  Unable to make libchartdir.so work

Hello,

Trying to run libchartdir.so on CentOS + php7.1

[root@usr modules]# uname -a
Linux kir-01.cloud.servers.com 3.10.0-514.26.2.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Jul 4 15:04:05 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

[root@usr modules]# php -v
PHP 7.1.9 (cli) (built: Aug 30 2017 20:06:08) ( NTS )
Copyright (c) 1997-2017 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v3.1.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2017 Zend Technologies
    with Zend OPcache v7.1.9, Copyright (c) 1999-2017, by Zend Technologies

First I've tried downloading Linux (x86_64) version.
php -dextension=/usr/lib64/php/modules/libchartdir.so
PHP Warning:  PHP Startup: Invalid library (maybe not a PHP library) 'libchartdir.so' in Unknown on line 0
PHP Warning:  PHP Startup: Invalid library (maybe not a PHP library) '/usr/lib64/php/modules/libchartdir.so' in Unknown on line 0

After that I've tried downloading Linux (i386/i686) version and there were no any errors when running php -dextension=/usr/lib64/php/modules/libchartdir.so

In phpinfo I see .ini file that includes libchartdir.so extension, but it seems that extension do not work. I've checked chmods and chown of libchartdir.so but everything is okay.

Is there any way to diagnose why extension could not run?

Thank you!

Beside that I've noticed that all Download links leads to different versions of Charts (5, 6)
library:

http://download2.advsofteng.com/chartdir_php_linux.tar.gz
http://www.advsofteng.com/chartdir_php_linux.tar.gz
http://download2.advsofteng.com/chartdir_php_linux_64.tar.gz

Sorry, just ignore my last message about "different versions". Is is my bad and my mistake. Question from first message is still actual.

A little update. Checked error log and I see following messages

also tried with absolute path, but still no result....

Hi Kirill,

According to the ChartDirector for PHP documentation, for PHP 7.1 on Linux, the extension is "phpchartdir710.dll".

http://www.advsofteng.com/doc/cdphp.htm#phpinstall.htm

The "libchartdir.so" is not a PHP extension. The PHP extension is "phpchartdir710.dll". This extension will use "libchartdir.so" internally.

It is suggested you copy *everything* (all *.dll and *.so and the fonts subdirectory) to your PHP extension directory, then add the line:

extension=phpchartdir710.dll

Please kindly let me know if this can solve the problem.

Regards
Peter Kwan
