php - PECL extension install instruction needed

[ROOFIS]

Hello there webhostingbuzz staff/support,

currently I'm scripting a webapp for a client that requires some of php's more powerful functions and wish to upload the finished product as a demo. One of the functions I need to call is
php.net/manual/en/function.httprequestpool-construct.php -httpRequestPool
but this requires pecl_http extension which is not bundled with the standard php install.

What I'm asking is if it's possible to install this package

(php.net/manual/en/http.install.php install info here)
and
(pecl.php.net/package/pecl_http package download here)

though whm or cpanel and how to go about installing it.
Any insight on this whether it's possible to instill or not will be most grateful, thanks.

I don't know the answer. But I think you've left out a very important part of the question: What type of hosting package is this? It just seems to me the answer will vary depending if it's a shared account or a dedicated server or a managed server or whatever.

Hi Tony thanks for reply I managed to install the php_http.dll (php_http-5.3-svn20091125-vc6-x86) from here: downloads.php.net/pierre/ on xampp with instructions from stackoverflow.com/questions/2100066/how-do-i-enable-the-php-http-pecl-extension-on-windows

My hosting is non-shared platinum I 'd imagine it's just a case of installing the dll either stand alone or with associated page requirements php.net/manual/en/http.install.php I don't know as far as production server goes and it's a learning experience for me too. (xampp is so much easer with shell access!)
