# Azure Redirect for Azure MySQL/MariaDB on Linux Azure Web Apps PHP 7.4 without Docker

This approach is using the mysqlnd_azure.so extension to enable the [redirection functionality](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/mariadb/howto-redirection) on Azure MySQL/MariaDB instance.

1. Build the *mysqlnd_azure.so* binary with `make` (using Docker container or locally). You can follow [these steps](https://github.com/microsoft/mysqlnd_azure#step-to-build-on-linux).

    ```bash

    # Using the appsvc/php:7.4-apache_20200522.6 Docker image.

    apt install git -y

    git clone https://github.com/microsoft/mysqlnd_azure --depth 1

    cd mysqlnd_azure

    phpize

    ./configure

    make

    # If successful, the binary will be in ./modules/mysqlnd_azure.so.

    ```

    1. Extract the binary from the container (if using Docker): `docker cp :/home/mysqlnd_azure/modules/mysqlnd_azure.so `.

1. Add the newly created binary to your project (for instance to a `./bin` folder).

1. Create a configuration INI file (for instance in an `./ini` folder).

1. Add the following to the file:

    ```ini

    extension=/home/site/wwwroot/bin/mysqlnd_azure.so

    mysqlnd_azure.enableRedirect = on

    ```

1. [Change the INI scan directory](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/app-service/configure-language-php?pivots=platform-linux#customize-php_ini_system-directives) for your Web App.

    ```bash

    az webapp config appsettings set --name  --resource-group  --settings PHP_INI_SCAN_DIR="/usr/local/etc/php/conf.d:/home/site/wwwroot/ini"

    ```

    > Note: This is a simplistic approach. Microsoft documentation recommends creating the `ini` folder outside of `wwwroot` using SSH.

1. Push to the repo and deploy the app.

1. Don't fogert to change the `redirect_enabled` setting to *ON* on you Azure MySQL/MariaDB instance.

The directory structure then can look like this:

```

|- bin

  |-mysqlnd_azure.so

|- ini

  |-mysqlnd_setting.ini

|- index.php

```

Finally, test the connection via PHP:

```php

host_info, "\n"; //if redirection succeeds, the host_info will differ from the hostname you used used to connect

    $res = $db->query('SHOW TABLES;'); //test query with the connection

    print_r ($res);

    $db->close();

}

?>

```
