Re: [PHP-DEV] PHP extension initialisation

[Thomas Wentzel]

Hi Tom,

Did you ever get this problem solved?
I'm fighting the same issue - and if no better solution present it self,
I'm going
to do it by accessing a file of my choise. If the file doesn't exist -
create it and we
know we are in the first call. If it does exist - delete it, and we know
this is the
second call. This is obviously an ugly hack, so I really hope you've
come up with
something cleaner.

TIA
  Thomas

[PHP-DEV] MINIT RINIT et al

[Thomas Wentzel]

Ok!

My last postings were about the lack of global init/shutdown functions.
Derick
was kind enough to tell me, that these were deprecated and that I should
use MINIT
for my initalisations. Well.. this was what I had been doing until it
just didn't seem
adequate for my needs. I decided to give it another go but my attempts
have given rise
to some issues I need explained.

As I'm compiling my modules into php I understand and have verified that
MINIT is
called whenever I start apache. (and MSHUTDOWN when I stop apache)

RINIT/RSHUTDOWN continue to baffle me though. Why do RINIT get called
when I
start apache? (after MINIT). Shouldn't that happen only if I had
compiled my extension as
a dynamic extension, that required dl'ing?
In fact RINIT/RSHUTDOWN only gets called once (when starting/stopping
apache).

As I read the documentation RINIT should be called whenever I direct my
browser to a
page which requires php, and RSHUTDOWN when that request has ended. Am I
getting
this all backwards?

TIA
  Thomas

Well.. a quick glimpse revealed the following two pages (don't know if there
are more)
http://www.zend.com/apidoc/zend.structure.module-block.php
The cell explaining "Remaining structure elements" clearly insinuates
that
the GINIT/GSHUTDOWN be present (not to mention fig. 8-4 :)
http://www.zend.com/apidoc/zend.startup-and-shutdown.php
The first line of the second paragraph also speaks of these...

Would it be too much a pain if I were to modify the code to call my global
functions?
Do you recall in which version this functionality was removed?

Re: [PHP-DEV] Macros for global startup/shutdown functions

[Thomas Wentzel]

Thanks, Derick!

Does this also mean, that I can't "hardcode" this functionality?
(ie. adding to functions to the zend_module_entry struct)
As it is I actually have a use for this, and have succesfully compiled
my extension with references to such hardcoded functions - allthough
they don't seem to get called at this point!

[PHP-DEV] Macros for global startup/shutdown functions

[Thomas Wentzel]

Hi!

How come there are no macros for global startup and shutdown functions?
The Zend API documentation refers to such terms and even instructs that
one should
use STANDARD_MODULE_PROPERTIES_EX instead of
STANDARD_MODULE_PROPERTIES if global functions are to be used.
I have even found references to ZEND_GINIT/GSHUTDOWN on the web, but...

Admittedly, I haven't checked newer versions, but as I am using 4.1.2
and these terms
have been used dating back to the 4.0 release this doesn't seem to be
the issue.

Regards
  Thomas

[PHP-DEV] SIGPIPE

[Thomas Wentzel]

Hi!

I have a problem with an extension that I wrote for communicating with
an old version of raima
(a database). The problem is that whenever a SIGPIPE occurs, the
database acts up!
Well - I am hoping someone could give me a poitner as how - or rather
where - to handle the SIGPIPE.
a search in the php source shows, that SIGPIPE is only handle in
ext/mysql and sapi. Should I do a
SIG_IGN in my extension or should I mess with the source of raima (which
I have available)?

TIA

I'm very sorry, but it seems - that the solution with
import_request_variables
is even worse. I've tried import_request_variables with ("g","f") and
("g","foo")
but now foo isn't even set in file2.php (the url arg to file3 is now
"bar")

Re: [PHP-DEV] parse_str and session vars

[Thomas Wentzel]

Actually, yes it does...

$foo="foobar"; instead of parse_str($QUERY_STRING);
in file2.php - then file3.php echoes "foo: foobar".
Obviously - otherwise there wasn't any point in having sessions.

