-Summary: ibase functions
Reported By: 3tantes at inbox dot lv
Status: Open
Bug Type: Documentation problem
Operating System: ANY
PHP Version: 5.0.1
New Comment:
I don't notice a code difference but AFAICT in PHP 5 the following
happened:
* interbase.c was split up into multiple files
* Using ibase_add_user() as an example, the following code remains the
same:
PHP_FUNCTION(ibase_add_user)
{
_php_ibase_user(INTERNAL_FUNCTION_PARAM_PASSTHRU,
isc_action_svc_add_user);
}
* but the paramaters apparently changed, here's the proto definition in
the source:
PHP 4:
/* {{{ proto bool ibase_add_user(string server, string dba_user_name,
string dba _password, string user_name, string password [, string
first_name [, string middle_name [, string last_name]]]) Add an user to
security database (only for IB6 or later) */
PHP 5:
/* {{{ proto bool ibase_add_user(resource service_handle, string
user_name, string password [, string first_name [, string middle_name
[, string last_name]]]) Add a user to security database */
Someone who knows ibase, and/or can confidently understand php-src,
should add appropriate CHANGELOG entries to the appropriate ibase docs
rather than depend only the on prototype comments.
I assume service_handle comes from ibase_connect(), right?

bool ibase_add_user ( resource service_handle, string user_name, string
password [, string first_name [, string middle_name [, string
last_name]]] )
i'm talking about the first paramater service_handle of function. in
earler versions it wasn't there. this may cause problems on upgrade,
cause this change is not backward-compatible.
is there any section, where php programmers can see the dangerous
areas, that must be changed when upgrading? it would be nice if there'd
be in documentation of ibase_add_user, ibase_modify_user etc a
note/warning, that this function has changed in php5 and that these
changes are not backward compatible.

Could you please explain what this means, and how/what ibase
documentation should be changed?

Description:
------------
PLEASE note in documentation that ibase functions now use services:
* ibase_add_user
* ibase_modify_user
(maybe some other functions too, i haven't used others)
it may cause some problems, when upgrading from php4 to php5!
