Hi,
I would like to run a php script but without giving it the extension .php.
Would like to do this because I have the trailing slash problem in apache.
(the last slash in a URL which tells apache if it is a file or a folder)
I already tried mod_rewrite... but this one doesnt work quite good with
the Informix WebDriver..... argh.
So my last option is a redirect in a script.....
Does anyone know how to configure this on my Redhat 7.3 box?
Apache 1.3.22 (yeah I know it is old, but have to :( )
PHP 4.2.2
Regards
Mike J. Duin

It shouldn't. What is the actual error? No PHP files served via apache?
Does apache serve up ordinary, non-interpreted .html files? Does your
code use anything else that could be aiding the crash, e.g. sockets,
other libraries?

Hello. I have installed and configured PHP successfully on several
occasions, but on my most recent installation it almost all works, but I
can't pass variables to a page in the URL. The normal:
filename.php?variable=value doesn't work ... the variable is still
undefined. Any ideas? I'm running Windows 2000 with IIS. Nothing
fancy. Tried multiple versions of PHP. Any help you could provide would
be appreciated.
Thanks!

Greg,
Sounds like you have a modern php with register_globals set to off by
default and you are used to having them on (its in the release notes).
Use $_GET['variable'} to obtain GET data. Its detailed in the manual.
Alternatively, turn register_globals on in php.ini (not recommended).

Hi, I'm trying to set up PHP 4.2.2 under Win98 (for command-line use). I'm
trying to get it to load the IMAP extension, but I get the message:
PHP Warning: Unable to load dynamic library
'c:\php\extensions\php_imap.dll' - A device attached to the system is not
functioning.
The path for the file is correct. I tried copying the DLLs in the php/dlls
directory into the windows/system directory, but no change.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Andrew

I am told to use CLI of PHP. However, the document says CLI is available
in 4.3.0. The latest one I could get is 4.2.2. Could I use CLI in this
version?
Also, the document mentioned running ./configure --enable-cli to enable
CLI in 4.2.0 version. But I can't find "configure" in the distribution.
How could I enable CLI?
Could you give me a step by step instruction what files I need to put
where to set up PHP for CLI? I am using Win2K Pro w/o any web server.

William,
Check out latest versions of PHP at snaps.php.net. We've been using 4.3 for
some time now, and have a nicely-working CLI.
(Having said this, I understood that 'build with CLI' was the 'default'
situation; may be wrong...)

Apache2+PHP is nowhere near ready for production use. Unless you have a
good technical reason to upgrade to Apache2, stick with Apache 1.3.x.

hello
I'm trying to install the sapi module with apache2 on win98.
apache version 2.0.40
php version 4.2.2
windows 98se
when starting apache it gives the following error:
D:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\bin>apache -k start
Syntax error on line 160 of D:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/conf/httpd.conf:
Cannot load D:/php/sapi/php4apache2.dll into server: A device attached to the system
is not functioning.
D:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\bin>
line 160 of httpd.conf is:
LoadModule php4_module d:/php/sapi/php4apache2.dll
right in amidst all the other loadmodule lines.
php runs fine from the command line.
Apache runs fine without that line.
The CGI version of php seems to work okay (apache runs, returns a 'hello world' test).
I've done everything the php documentation says to do for windows.
Is there some way to fond out what attached device is not functioning?
tia,
chris

Hello.
I've installed 4.2.3 on Apache 1.3.26 running on an Sun Ultra 1 with Solaris
9.
I have a script I wrote a while back that has worked fine on PHP 4.0.5 on my
current server. The script displays images on a web page. I build a pop-up
list of all the images in the current directory and have a "show" button
which sends a url thusly:
http://vortac.aviate.org/53sf/show.php?thePhoto=photo1.jpg
The script starts by checking whether the argument exists, then passes the
name of the photo for processing:
if( $thePhoto ) {
LoadImageData();
DisplayPhoto( "$thePhoto" );
} else {
LoadImageData();
if( count($photos) > 0 ) {
DisplayPhoto( "$photos[0]" );
} else {
PrintError( "Viewer error! can't load photos." );
}
}
This works fine on 4.0.5, but is broken on 4.2.3! I can't seem to figure out
what is going on. I threw phpinfo in the script to make sure that the arg is
being passed to php, and it shows that it is, yet the script never gets past
the test: if( $thePhoto).
I put a call to phpinfo() before the LoadImageData() function just to see if
the script even gets that far:
if( $thePhoto ) {
phpinfo();
LoadImageData();
DisplayPhoto( "$thePhoto" );
} else {
LoadImageData();
if( count($photos) > 0 ) {
DisplayPhoto( "$photos[0]" );
} else {
PrintError( "Viewer error! can't load photos." );
}
}
I never see the phpinfo dump. To test this I entered
"show.php?thePhoto=test.jpg" in a browser (with the correct url preceeding
the script name). So, it appears PHP is never parsing the argv, or something
major has changed between 4.05 and 4.23 where my test has to be re-written.
I'd appreciate some input.
Thanks.

Turn on register_globals in your php.ini file.

The release notes for PHP will indicate that the default for
register_globals is now off. Either use $_GET['test'] or turn
register_globals back on (not recommended).

Mike,
I've run into similar concerns while debugging my own php code; I'm
relatively new to php, so can't offer much help as to 'what changed as of
which version', but...
One thing I have run into already while debugging: php parses the _entire_
script before attempting to execute it. So, as I understand it,
'traditional' methods of passing an 'echo' command, for example, to see how
far the program has 'stepped' may give you misleading results (as in no
results at all!)
I _would_ suggest you turn on all the debug message options in your php.ini
file while trying to sort this out, though...
Please let me know how you sort this out - I am running into errors, too,
with a similar - very simple - if/else construct.

Richard,
Think the libraries you are looking for are usually packaged as gcc-libs (or
similar; your mileage may vary), and, if you're installing from rpms, will
usually be packaged separately from the 'base' gcc rpm.

Hello PHP Guru's!
I'm trying to install PHP in a HPUX-11 system, but I'm having a hard time
because everytime I run the 'make install' I don't get the actual "php"
binary. However, my libphp4.sl is created with no problem. My question is,
when compiling from source is there suppose to be a "php" binary? Here's my
configure line:
Any help is appreciated.

Rick,
We run HPUX here as well. You created PHP as a DSO module, which then needs to be
loaded by Apache upon startup (check out "AddModule" in the httpd.conf file). If you
want the PHP binary, recompile without the apxs option. Be aware that configuring PHP
as a CGI carries with it many security considerations.
