Have you checked the "extension_dir" in php.ini??
I got fed up with the path statements, so I simply put the dll's I need
in system32, and it works fine. Not a good lookin solution, but it works
in my test environment (in production we use Linux).

which version are you using 4.0.4pl1 + ?
there's no mssql70.dll in this (and higher) release(s) anymore.
there's only php_mssql.dll left, which should be valid for MS-SQL server
6.5/7.0/2000.
my guess is that you've only copied over a newer build over the older
build, and php is now trying to load mssql70.dll which isn't compatible
with the API NO.
use php_mssql.dll and delete the others...

Yes, I believe it is possible. You may need to use the sybase client, or

I don't think so - you have just been lucky. I think that PWS can get itself
into some funny state where it seems to ignore the scriptmaps you set up in
the registry, or at least act on them incorrectly.
I've helped out several people with PWS problems going back to the first php
4 release. Several of those finally managed to get things going by
reinstalling PWS. The rest got themselves a decent web server :)

Forget this - I managed to get onto php.net this morning and noticed the
helpful comment from Bernard Blundell - if anyone else has this problem, just
add the constant , ORA_FETCHINTO_NULLS, to the ora_fetch_into() function: -
ora_fetch_into($cursor, &a, ORA_FETCHINTO_NULLS)

I had the same problem with Apache and NT4.
PHP 4.0.5 instead works fine.

The error means that php didn't output anything.
Possible reasons are:
php couldn't run for some reason. Go to the command line and change to the
directory containing php.exe. Run php.exe -i and you will either see an
error message which will be helpful, or a screenful of html, which means
that php works.
Once you've got php working at the command line, try via the server again.
If it still fails then it could be one of the following:
file permissions on your php script, php.exe, php4ts.dll or any php
extensions you are trying to load are such that the anonymous internet user
(ISUR_<machinename> cannot access them.
The script file does not exist (or possibly isn't where you think it is
relative to your web root directory).
If you get to this point in the email, things should now be working ok. Let
us know if they are not!
Cheers

Hi,
still can't get php 4.05 working w/ apache 1.3.19 on win2k. Apache works
fine without php, but gives an "module not found" error message when
configured to use php4apache.dll . The thing is, the dll is in the correct
directory as listed in httpd.conf. I have tried changing apache versions and
changing the location of the php4apache.dll, but to no avail -
any ideas ?
Nick
I don't know where you have placed you files, so I'll use my setup:
Apache root folder: C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache
PHP root folder: C:\Program Files\php
php.ini file: C:\Program Files\php
1) http.conf:
Right, this is my entry in http.conf for the module in question;
LoadModule php4_module c:/progra~1/php/sapi/php4apache.dll
Note: I use the 8.3 format for the directory part of the entry.
Later, use this line in http.conf to parse *.php files with the php engine;
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
Note: you can other extensions (.htm .html, etc) if you want the php engine
to parse them.
2) php.ini
As an aside, my php.ini file is placed in C:\Program Files\php. I created
the System Enviromental Variable PHPRC that has the path C:\program
files\php entered as its value.
3)php4ts.dll
Make sure you place a copy of this file into you system32 directory, usually
C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32
Hope this works for you.

Don't forget to place php4ts.dll in the proper place also.
php4apache.dll is the apache interface to php4ts.dll which is the meat of
PHP.

you can configure apache to parse files with .html extension too
edit httpd.conf
and make sure you have the following:
Action application/x-httpd-php4 "/php4/php.exe"
AddType application/x-httpd-php4 .php .html
this way apache parses files with both extensions .php and .html

yes of course you can do that. But what I actually meant was that on a
shared server you don't usually have the chance to configure the httpd.conf
But ok, I have to admit that I forgot that you can do most of these thing in
a .htaccess file as well

