I struggled for few days too but I eventually got it right. I used the below steps to create the connection to informix DB:

  1. Make the PDO directory under root user.
  2. Extract the informix_pdo file in the directory.
  3. Enter the PDO Directory: cd PDO_INFORMIX-1.3.1/.
  4. Set your INFORMIXDIR: $ export INFORMIXDIR=/myifx/csdk.
  5. Execute phpize: $ phpize
  6. Execute the configure: $ ./configure.
  7. Compile the PDO: $ make.
  8. Install the PDO : $ make install.
  9. Activate the PDO at PHP :
$ cd /etc/php5/conf.d
$ echo "extension=pdo_informix.so" > pdo_informix.ini
  1. Restart apache.
  2. Check the phpinfo to see if the informix_pdo extension is loaded.

One likely problem is that the environment is not set correctly to find the Informix libraries that PDO_Informix uses. You would normally need LD_LIBRARY_PATH to include $INFORMIXDIR/lib and $INFORMIXDIR/lib/esql. As an alternative, you could use or edit the ld.so.conf file, perhaps.

You may find you need to set $INFORMIXDIR itself, and $INFORMIXSERVER too (or maybe instead).
