installing PECL id3 extension on Ubuntu

id3, id3v2, pecl, php, ubuntu

Solution

http://php.net/manual/en/id3.installation.php

You will need to download id3 first using:

pecl download id3-alpha
tar -zxvf id3*.tgz
vim id3.c

Have to change in line 196: function_entry id3_functions[ ] = {

into

zend_function_entry id3_functions[ ] = {

phpize
./configure
make
make test
make install

Then add the id3.so into your php.ini file and restart apache

Problem

I have been trying this from a week now still couldnt find an answer for this when i try this `sudo pecl install id3` this error happens ``` downloading id3-0.2.tgz ... Starting to download id3-0.2.tgz (20,693 bytes) .....done: 20,693 bytes 4 source files, building running: phpize Cannot find config.m4. Make sure that you run '/usr/bin/phpize' in the top level source directory of the module If the command failed with 'phpize: not found' then you need to install php5-dev packageYou can do it by running 'apt-get install php5-dev' as a root userERROR: `phpize' failed ``` please help !!! I have already installed php5-dev.
