php: Unable to docker-php-ext-install odbc

The following builds successfully:

FROM php:7.1-alpine

RUN set -ex; \
	docker-php-source extract; \
	{ \
		echo '# https://github.com/docker-library/php/issues/103#issuecomment-271413933'; \
		echo 'AC_DEFUN([PHP_ALWAYS_SHARED],[])dnl'; \
		echo; \
		cat /usr/src/php/ext/odbc/config.m4; \
	} > temp.m4; \
	mv temp.m4 /usr/src/php/ext/odbc/config.m4; \
	apk add --no-cache unixodbc-dev; \
	docker-php-ext-configure odbc --with-unixODBC=shared,/usr; \
	docker-php-ext-install odbc; \
	docker-php-source delete

Thank you. Although not very elegant, this does seem to work…

FROM php
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y unixODBC-dev && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
RUN set -x \
    && cd /usr/src/php/ext/odbc \
    && phpize \
    && sed -ri 's@^ *test +"\$PHP_.*" *= *"no" *&& *PHP_.*=yes *$@#&@g' configure \
    && ./configure --with-unixODBC=shared,/usr \
    && docker-php-ext-install odbc

I am able to make odbc connections now. 👍

I’m not sure if I should be concerned, but if I produce a phpinfo() in the aforementioned php:5.6-fpm container the ODBC library, ODBC_INCLUDE, ODBC_LFLAGS, ODBC_LIBS all have no value.

Whereas in another php:5.6-apache container I have running, those values are defined…

@munir3011 sounds like you aren’t using this Docker image (we have no CentOS-based variants, and this repo doesn’t have anything specific to do with FreePBX) 😉

Regarding the original issue described here, I think the workaround we discovered (https://github.com/docker-library/php/issues/103#issuecomment-271434109) is probably the best we’re going to find (given how this particular extension functions), so I’m going to close, but I think this discussion should serve as a good reference point for future users who need ODBC in their php-based images. 👍 ❤️

For the sake of future travelers, the workaround in question (https://github.com/docker-library/php/issues/103#issuecomment-271434109) referenced again:

FROM php:7.1-alpine

RUN set -ex; \
	docker-php-source extract; \
	{ \
		echo '# https://github.com/docker-library/php/issues/103#issuecomment-271413933'; \
		echo 'AC_DEFUN([PHP_ALWAYS_SHARED],[])dnl'; \
		echo; \
		cat /usr/src/php/ext/odbc/config.m4; \
	} > temp.m4; \
	mv temp.m4 /usr/src/php/ext/odbc/config.m4; \
	apk add --no-cache unixodbc-dev; \
	docker-php-ext-configure odbc --with-unixODBC=shared,/usr; \
	docker-php-ext-install odbc; \
	docker-php-source delete

hi plz help me sir problem i have using sentos 6.7 freepbx problem is in dashboard monthly and daily CALLS INFO TODAY not showing monthly call report not showing today recent call report no showing

I had the same issue for php 7. This version works for me:

FROM php:7
RUN apt-get update \
  && apt-get install unzip git unixODBC-dev libpq-dev -y

RUN set -x \
    && docker-php-source extract \
    && cd /usr/src/php/ext/odbc \
    && phpize \
    && sed -ri 's@^ *test +"\$PHP_.*" *= *"no" *&& *PHP_.*=yes *$@#&@g' configure \
    && ./configure --with-unixODBC=shared,/usr \
    && docker-php-ext-install odbc \
    && docker-php-source delete

@tylkomat perhaps you need pdo_odbc?

RUN apt-get install -y \
    unixODBC-dev \
    && docker-php-ext-configure pdo_odbc --with-pdo-odbc=unixODBC,/usr \
    && docker-php-ext-install pdo_odbc

I also connect to DB2 from one of my applications (see full Dockerfile), but with IBM i Access for Linux rather than the ibm_db2 extension. Just sharing in case other people using ODBC connections to DB2 find it useful.

Not sure why the sed is necessary here, but I got this working. @yosifkit tested compiling it directly into PHP, and it doesn’t have any of these issues, so this is extra bizarre.

FROM php
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y unixODBC-dev && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
RUN set -x \
    && cd /usr/src/php/ext/odbc \
    && phpize \
    && sed -ri 's@^ *test +"\$PHP_.*" *= *"no" *&& *PHP_.*=yes *$@#&@g' configure \
    && ./configure --with-unixODBC=shared,/usr \
    && docker-php-ext-install odbc

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Libraries have been installed in:
   /usr/src/php/ext/odbc/modules

If you ever happen to want to link against installed libraries
in a given directory, LIBDIR, you must either use libtool, and
specify the full pathname of the library, or use the `-LLIBDIR'
flag during linking and do at least one of the following:
   - add LIBDIR to the `LD_LIBRARY_PATH' environment variable
     during execution
   - add LIBDIR to the `LD_RUN_PATH' environment variable
     during linking
   - use the `-Wl,--rpath -Wl,LIBDIR' linker flag
   - have your system administrator add LIBDIR to `/etc/ld.so.conf'

See any operating system documentation about shared libraries for
more information, such as the ld(1) and ld.so(8) manual pages.
