Description: ------------ There's a slight mistake in the french translation of the 'mcrypt' introduction page. The english version can be found here: http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.mcrypt.php The french version here: http://www.php.net/manual/fr/ref.mcrypt.php On that page there's an 'Installation' section. Here's the english version: "Installation You need to compile PHP with the --with-mcrypt[=DIR] parameter to enable this extension. DIR is the mcrypt install directory. Make sure you compile libmcrypt with the option --disable-posix-threads." And here's the french version: "Installation Vous devez compiler PHP avec l'option --with-mcrypt=[DIR] pour activer cette extension. DIR est le dossier d'installation de mcrypt. Assurez-vous de compiler libmcrypt sans l'option --disable-posix-threads." The problem lies in the last sentence regarding that compilation option. Basically the french translation says the exact opposite of the original text: "Make sure you compile libmcrypt *without* the option --disable-posix-threads." Well so far I've heard that PHP is not guaranteed to be thread-safe so it sounds quite normal to me to compile modules/associated libs *without* any threads stuff. So compiling libmcrypt *with* that --disable-posix-threads option sounds right. Moreover I think the original english documentation has been reviewed more often than the french translation and an error in the english documentation would have aroused comments. Well. Considering that the original english documentation is right, the french translation should read: "Installation Vous devez compiler PHP avec l'option --with-mcrypt=[DIR] pour activer cette extension. DIR est le dossier d'installation de mcrypt. Assurez-vous de compiler libmcrypt avec l'option --disable-posix-threads." -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=33158&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33158&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33158&r=trysnapshot50 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.1): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33158&r=trysnapshot51 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33158&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33158&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33158&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33158&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33158&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33158&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33158&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33158&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33158&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33158&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33158&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33158&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33158&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33158&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33158&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33158&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33158&r=mysqlcfg
