ID: 12061 Comment by: jwhatcher at hotmail dot com Reported By: peters at connection dot ca Status: Bogus Bug Type: IIS related Operating System: Win 2K PHP Version: 4.0.6 New Comment:
I am using advance server running iis on several machines with php. I understand that this error means many things. What does it mean when you get it intermit tingly? I go to the page and get the error. Refresh the page and it loads. It doesn't happen every time nor does it occur on the same page. But it happens frequent enough to be a problem. Is there any correlation between the exe version and the error. Reason I ask is because on one server I run the dll I have not had one single 502 in my log file. But with the exe it occurs every day.

The headers it did return are: I've been to every message forum around the world and back and got nothing. What it did get me looking at lots was the php.ini file. I run a Win 2000 Server with the latest greast PHP 4.3.1 mySQL and IIS. When it hit me like a bull in a china shop, I've got this all up and running on my XP pro system to test my code on, let's look at that php.ini file, so I did. And I saw it..... XP setting: doc_root = IIS setting: doc_root = C:\Inetpub\wwwroot OK so I set my IIS php.ini doc_root to the XP setting doc_root = ...and WaBLAM! It worked! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-02-26 14:06:32] garlandj at hotmail dot com The "misbehaving" error is generated from working with notepad, then saving the file: myphpfile.php What actually gets saved is this: myphpfile.php.txt Be sure to drop down the menu to All Files *.* to eliminate the default .txt extension from be appended. Alternatively, enable viewing of file-extensions and delete the .txt from the end of the file. I cannot however figure out the "undefined variable" problem with Windows 2000/XP. If you have a form and create a post action, the data should be passed so that: I should be able to use HTML like this: <input type="text" size="5" value="" name="myvar"> And then use PHP in the same, or separate PHP file to reference the variable with $myvar. This does NOT work with Windows. When this variable is referenced in the code, an undefined variable error results. Editing the php.ini file is NOT a solution, but does get rid of the error (of course!) Instead of displaying the error, the data is non-existent/empty/not displayed/inacessible. I found a webpage that used the following to obtain all variables, so the data IS being processed and IS accessible, but not as it should be. This code (found elsewhere) will list all variables and correctly display their contents: <?php print "Posted variables: <br>"; foreach($HTTP_POST_VARS as $key=>$value) print $key . " = " . $value . "<br>"; ?> I suppose one could use this as a work-around. Any ideas? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-24 22:11:48] ecorriel at hotmail dot com regarding the entry: [24 Apr 2002 10:37am] [EMAIL PROTECTED] this is not a bug, you are just using dlls from previous versions of PHP. get the new dlls and overwrite the old ones. i just posted a note about this under the Installation for Windows section of the Manual. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-05 04:09:32] wyared at yahoo dot com I was facing this problem when writing a code on the w9x Notepad and modifying it by win2k editors or viseversa ... seems to be a problem converting between unicode and ASCII.. in my humble openion (donno if it's even right!) do it all on one editor. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-02 09:12:54] codingforums at couchfort dot org I have the same problems with phpmyadmin producing a CGI error in both panes after locking the anonymous IIS user out of the phpmyadmin directory. I provide a credentials for a user with proper permissions to that folder when accesssing it, but I still get the CGI errors. I don't think it's reasonable to grany anonymous users access to this administrative tool...
