[PHP-DOC] #40053 [NEW]: Missing installation instructions
From: todd at magnifisites dot com Operating system: Windows PHP version: Irrelevant PHP Bug Type: Documentation problem Bug description: Missing installation instructions Description: The MySQL Improved Extension manual page does not include instructions for installing on Windows systems. For example, the original MySQL Functions page http://php.net/ref.mysql has a section specific to PHP 5+ that states ... = MySQL is no longer enabled by default, so the php_mysql.dll DLL must be enabled inside of php.ini. = The documentation has done a great job in describing how to enable extensions for Windows installations in general as well as how to enable extensions for certain Function extensions (gd, curl, etc.). However, the current packaged PHP5 php.ini* files (both the php.ini-dist and php.ini-recommended) do not include the php_mysqli.dll extension configuration directive nor is there any reference to this particular directive found on the MySQL Improved Extension manual page vi Expected result: Add the extension line to the php.ini-dist and the php.ini-recommended files currently being shipped with the PHP5 distribution: extension=php_mysqli.dll Also, add an installation on Windows Systems instruction to the MySQL Improved Extension manual page (the text below is taken almost verbatim from the MySQL Functions page http://php.net/ref.mysql ): Installation on Windows Systems PHP 5+ MySQL Improved Extension manual page is not enabled by default, so the php_mysqli.dll DLL must be enabled inside of php.ini. Also, PHP needs access to the MySQL client library. A file named libmysql.dll is included in the Windows PHP distribution and in order for PHP to talk to MySQL this file needs to be available to the Windows systems PATH. See the FAQ titled "How do I add my PHP directory to the PATH on Windows" for information on how to do this. Although copying libmysql.dll to the Windows system directory also works (because the system directory is by default in the system's PATH), it's not recommended. As with enabling any PHP extension (such as php_mysql.dll), the PHP directive extension_dir should be set to the directory where the PHP extensions are located. See also the Manual Windows Installation Instructions. An example extension_dir value for PHP 5 is c:\php\ext Note: If when starting the web server an error similar to the following occurs: "Unable to load dynamic library './php_mysql.dll'", this is because php_mysql.dll and/or libmysql.dll cannot be found by the system. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=40053&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40053&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40053&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40053&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40053&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40053&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40053&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script:http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40053&r=needscript Try newer version:http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40053&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40053&r=support Expected behavior:http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40053&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40053&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40053&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40053&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40053&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40053&r=dst IIS Stability:http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40053&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40053&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40053&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40053&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error:http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40053&r=mysqlcfg

[PHP-DOC] #28683 [Csd]: addcslashes ASCII character conversion octal range invalid
ID: 28683 User updated by: todd at magnifisites dot com Reported By: todd at magnifisites dot com Status: Closed Bug Type: Documentation problem Operating System: RH Linux/Windows XP PHP Version: 4.3.6 New Comment: >>If you want to escape $, use just addcslashes($str, '$'); (Smiling) Thanks, but I was merely using that as an example. Indeed, I know how to accomplish my goal using the function, it's the documentation that is misleading. On the one hand the documentation is referencing ASCII number ranges, then in the follow-up example it jumps to octal representation (using the double quotations). And yes, your reference to the documentation regarding double-quoted strings turned on the lights -- thank you. Please understand my good intentions here, trying to make the language and documentation the best it can be. I highly recommend an update to the addcslashes manual pages to clarify the example is using octal representation. Sincerely, Todd Previous Comments: [2004-08-09 09:58:41] [EMAIL PROTECTED] You need to know that "\36" is the ASCII character number 30. Read http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.string.php#language.types.string.syntax.double If you want to escape $, use just addcslashes($str, '$'); -------- [2004-08-09 01:18:52] todd at magnifisites dot com Thanks for the response. To clarify, which statement in the addcslashes() documentation is incorrect? "Use the ord() function to find the ASCII value for a character." OK, I agree -- the ASCII value for the dollar sign character is 36. Now, back to the documentation... "charlist like "\0..\37", which would escape all characters with ASCII code between 0 and 37." Example 1. addcslashes() example Conclusion: The documentation states that characters with ASCII code lower than 32 and higher than 126 are converted to octal representation. I can understand that. However, as this example demonstrates, it seems the charlist parameter expects octal values, for any range, not just those characters with ASCII values < 32 or > 126. Still confused. Is it the second statement that is incorrect? Does the charlist parameter always expect octal values? Thanks -- Todd [2004-08-06 17:00:12] [EMAIL PROTECTED] This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient. Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better. I only saw one error in the documentation and have fixed it. Remember that octal representation is base 8, not base 10. \36 is not the '$' character, it is ASCII character 30, which is why your expected result and all its \ are wrong. ------------ [2004-06-07 21:53:51] todd at magnifisites dot com Description: The addcslashes manual page states that characters with ASCII code lower than 32 and higher than 126 are converted to octal representation. It then instructs us to use the ord() function to find the ASCII value for a character. I have found discrepancies in my tests (I've tested on both Linux and Windows servers). The octal representation conversion seems to occur completely throughout the range including 32 through 126, inclusive, rather than outside that range.
