Hi, I try to troubleshoot a hosting setup I built on Centos6 with php packages from Atomic Rocket Turtle (I needed to have php 5.2.17 so I used these instead of stock CentOS php version )

Now I notice while comparing a phpinfo output from command line (php -f phpinfo.php) and one from my browser (interpreted by httpd using libphp5.so) that the configure command section shows differences ('--without-unixODBC' '--disable-pdo' on my browser, --enable-pdo=shared --with-pdo-odbc=shared,unixODBC,/usr --with-pdo-mysql=shared,/usr --with-pdo-pgsql=shared,/usr --with-pdo-sqlite=shared,/usr --with-pdo-dblib=shared,/usr --with-unixODBC=shared,/usr from the command line) there may be other differences I didn't notice, but these options are important to me so it caught my attention first.

Any clue why is that ? Any test I should do or complementary information I should provide ?

because phpinfo() lies Look at the php.spec file for the real details

Thanks for your answer Scott,

I don't have the php.spec file in my filesystem since I didn't manage to find the corresponding .src.rpm package on the Atomic Rocket Turtle repository but anyways if the error lies in the display of the configure options and since the client tested the odbc support and it seems to work it's all good for now.

I'm somewhat confused and surprised not to be able to rely on phpinfo () to have an overview of the available features and compile options and other stuff, how could I avoid being lied at lol

The PHP src.rpm and spec files can be found in the /channels/source/php/ dir on the hosts that serve the atomic yum repository. So for instance: http://www2.atomicorp.com/channels/source/php/

Its actually been returning inaccurate data since php 5.0.x. Has to do with modular wibbly wobbly timey wimey stuff
