There is no such term as back compatibility in computer parlance. 
The term is backward compatibility or backwards compatibility:

  Google Hits   phpdoc grep
back:  71,100 1*
backward:   1,130,000 7
backwards:  1,160,000 8

* Your entry.

I don't feel the change back to backward is necessary. If you wish
to submit a patch that rewords it differently but that is more concise
than your original patch, that'd be great.



[2007-02-25 04:39:27] danielc at analysisandsolutions dot com

Hi David:

Please switch back to backward in the phrase for back
compatibility.

In addition, I feel the reworded explanation that got committed is just
juggling around the old explanation.  While this is clearer, it's not
crystal clear.



[2007-02-24 21:10:08] [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Your description in the patch was a little too verbose so I have
reworded it myself.



[2007-02-17 18:16:59] danielc at analysisandsolutions dot com

Description:

The note for the encoding parameter in the mb-strrpos documentation is
ambiguous to me.  It can be mistakenly interpreted as meaning that the
parameter was added in 5.2 when in reality it's behavior was modified.

Hi David:

The name of the file and the id in the root element is migration5. 
The standard is to use that as the base of all id's throughout the
document.  So how is using migrating5 in the errorrep id not a bug?

There are a few parameters added in PHP 5.2 have not been documented yet. 
Here's a patch adding them to the function signatures.  While we'll still
need to get someone to add the explanation for these parameters, this is a

Nicely put nlopess.  By the way, I've tweaked the patch in the last few
minutes.  So, if it gets used, please obtain a fresh copy from the URI,
above.



[2004-12-29 20:25:28] [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I've checked libsqlite code. It is using GetTempPath() on windows to
get a temporary file.
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/fileio/base/gettemppath.asp)

According to MSDN docs the order is:
1. The path specified by the TMP environment variable.
2. The path specified by the TEMP environment variable.
3. The path specified by the USERPROFILE environment variable.
4. The Windows directory.


So, I think this should be documented.



[2004-12-29 18:02:01] [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Isn't this more a SQLLite problem than a documentation problem/PHP
Problem?



[2004-12-02 22:47:46] danielc at analysisandsolutions dot com

I'm talking about Windows 2000 Pro and XP Pro.

TEMP _might_ be set if the web server is running under the SYSTEM
account.  But if the web server service is running under an unprivilged
user account TEMP isn't automatically available.

If TEMP isn't set, the sqlite extension goes to write the temporary
files into the windows directory.  Not a good idea.



[2004-12-02 18:59:53] [EMAIL PROTECTED]

But windows *always* set the TEMP var by default, doesn't it?
I never had such problems on windows...

To which version of windows are you refering to? Windows 9x?

[PHP-DOC] #31978 [NEW]: msql_fetch_field() doesn't produce primary_key property

2005-02-14 Thread danielc at analysisandsolutions dot com
From: danielc at analysisandsolutions dot com
Operating system: NetBSD 2.0
PHP version:  5CVS-2005-02-15 (dev)
PHP Bug Type: Documentation problem
Bug description:  msql_fetch_field() doesn't produce primary_key property

Description:

The documentation at http://php.net/msql_fetch_field says the output of
msql_fetch_field() includes a property named primary_key.  But mSQL does
not have primary keys nor is this property created in the object created by
this function.

Please remove the primary_key property from the docs.

[PHP-DOC] #28912 [Csd]: MYSQLI_TYPE_STRING != mysqli_fetch_field() type for VARCHAR column

 New Comment:

If anyone wonders about the second example returning
253/MYSQLI_TYPE_VAR_STRING for the CHAR column, it's due to silent
column changes by MySQL:

if a table contains any variable-length columns... all CHAR columns
longer than three characters are changed to VARCHAR columns.

This bug has been fixed in CVS.

Snapshots of the sources are packaged every three hours; this change
will be in the next snapshot. You can grab the snapshot at
http://snaps.php.net/.
 
Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better.





[2004-06-29 01:37:12] danielc at analysisandsolutions dot com

Ah.  Thanks for the clarification.  Then
phpdoc/en/reference/mysqli/constants.xml needs updating.

