RE: [PHP-DB] PHP versions - Development server & live server...
I don't recall installing any optimising or encrypting extensions?? Are they perhaps installed with mySQL? How do I reinstall them, that is assuming I need them? -Original Message- From: M Saleh EG [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 14 October 2004 03:24 To: Peter Borcherds Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [PHP-DB] PHP versions - Development server & live server... Seems that ur optimizing and encrypting extensions are not loaded properly. That's what it means. Okay, It might mean that you're old PHP's PHP.ini is still there and the new one is using it while it doesnt have the extensions files. check if those files are there... -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Okay, installed 4.3.9 fine - however, I am getting an error at the bottom of my PHP pages - this has been happening for a few days now: Failed loading C:\Program Files\php4\turck-mmcache\mmcache.dll Failed loading C:\Program Files\php4\Zend\lib\ZendOptimizer.dll Any ideas? I have mySQL 4.0.13 installed - "Robby Russell" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Peter, Yes, if you build PHP5 code, it's very possible it will not work on 4.x hosting servers...especially object oriented programming. As a rule of thumb, keep your development and live environments as close as possible. :-) Cheers -Robby
Re: [PHP-DB] PHP versions - Development server & live server...
Hello, PHP 5 has some serious changes compared to 4.x This might be a good start: http://www.php.net/manual/en/faq.migration5.php For OO programming issues read those: php 4: http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop.php php 5: http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.php According to php.net: What has changed in PHP 5 PHP 5 and the integrated Zend Engine 2 have greatly improved PHP's performance and capabilities, but great care has been taken to break as little existing code as possible. So migrating your code from PHP 4 to 5 should be very easy. Most existing PHP 4 code should be ready to run without changes, but you should still know about the few differences and take care to test your code before switching versions in production environments. Although most existing PHP 4 code should work without changes, you should pay attention to the following backward incompatible changes: Regs, Rik O Belgium Op woensdag 13 oktober 2004 23:08, schreef Robby Russell: > On Wed, 2004-10-13 at 22:06 +0100, Peter Borcherds wrote: > > Hi Robby, > > > > Thanks for the swift reply!

Hi Robby, Thanks for the swift reply! Okay, so it should be fine to install the 4.3.9 version then - okay...now I assume I should hold-off on the 5.0.2 release then...? -Original Message- From: Robby Russell [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 13 October 2004 22:01 To: Peter Borcherds Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [PHP-DB] PHP versions - Development server & live server... Shouldn't cause any major issue. 4.3.x changes are typically bug fixes. So, if anything, you'll see a bug on the live servers that was fixed in your version, but most bugs are not so easy to produce. -Robby -- -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
