Solr PHP extension is not working after manual installation?

I have successfully compiled Solr PHP extens开发者_如何学Cion It took me a whole day :S. I have compiled the code and also copied the solr.so extension file to /opt/lampp/lib/php/extensions. I also edited my php.ini file and created a new file called solr.ini in /etc/php.d folder. I basically followed most of the steps according to this link http://www.gosquared.com/liquidicity/archives/836.

Now I check ed with $ php -mto see if Solr PHP extensions was succesfully installed. It appeared so. And then I tried to use its functions. None of them works. What have I missed?

Please help me! This have been really baking my nuts!

EDIT:

I have also restarted my lampp server, so that is not the case

The CLI PHP executable, i.e., the one you're running with php -m is using a different php.ini file than the web server.

You can check which files are being loaded by the cli with php --ini; for the web server, create a script with the content <?php phpinfo(); and check the configuration section.