And Markus - thanks, but I tried to subsitute parse_str($QUERY_STRING) 
with parse_str("foo=foobar") which also didn't set my session var, foo
So that is not the problem either!

Re: [PHP-DEV] parse_str and session vars]

[Thomas Wentzel]

Sure, Rasmus!
But...
I'm using parse_str because file2 in my example is supposed to be
a generic handler for all other scripts on my "site". Offcourse I could
use "1.5 million" $HTTP_GET_VARS for each registered session variable
(as
I wouldn't know what to expect)
The reason I did write to this list - is because there obviously is 
something wrong with the way parse_str works and how it is supposed to
work.
Not because I don't know how to get around this "obstacle"

[PHP-DEV] parse_str and session vars

Hi,

I have encountered an issue with parse_str, that I believe needs to
be addressed - allthough I might be mistaken, and in that case feel
free to ridicule me - and tell me to go to the general list :)

Well... I want to be able to do something like this:

file1.php:
  
  
  
  

file2.php:
  

file3.php:
  ";
  ?>

>From the manual: (explanation for parse_str)
  Parses str as if it were the query string passed via an URL and sets
variables in the current scope. If the second
  parameter arr is present, variables are stored in this variable as an
array elements instead.

I would expect that the script would result in file3.php echoing, "foo:
foobar" - but that's not the case, instead I get: "foo: bar", but the
url is: "file3.php?old=bar&foo=foobar". Doesn't session_start introduce
all the registered vars into the current scope - and since parse_str
"sets varibles in the current scope" why doesn't this scheme work?

Thanks for listening
  Thomas

Re: [PHP-DEV] enable truetype string function in gd

[Thomas Wentzel]

Okay!

Apparently I have to supply the full path when using imagettfbbox and 
imagettftext - This definitely changed from gd-1.8.x to gd-2.x - might
be 
a good idea to add this to the documentation???
But still - There's still an issue about the imageftbbox and imagefttext
functions...

Re: [PHP-DEV] enable truetype string function in gd

[Thomas Wentzel]

I realized that just after posting my question... Though solving my
configure problem I still can't get freetype to work...
I had everything running under php-4.0.4 (including gd and freetype 1.x)
However due to the patent issues it is necessary for me to use freetype2
which isn't too bad in itself ;)
Well...
I saw an "old" submission from Wez claiming that the problems I were 
experiencing wasn't a PHP problem, but rather a gd problem. I tried out
the little C program he included and true enough - The problem was, that
gd for some reason didn't include TrueType support (allthough everything
suggested that it ought to)... Well after searching high and low - I
found
this excellent :) link, http://www.alt-php-faq.org/local/68/ , which
says
that gd-1.8.x doesn't support freetype2 - and how to successfully
compile
gd and freetype into PHP. I realize that this has little to do as such
with
the forum of this mailing list, but I also believe, that many get their
first 
experience with gd end freetype when trying to compile it into php,
which sort
of justifies my entry ;)
Ho hum... Now I have everything up and running - or so it would seem,
but when
I try to utilize the imagettfbbox og imagettftext functions I get an
error saying
"Could not find/open font". In light of the troubles with gd and
freetype - it would 
seem likely that this problem also stems from that and not PHP - but I'm
asking here 
anyway - because it seems that this forum is much more active than the
various gd and 
freetype forums.
Another thing... I ran through the ext/gd sources and found some
functions (not included
in the manual pages) namely imageftbbox and imagefttext, but whenever I
try to use these
functions I get an error saying that freetype2 support wasn't included
in the PHP build (??)
Can anybody shed some light on this?

[PHP-DEV] enable truetype string function in gd

[Thomas Wentzel]

Hi!

I try to get the above mentioned to work with the 4.0.6 release on
Linux!

