Does heliohost support PDO

Does heliohost support the PDO classes in PHP5?

 

I'm new here and haven't even earned the points to create a new account.

Sorry, but no we don't. I'll put that in the upgrade list for Stevie's installation.

 

PS: You don't need any points for accounts anymore. Just signup for an "ad-based" account - it doesn't actually have ads anymore

Are you going to include PDO class support soon?

 

I'm not trying to rush you. Just want to know so I can decide what method to use to code my site.

 

Thanks.

Sorry I didn't alert you, but I enabled PDO for Stevie

Request a move to him in the Server Move forum.

Hmm.. I just signed up for this account so it is already on the Stevie server. I guess the problem would be me doing something wrong.

 

How would you reference it on this site?

 

On my default installation of PHP using wamp, I can get it to work by using the following quick test:

 

$db = new PDO();

 

It give me a warning that "PDO::__construct() expects at least 1 parameter". But I know that it is working. I also got it working before when I put in all the parameters.

 

I tried the same above code on this site and it gives me the follow error:

 

Fatal error: Class 'PDO' not found in /home/myaccountname/public_html/index.php

 

Anybody have any clue what I need to do?

 

Thanks a lot.

The problems with the Ioncube loaders (see the topic involving Fantastico issues) reset the php.ini configuration file, getting rid of the PDO extension loader. Try again now - it should work.

[mrdarc]

Yup, I can verify that it works now.

 

You rock djbob.

[mrdarc]

djbob,

 

It is saying Fatal error: Class 'PDO' not found again.

 

I guess it got turned off.

 

Can you re-enable?

 

Thanks.

I thought my last try fixed everything, but it is still erasing php.ini every day. I take it Fantastico isn't working as well?

 

It should now be fixed for the day. I will continue trying to figure this out.

Find out at what time it's deleting it and then write a script to recreate it? Beats the heck out of trying to find some bogus bug that's deleting it.

Contacting cPanel support sounds like the best idea to me.
