[Xapian-discuss] PHP functions in Ubuntu packages

[Francis Irving]

I'm using this package repository on Ubuntu Edgy.
    deb http://www.xapian.org/debian edgy main
and trying to get php4-xapian to work. There are lots of
missing functions.

If I install php4-xapian, and add the module to /etc/php4/cli/php.ini
and list the functions available (using get_defined_functions) with a
command line run of PHP both before and after, I find these ones are added
by presence of the module:

> xapian_version_string
> xapian_major_version
> xapian_minor_version
> xapian_revision
> auto_open
> auto_open_stub
> quartz_open
> inmemory_open
> muscat36_open_da
> muscat36_open_db
> remote_open
> remote_open_writable

I'm expecting things like new_database, but can't see them.

On the contrary, I /do/ find that function (and lots of other similar
ones) in php5-xapian, and it works fine.

What's going on with the PHP4 bindings again?