But even though I provide the configure script with the
--enable-gd-native-ttf
switch, it reports that the feature is a no go

./configure --enable-modules=so --without-mysql --with-pgsql=/usr/local
\
--with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs --with-raima --with-gd=/usr/local \
--with-freetype-dir=/usr/local/include/freetype2 --enable-gd-native-ttf
\
--with-jpeg-dir=/usr --with-xpm-dir=/usr/X11R6 --with-zlib-dir=/usr
--with-png-dir=/usr

:
checking whether to include GD support... yes
checking whether to enable truetype string function in gd... no <- This
really bugs me!!
Never the less... We enable it anyway
checking for the location of libjpeg... yes
checking for jpeg_read_header in -ljpeg... (cached) yes

The "Never the less..." line comes from me trying to force the
definition of USE_GD_IMGSTRTTF in ext/gd/config.m4... And still it
doesn't 
work CAAARP!!! (I simply altered = "yes" to != "yes")

Any thoughts??

[PHP-DEV] apache segfaults following script execution

[Thomas Wentzel]

Hi,

I'm having a strange problem that I hope some of you can answer...

I've been writing an extension which I use (obviously :-)
The problem is that after the script is executed (in it's 
entirety - even PHP_RSHUTDOWN_FUNCTION is executed) apache 
segfaults...

I used gdb and started apache in "single-thread" mode (using -X)
- and this is what I get:

--- output starts here ---
(gdb) run
Starting program: /usr/sbin/httpd -X

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x400ed431 in _IO_vfprintf (s=0xb47c, format=0x4086cc80 "%s(%d) :
Actual location (location was relayed)\n", 
ap=0xb590) at vfprintf.c:1259
1259vfprintf.c: No such file or directory.
--- output ends here ---

I'm in no way blind to the fact that this probably has something
to do with my extension, but exactly how has eluded me for some time

Thanks
  Thomas

Re: [PHP-DEV] associative arrays

[Thomas Wentzel]

Uhhh sorry!

What I should have said is that... The associative array I wish to
return is to be an array element of  an associative array ;)
Meaning... I need the functionality of add_assoc_array but since
this function doesn't exist - I have to manipulate with the
zend_hash_xxx in order to get what I want - but I fail to connect
my constructed array with a name...

Re: [PHP-DEV] Shared memory in extensions

[Thomas Wentzel]

Alexander!

You're absolutely right - that was exactly what I had done!
Hmm I guess that at his point I have noone fooled :) I'm totally new
to all this shm stuff and PHP extensions or rather the intrinsic details
of their 'inner' workings... I simply figured that if I allocate a
shared 
memory segment in PHP_MINIT_FINCTION then it should be destroyed in
PHP_MSHUTDOWN_FUNCTION. The error I did (I reckon) was to compile and 
replace the PHP-module before restarting apache. This way the new 
PHP_MSHUTDOWN_FUNCTION was called before PHP_MINIT_FUNCTION.

Where can I find a good explanation as to what the differences are
between
MINIT, RINIT, MSHUTDOWN and RSHUTDOWN?

hehe - how would one go about removing a shared memory segment
manually??

Well thank you all (Alexander in particular) for your answers they
helped alot

shmid=shmget((key_t)5346,sizeof(dbinfo),0666|IPC_CREAT);
which returns -1

I just found something about a patch to apache, that should enable
som shared memory pools across http session! Is this something I 
should use? It was a rather old patch (for apache 1.3.4/5)...

[PHP-DEV] Shared memory in extensions

[Thomas Wentzel]

Hi

Can anybody help me?

I'm trying to allocate some shared memory in the PHP_MINIT_FUNCTION - 
but it fails everytime during the shmget function.
I then did a little stand-alone C-prog, that did the same (tried to 
allocate 3,5M of mem) and it works fine - everytime!
Is there some issued when using shared mem in php extensions?

BR
  Thomas

Re: [PHP-DEV] Global variables in extensions

[Thomas Wentzel]

Thank you very much for your answer, Zeev. It really helped me
understand
(to some extend) what is going on.

Yes! I considered global variables to be more global than the case being
:(
Well I guess I should go for the shared memory approach then, but how?
Reading 
about shmget in the man-page revealed to me, that it is necessary to
store a key
that is used to reference the memory segment, but how is this done! If I
could 
store the key, then I would have no need to use shared memory. Obviously
I could
allocate a segment in MINIT and use this throughout, but then it
wouldn't be 
possible for me to alter the segment size - which sounds sort of bad...

