Hi Ray, Does this issue coincide with an upgrade to PHP 5.4, and if so, which version of PHP were you running before? You could try to email the maintainer listed, Uwe Steinmann u...@steinmann.cx or ste...@php.net, but it looks like it's been a while since anyone has touched that code. If this is because of backwards incompatible changes in PHP (e.g., http://www.php.net/manual/en/migration54.incompatible.php, http://php.net/manual/en/migration53.incompatible.php), you could try to avoid the PHP bindings Uwe developed and merely use PHP to call a C program that directly deals with his project pslib: http://pslib.sourceforge.net/ Sorry for the trouble, Adam -- Nephtali: A simple, flexible, fast, and security-focused PHP framework http://nephtaliproject.com

Thanks for the reply. It certainly could be due to an upgrade. I wrote my code a while ago, then let it sit. A few days ago I tried to use it again. I first had to deal with a change in the way call by reference worked in php. (I had to delete the '' from some function calls.) Did that correspond to the 5.3 - 5.4 upgrade? I will look at the links you provided. Thanks again. Ray -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
