ID: 48761 Comment by: bruce at thinkcorporate dot com Reported By: aheckmann at m-s dot de Status: To be documented Bug Type: Reproducible crash Operating System: win32 only - Windows 2000 SP4 PHP Version: 5.3.0 New Comment:
Specifically where do I obtain and include the mentioned Ws2tcpip.h and Wspiapi.h files as the "fix" to getaddrinfo on older versions of Windows? Does the PHP.exe need to be recompiled with the mentioned includes? Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-08-14 23:40:34] bruce at thinkcorporate dot com I run IIS 6 on W2K SP4 and get the same error. I reviewed http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms738520%28VS.85%29.aspx How do I implement the fix? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-08-10 11:45:18] paj...@php.net Only 2000 and xp with SP1 (or no SP) are affected. 2003 does work as expected. By the way, I very much doubt that most servers use 2000. Set as "to be documented". ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-07-29 23:00:21] jon dot harrell at gmail dot com Until this bug is fixed wouldn't it make sense to place a notice warning all potential users that the binary downloads at http://windows.php.net/download/ require XP SP2 or above? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-07-17 12:04:31] jet5y at hotmail dot co dot uk However, considering that most servers running it would either be 2000 or 2003 and not XP then a workaround would seem more sensible at the slight detriment for now of XP SP2 systems. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-07-02 23:48:19] ka...@php.net The problem with fixing this (by doing an include to emulate the functions on systems without it (Windows 2000, XP prior SP2) is that it will slow down for other system that already got it, as it will attempt to load the ws2_32 library and search for the symbol locations, which is just slowing us down for no *real* reason. The question whether to fix this is trival, Me, Pierre and the others will discuss this and how to deal with it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
