.40
1) download php_ifx.dll from php home page （search with pecl-5.2 Win32）, put php_ifx.dll in your php extension dir , in my case c:\php\ext .
2) in php.ini add follows :
extension=php_ifx.dll
3) download informix cdsk 3.0TC for windows from ibm, install it and then run your php app which has informix connect operation, if apache server has a error dialog, then restart computer(because installation add a system variable path : C:\Program Files\IBM\Informix\Client-SDK\bin), after restart confirm this error not occure again. (in this step php page finally error with "sqlstate = IX 000 sqlcode= -25560" because of informix server not set, we will solute it in next step)
4) run C:\Program Files\IBM\Informix\Client-SDK\bin\setnet32.exe change the values by following
4)-1 Tab Server Information
IBM Informix Server : informix server name
HostName : informix server ip address
Protocolname : onsoctcp
ServiceName : informix server port
4)-2 Host Information
Current Host : informix server ip address
then click OK
5) run your php app, then you can do any ifx_xxxxx informix db operation. (in windows apache env don't mind INFORMIXDIR var ect...)