You said:
varchar column definition returns MYSQLI_TYPE_VAR_STRING,
char column definition returns MYSQLI_TYPE_STRING.

Though the docs say:
MYSQLI_TYPE_STRING  (integer)   Field is defined as VARCHAR
MYSQLI_TYPE_CHAR (integer)  Field is defined as CHAR

BUT, not so fast...  CHAR columns return 253, but MYSQLI_TYPE_STRING's
value is 254.  And MYSQLI_TYPE_CHAR is defined, but what's it for?

?php
mysqli_query($db-connection,
 'CREATE TABLE bar (Vf VARCHAR(5),'
 . ' Cf CHAR(5))');

$r = mysqli_query($db-connection,
  'SELECT Vf, Cf FROM bar');

$tmp = mysqli_fetch_field($r);
echo $tmp-name type found = $tmp-type\n;
echo 'MYSQLI_TYPE_VAR_STRING = ' . MYSQLI_TYPE_VAR_STRING . \n\n;

$tmp = mysqli_fetch_field($r);
echo $tmp-name type found = $tmp-type\n;
echo 'MYSQLI_TYPE_STRING = ' . MYSQLI_TYPE_STRING . \n\n;

echo So, what's this for?...\n;
echo 'MYSQLI_TYPE_CHAR = ' . MYSQLI_TYPE_CHAR . \n;

mysqli_query($db-connection,
 'DROP TABLE bar');
?

vvv OUTPUT 
Vf type found = 253
MYSQLI_TYPE_VAR_STRING = 253

Cf type found = 253
MYSQLI_TYPE_STRING = 254

So, what's this for?...
MYSQLI_TYPE_CHAR = 1
^^^



[2004-06-28 23:48:20] [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

varchar column definition returns MYSQLI_TYPE_VAR_STRING, 
char column definition returns MYSQLI_TYPE_STRING. 



[2004-06-28 19:35:22] danielc at analysisandsolutions dot com

Documentation isn't involved.  This is purely code.  The type
property returned from the function != the value of the constant.

Perhaps your getting the right result is due to both of us running
different versions of the software?  Here's what I'm on:

MySQL:  Ver 14.5 Distrib 4.1.2-alpha, for Win95/Win98 (i32)
PHP:PHP 5.0.0-dev (cli) (built: Jun 28 2004 16:29:27)



[2004-06-28 18:51:13] [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Looks like a documentation problem. However I couldn't 
find this in documentation. Also the example output in 
mysqli_fetch_field returns 254. 
 
Could you please give me a link to the wrong 
documentation?

Hmmm...  I now see that the docs say the link argument can be a
connection id or a transaction id.

The reason I posted the bug was my test code didn't work properly when
a connection id was used.

I will test further and report back.

[PHP-DOC] #24970 [NEW]: install.windows.php

2003-08-14 Thread danielc at analysisandsolutions dot com
From: danielc at analysisandsolutions dot com
Operating system: Windows
PHP version:  Irrelevant
PHP Bug Type: Documentation problem
Bug description:  install.windows.php

Description:

Hi Folks:

I would like to strongly urge install.windows.php be changed in regards to
how DLL's and paths are handled.

The current recommendations say users should move the various needed DLLs
into a location that's within the path, like c:\winnt\system32.

This is cumbersome and prone to error, particularly when upgrading.

The FAR simpler solution is to change the path itself.  All one needs to
do is add ;c:\php;c:\php\dlls to the end of one's path statement and
you're good to go!

Now, one can switch between PHP versions just by moving the old
installation into a different directory and unziping the new version into
c:\php.

This is what I've done on my system and it works great.

Thanks,

Description:

Hi Folks:

I would like to strongly urge install.windows.php be changed in regards
to how DLL's and paths are handled.

The current recommendations say users should move the various needed
DLLs into a location that's within the path, like c:\winnt\system32.

This is cumbersome and prone to error, particularly when upgrading.

The FAR simpler solution is to change the path itself.  All one needs
to do is add ;c:\php;c:\php\dlls to the end of one's path statement
and you're good to go!

Now, one can switch between PHP versions just by moving the old
installation into a different directory and unziping the new version
into c:\php.

This is what I've done on my system and it works great.

Thanks,

--Dan