Hi Zeev,

My extension is compiled _into_ php which is loaded as a module in
apache!
I'm not using the php.ini file at the moment - is it really necessary?

[PHP-DEV] Global variables in extensions

[Thomas Wentzel]

Hi!

I have a problem that is driving me crazy.

I need to allocate some memory that will be available
throughout a session.

Firstly a database connection is established, but at the
same time I read all relevant information about the db (records,
attributes, typedeclarations and such and such). This is a rather
lengthy process so I am trying to store these information in memory
for later retrieval.
This is the part, that doesn't work. Whenever a new page is loaded
the information is lost. I have tried using static (global) 
variables, and I have tried the ZEND_BEGIN/END_MODULE_GLOBALS. 
About the ZEND_BEGIN/END... approach: the std. skeleton defines these 
macros:
#ifdef ZTS
#define RAIMAG(v) (raima_globals->v)
#define RAIMALS_FETCH() php_raima_globals
*raima_globals=ts_resource(raima_globals_id)
#else
#define RAIMAG(v) (raima_globals.v)
#define RAIMALS_FETCH()
#endif

How do I utilize ZTS? Where is raima_globals_id defined?
I do set a variable in PHP_MINIT_FUNCTION that variable is always set!
But any other variables from the ZEND_BEGIN/END_MODULE_GLOBALS section
(phew)
that is set later do not remember their value??? Why is that?

Thanks
  Thomas

Thank you very much, Wez! 

Perhaps you can be so nice as to answer my next question also ;)
Whenever I do a configure with --enable-debug I get close to
a zillion errors when compiling (or linking rather) it seems that I get
the following two errors for each function in my code:
"multiple definition of `foobar'" and "first defined here"

Am I supposed to do something particular in order for debug to work???

Re: [PHP-DEV] Leaking references

[Thomas Wentzel]

Erhm all this talk about memory leaks - made me curious.
How do I go about getting the sort of output, that Wez are showing
below.
I suspect that the extension I'm writing on has some severe memory
issues.
These issues are occuring in the PHP script, that utilizes my extension.
Every other reload (or so) it simply crashes in the middle of a larger
block 
of 'pure' PHP code (nowhere near any reference to my extension).

Thanks for listening
  Thomas

[PHP-DEV] Persistant connections...

[Thomas Wentzel]

Hi,

I'm hacking on a module that is communicating with an old 
flatfile db. When a connection to the db is made, all necessary 
information (such as record and field sizes/types)from the db are 
read. 

 If php-script A opens a connection to the db, and then loads a 
new php-script B - then the connection is automagically shut down.
I believe this is due to the fact, that I do the following:
PHP_MINIT_FUNCTION(raima)
{
// _d_closeall simply closes all open connections
le_raima=register_list_destructors(_d_closeall,NULL); 
return SUCCESS;
}
But how are these list destructors used? How should I avoid that my 
connection is closed _every_ time I load a new page? Is it simply a 
matter of placing some logic in _d_closeall, that only does the actual 
db-closing if appropriate? AND can I somehow differentiate between 
a page load and a browser termination? When to use zend_register_\
list_destructors_ex???

 How and where should I place my data - for them to be shared across 
the entrire session. At the moment I have declared some static variables 
in the beginning of the source file - is this OK or am I supposed to do 
it in a special PHP-style?

TIA
  Thomas

[PHP-DEV] Returning multi-dimensional arrays from within PHP modules

[Thomas Wentzel]

Hi,

I were refered to this list...
I found an old entry in the dev archive, explaining that I could achieve
my goals, by "for each inner array you
allocate a zval*, initialize it, add data to it, and add it to the
return value."
But how exactly do I add a zval?
My guess is add_assoc_resource but where do the integer come from?
Is it the returnvalue from array_init(allocatedZvalP)???

TIA
  Thomas

Hi all,

I've been using array_init and add_assoc_xxx to return an array from
within my PHP module... But how would I go about returning the following
stucture

Array (Array (Name, Type, Size))
