The relevant section of said tutorial can be found here: http://unknown.network32.net/tutorial.basic-server#configure.php.iis The Macromedia tutorial linked to in one of the previous comments does *not* describe the necessary information either.

Thanks, -[Unknown] [2004-09-01 17:53:38] joel at preacherboy dot net I couldn't for the life of me get IIS 5.1 and PHP 5 in CGI mode to work. I ignored all previous PHP 4 related instructions as I figured them to be irrelevant. After reading Philip's comments about the Macromedia tutorial, I finally decided using their method for CGI mode just might work. All it took to get IIS 5.1 and PHP 5 to work in CGI mode was the following lines, never referenced in the official documentation as what you *must* do: cgi.force_redirect = 0 // Default must be 1 when commented out. cgi.redirect_status_env = ENV_VAR_NAME Now that I'm not running in ISAPI mode, all of my scripts aren't open handles of dllhost.exe. dllhost.exe is no longer crashing every time the system is restarted. Yay! [2004-08-22 20:55:33] [EMAIL PROTECTED] The IIS docs need help, someone who uses IIS should really update these docs. Marking as critical.

[PHP-DOC] #31775 [Com]: Undefined behavior when uploaded file post_max_size
ID: 31775
Comment by: markusg at cants dot no dot spam dot de
Reported By: rudolf at softwares dot ch
Status: Open
Bug Type: Documentation problem
Operating System: Windows XP Pro
PHP Version: 4.3.9
New Comment:
PHP also completely truncates the POST request, so you can't even tell
there was one. Perhaps it would be more useful to process the incoming
data up to the point where the post_max_size limit is reached, and then
set a flag the programmer can check for.
Previous Comments:
[2005-01-31 11:40:53] rudolf at softwares dot ch
OK, but the documentation does not explain how this fairly common
condition (an uploaded file post_max_size) can be trapped.
[2005-01-31 11:27:55] [EMAIL PROTECTED]
The behavior is correct as POST data is received before the request is
run, but upload_max_filesize is checked later.
[2005-01-31 11:23:53] rudolf at softwares dot ch
Description:
I'm not sure if this is a documentation omission and/or a PHP bug:
I want to limit the size of files that can be uploaded to 8MB. I have
set upload_max_filesize to 8MB and post_max_size to 10MB. memory_limit
is not enabled.
When I upload a 9MB file, then $_FILES['myfile']['error'] is 1, as
documented. When I upload a 14MB file, PHP writes nothing to stdout and
writes the following to syslog:
PHP Warning: POST Content-Length of 14171720 bytes exceeds the limit
of 10485760 bytes in Unknown on line 0
The documentation doesn't say how PHP reacts when it uploads a file
larger than post_max_size, but I would assume that it should not give
up, which is the behavior I'm experiencing.
Reproduce code:
---
html
body
?php
if ( $_POST['but_submit'] ) {
printf(Got the submit!! error (%d) size (%d),
$_FILES['the_file']['error'],
$_FILES['the_file']['size']);
}
?
form method=post action=fileupload.php
enctype=multipart/form-data
table class=form border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0
tr
tdFile/td
td
input type=file name=the_file /
/td
/tr
tr
td colspan=2
input type=submit name=but_submit value=Submit /
/td
/tr
/table
/form
/body
/html
Expected result:
Unknown, since the documentation doesn't describe how PHP responds when
the size of the uploaded file is greater than post_max_size.
Actual result:
--
A PHP warning written to syslog, and nothing written to stdout. See
description above.

Hello! Both win32/install.txt and INSTALL need an update before the next PHP release so here's a patch for these two files: http://boogle.com/tmp/patch_phpsrc_install.txt It's an enormous patch because the line endings were incorrect for these files but have been fixed (install.txt = \r\n and INSTALL = \n). If you're curious on what content actually changed, see: http://boogle.com/tmp/patch_phpsrc_install_changed.txt There have been some important changes to these docs so please apply this patch ASAP. Regards, Philip
Re: [PHP-DOC] printer_open() documentation error
Hello!
I don't really have an answer except that according to the
source here:
http://lxr.php.net/source/pecl/printer/printer.c#256
It can return false but also has a chance to return nothing
which doesn't seem like a good idea. That is, if the
following condition fails nothing happens:
if (DocumentProperties(NULL, resource-handle,
resource-name, resource-pi2-pDevMode, NULL,
DM_OUT_BUFFER) == IDOK) {
I have no idea what this means but I consider this a PHP
bug, not a documentation bug. I suggest you open up a bug
report for this extension. I'm not sure how to report it
though considering this extension is PECL yet cannot be
found at pecl.php.net so I guess that's a bug too :) Once
fixed, we'll document the change (I added a user comment for
now).
Quick fix: Just know that it may return NULL or FALSE so
using a strict type check may not be the best route here.
Regards,
Philip

printer_open() is returning NULL upon failure, not FALSE i.e. the following
code doesn't work:
?php
$printer = greg-mac\\LaserJet_5;
if(($conn_printer = printer_open($printer)) === FALSE)
die(Could not connect to $printer\r\n);
var_dump($conn_printer);
printer_close($conn_printer);

This does:
?php
$printer = greg-mac\\LaserJet_5;
if(($conn_printer = printer_open($printer)) === NULL)
die(Could not connect to $printer\r\n);
var_dump($conn_printer);

RE: [PHP-DOC] printer_open() documentation error
Thanks Philip for the quick response!
You're right, since my original post I found that it will return NULL or
FALSE under different conditions. If the printer doesn't exist I get FALSE.
I'm getting NULL for a valid printer that is for some reason refusing the
connection.
So I guess it is a bug, but maybe a useful one :)
Regards,
Greg
