YAZ can be fetched in source or in various prebuilt packages
from the » YAZ archive.
Systems such as Debian GNU/Linux, Suse Linux, FreeBSD also has YAZ
as part of their distribution.
For the PHP 4 series, the YAZ extension is bundled (but not YAZ itself)
Build PHP with your favorite modules and add option
--with-yaz[=DIR].
Example #1 YAZ compilation for PHP 4 on Unix
gunzip -c php-4.4.X.tar.gz|tar xf -
gunzip -c yaz-2.1.8.tar.gz|tar xf -
cd yaz-2.1.8
./configure --prefix=/usr
make
sudo make install
cd ../php-4.4.X.
./configure --with-yaz=/usr/bin
make
sudo make install
For PHP 5, the YAZ extension is in » PECL

install the YAZ extension is by using the pecl command.
Installation of YAZ on Linux
Information for installing this PECL extension may be
found in the manual chapter titled Installation
of PECL extensions. Additional information such as new releases,
downloads, source files, maintainer information, and a CHANGELOG, can be
located here:
» http://pecl.php.net/package/yaz
Installation on Windows systems
The DLL for this PECL extension
may be downloaded from either the
» PHP Downloads page or from
» http://pecl4win.php.net/
php_yaz.dll depends on
yaz.dll. The yaz.dll
is part of the Win32 ZIP from the PHP site. It is also part
of the Windows YAZ install available from the
» YAZ WIN32 area.
Warning
The PHP 5.0.5 Win32 zip includes a too old version of
yaz.dll (version 1.9.1 < required version 2.0.13).
If that's the case use the yaz.dll from a newer
» YAZ WIN32 install.
On windows, don't forget to add the PHP directory to the PATH, so that the
yaz.dll file can be found by the system.
If you are using YAZ as a shared extension, add (or uncomment) the following
line in php.ini on Unix:
And for Windows:
WarningThe IMAP, recode,
YAZ and Cyrus
extensions cannot be used in conjuction, because they
share the same internal symbols.
Note:
The above problem is solved in version 2.0 of YAZ.
