Re: PHP5

I have been using the php form below for a while now and all of a
sudden it stopped working. I contacted the company that hosts our
website and they think it is because they switched to php5. They
recommend that we don't use global variables - but I don't even know
what that means. I would appreciate if someone could look over the
code below and let me know what changes would need to be made to make
this compatible with php5 and without using global variables:
<Lots of code snipped>

In their upgrade, they turned off register_global s - which is a good thing.

Since you are posting your form, you need to look in the $_POST array
for the values, i.e. instead of

if ($op != "ds") {

you need to use $_POST['op']. Additionally, you should check to see if
the array element is set (with isset()) before using it, so your phrase
would be:

if (isset($_POST['op'] && $_POST['op'] == 'ds') {

Also, you should read up on register_global s at www.php.net.

I have tried out PHP 5 for the first time (with assistance from this group -- thanks!). The people I was working with have a site that uses lots of php objects. They are having problems with speed. They had a vague idea that PHP5 has improved handling of objects over PHP4, so it would probably be faster also. In fact it seems slower. We did a few timing loops, in which a a number of objects were created and and members were...

I'm sure this is a FAQ - but I could not find a coherent statement of the answer: Some of my clients want PHP4. Other ones want PHP5. Can I run both PHP4 and PHP5 under the same instance of Apache - both on port 80 - using different file extensions to distinguish between them? --

Hi, I've been eager to try out PHP5, so I've dumped it on my little dev machine. It's running WinXP with IIS5. I've put the php-cgi.exe in the "mappings" page as I'm used to doing with PHP4. I've got my php.ini all set in C:\Windows. I created an index.php containing: <?php phpinfo(); ?> When I try to view the page, I get "HTTP 400 - Bad Request".

Dear Googlers I have installed PHP5 to run on WinXP against Apache 2. It works! ie. I have tested a few simple scripts and a basic xml document parse. I now want to try the XSL extension so I can transform xml docs. Having copied the php_xsl.dll to a directory where it can be found and done the uncommenting in php.ini, it still will not work.

Hi, I've recently contacted technical service of a web hosting company and asked them wheter or not they're gonna upgrade to PHP5 and MySQL5. Here's a quote from their response which confused me a little: "As php5 and mysql5 are still beta versions we don't install beta versions on production servers due to secure reasons, we install only current working versions on production servers"

I am trying to install Php5 on my WindowsXP machine (at home, not on the 'net). I downloaded the Php Windows binary at php.net, unzipped it to c:/Php5, changed my Apache config file to use Php5 with: LoadModule php5_module "c:/Php5/php5apache2.dll" .... and restarted apache (Apache/2.0.55 (Win32) mod_ssl/2.0.55 OpenSSL/0.9.8a) Php5 works fine, but when I execute phpinfo, the registered streams are:

I am working in two environments neither configuration of which I can change; one's my Web host the other a client. My Web host requires the use of the ".php5" extension to use PHP v5.1.4; where ".php" is used for PHP v4.3.11. My client supports PHP v5.2.0 with the ".php" extension. Is there a way to reliably determine if the ".php5" extension must be used on a server? Perhaps via a "phpinfo()" value?

I have just upgraded my php version form php4 to php5. and I met this problem, and don't know if you know the solution. My site was written in PHP4, and most parts can be running smoothly in PHP5, only that in old version, I can use $row to access the data in database directly, no need to put double quote around fieldname. BUT in PHP5, this is wrong, I got error message "undefined constant". I know this is because PHP5 see the fieldname...

Hi, I am slowly moving my code to php5. But I would like to make it backward compatible in case something bad happens, (and to make sure I understand what the changes are).

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it.
