Hello,

I'm giving Zend Framework a try, so far so good. The framework likes to use the PDO Database objects to connect to the Database. All well and fine. My Hosting plan indicates that I 'probably' have the PDO MySQL extension installed and to make sure I have the following lines in my php.ini:

Which I did add. I also confirmed that my version of PHP is new enough which it is at version 5.2.6.

However, I get an error when a connection to the database is attempted. Here is the error:

Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Zend_Db_Adapter_Exception' with message 'The PDO extension is required for this adapter but the extension is not loaded' in /home1/ioforgec/zendev/library/Zend/Db/Adapter/Pdo/Abstract.php:94 Stack trace: #0 ome1/ioforgec/zendev/library/Zend/Db/Adapter/Abstract.php(389): Zend_Db_Adapter_Pdo_Abstract->_connect() #1 /home1/ioforgec/zendev/library/Zend/Db/Adapter/Pdo/Abstract.php(205): Zend_Db_Adapter_Abstract->query('SELECT auth FRO...', 'admin') #2 /home1/ioforgec/zendev/library/Zend/Db/Adapter/Abstract.php(616): Zend_Db_Adapter_Pdo_Abstract->query('SELECT auth FRO...', 'admin') #3 /home1/ioforgec/zendev/application/controllers/MyAuthAdapter.php(43): Zend_Db_Adapter_Abstract->fetchAll('SELECT auth FRO...', 'admin', 'welcome') #4 /home1/ioforgec/zendev/library/Zend/Auth.php(117): MyAuthAdapter->authenticate() #5 /home1/ioforgec/zendev/application/controllers/LoginController.php(40): Zend_Auth->authenticate(Object(MyAuthAdapter)) #6 /home1/ioforgec/zendev/library/Zend/Controller/Action.php(5 in /home1/ioforgec/zendev/library/Zend/Db/Adapter/Pdo/Abstract.php on line 94



The PDO MySQL package is definitely installed on the server:

Has Anyone worked with PDO? Does it involve some gotcha that im not aware of? The php.ini file has the correct extension configurations and the extension_dir specified does have the appropriate shared object files in it.

Do I require a restart of some kind?

Resolved:

My WebHost was doing some funky dance with the threaded/non-threaded versions of the PDO Shared Object files and neglected to update their help files to inform of the change.

Thought this might be relevant path to explore if anyone else ever had this issue. Cheers!