Well, well...
PC-Mag, as most ZD-Net and IDG mag's, are in my opinion too dependant on
Micro$oft advertising to make any "real" reviews on anything.
And, as Joe Brown said, their target readers are windows-users. The
"normal" windows user can't possibly read and/or understand ASCII code
in an editor, it has to bee in a fancy "IDE tool" with lots of blips and
gizmos.
Well, he's right in one statement; PHP, MySQL and Apache are most stable
on the Un*x (read Linux) platform. They were developed by Un*x people,
for Un*x platforms. Never the less, the windows versions of these
products do a terrific job.
The problem is what you define as "production environment" and "stable
for production". In the history of Un*x the standards are set very high.
All those 99.9999....% statements require some really goood software.
These conditions can, in my opinion, never be met in any windows
environment. The Micro$oft platforms just isn't that stable themself.
Still PHP, MySQL and Apache work very fine on the windows platform. In
comparission to other (read Micro$oft) products they DO perform well and
are VERY stable.
Another problem is that people tend to think it's a pice of cake to set
up a webserver. If you take any standard, out of the box solution, yes.
But, to set up a webserver with some functionality, databases and
intelligence needs some knowledge.
Some really good ideas in how to seperate homepage development from
server management and development can be found in Sterling Hughes "Top
21 PHP progamming mistakes - Part I: Seven Textbook Mistakes" #16. "Not
separating client side from server side"
(http://www.zend.com/zend/art/mistake.php). Poeple tend to look at
client side and server side development as the same thing, and that's
not true. Though Micro$oft often mislead people to that idea...
/Johan
Hmmm, that tended to be quite misspelled and long, sorry bout that...
Nice to know that some well known pc magazine wants to test PHP.
Not so nice to know that people testing software for a major computer
magazine don't know how to read the manual.
Installing as an ISAPI module is not THAT difficult (Or am I a genius?). At
least I don't know anyone having problems with that. And besides the
majority of people on the PHPWIN mailing list seem to be capable of
performing the steps in the readme file.
The second comment they make is that "The normal way to do database
programming is through an abstraction layer such as ADO or JDBC But the PHP
way is to use a database-specific API."
Note that there ARE libraries available that do this abstraction for you and
on the other hand it sometimes is nice to be able to optimise for a specific
database. The flexability of PHP is one of it's strengths and not (in my
opinion) a weekness.
The two points they complain about are both pretty well known and no longer
a real problem. (The ISAPI version of PHP is getting better and better but
still not the same as the linux version).
I won't comment on the Zend products as I actually don't use them.
Conclusion.
The story is not a review of a product but a review of the knowledge of the
people working at ZD.
Robert Klinkenberg
Perhaps people should contact him, or the magazine and make logical, well
thought out arguments as to why the article was in error.
Be careful that you don't attack him or accuse him of being an idiot, or
biased. Just point out reasons why database abstraction is a bad idea,
etc.
I highly doubt that Larry Seltzer or any of the ZDNet editors read this
newsgroup, so our griping here won't do anything to correct the erroneous
article.
If enough of us do this, he or his editor will either retract the article
and/or readdress the issue with the attention it deserves.
If there are any writers here, why not write a counter article and see if
ZDNet wants to publish it.

If you want to respond to the article somewhere where it will be noticed by
the author and people who have read the article then try the feedback form
at the end of the article:
http://www.zdnet.com/products/stories/reviews/0,4161,2714115,00.html
I reckon that should bring our points to the notice of the editors...

Perhaps people should contact him, or the magazine and make logical, well
thought out arguments as to why the article was in error.
Be careful that you don't attack him or accuse him of being an idiot, or
biased. Just point out reasons why database abstraction is a bad idea,
etc.
I highly doubt that Larry Seltzer or any of the ZDNet editors read this
newsgroup, so our griping here won't do anything to correct the erroneous
article.
If enough of us do this, he or his editor will either retract the article
and/or readdress the issue with the attention it deserves.
If there are any writers here, why not write a counter article and see if
ZDNet wants to publish it.

Arghh.. I appreciate help from anyone on this one. I have a new install of
PHP4.5 on my IIS 5 machine with Windows 2K. The install went fine.. When
I go into a command prompt and type c:\php\php.exe -i
I get the HTML junk, which is good. But... When I try and send a simple
test page with a PHP version information tag in it, I get the good old "CGI
The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of
HTTP headers. The headers it did return are: <Blank Area>
Now I have seen this error before. I have verified permissions on the
relevant files.. Heck, I even set the web site to have administrator
privileges just to test the possibility of some erroneous permission error..
Same problem. The "Check that file exists" is checked in the IIS setting,
so that is cool.
In my php.ini file, the only item I really changed from default was
"extension_dir =c:\php"
Is there something else in the PHP.ini file that I am missing??? Remember..
This page I am trying to test is simply:
<body>
Hello
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
</body>
Please Help :)
Ed
Hmmmm, second time this wuestion has been asked in two days. I've noticed
this problem too on my server. I get that error when I type in an incorrect
URL with .php at the end of it. I used to get a 404, but I don't anymore.

Well you've certainly been through all the logical steps.
I would try disabling any extensions (if any) you have enabled in php.ini
just in case any of those can't be loaded.
I assume you have done a reboot somewhere in your testing - always worth a
try on Windows!
If that fails, then either you've made a mistake somewhere and haven't done
everything you've told us you've done, or you have a machine in a state I've
never come across on this list before.
Any other ideas anyone?
Cheers

Hello all.
How do I write module dll's for php4 for windows
I'm about to create a piece of a project which which will be used to check
for errors in data entry. Every 500 records entered will prompt the user to
check their work. I have all of the triggers set up already. The database
is all Oracle, PHP 4.0.4 (1381 build). What I would like to do is display
all of the 500 records (no problem) and (here's where I could use some
advice) highlight any records with a duplicate value in one particular
field.
Should I load all of the data into an array? Should I skim through all the
records, take notes, reset, and then run through them again? Should I run a
separate statement which searches for dupes and then match them against the
whole body of records?
I don't want code, just a voice of experience which could start me off
right.
Thanks,
John

I guess it'd be fastest to collect those 500 rows into an
array, and then do st. like this:
* create an array of all the values of the critical column,
* run array_count_values() on it,
* take the keys which have value >1,
* iterate the rows again, and if the critical column value
in any iteration is in_array() of the keys, highlight the
row.
