#19730 [Opn->Fbk]: PHP --with-mysql reports the wrong client API version

ID: 19730 Updated by: sniper@php.net Reported By: shane@sell.com -Status: Open +Status: Feedback -Bug Type: Apache related +Bug Type: MySQL related Operating System: debian linux potato PHP Version: 4.2.3 New Comment: Please try using this CVS snapshot: http://snaps.php.net/php4-latest.tar.gz For Windows: http://snaps.php.net/win32/php4-win32-latest.zip Even as I'm pretty sure this is some problem in your system or an user error.. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-10-04 19:21:39] shane@sell.com yes, it does. Both the binary build and the apache module were built on October 2, 2002, and they both show the correct build date. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-10-04 18:29:07] sniper@php.net Can you check what the build-date is in the phpinfo output where the incorrect mysql version is shown? (2nd line, iirc) Does it match the date you build it? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-10-04 13:08:36] shane@sell.com Additionally, as I stated earlier, the PHP binary and the PHP Apache modules are being compiled on the same server, with the same configure options (except --with-apache). Nothing on the server was changed between building the binary and the module. They both used clean source trees (freshly untarred, even). The binary reports the correct version, the module does not. The module also does not report the version of the included MySQL libs, instead it reports a version of MySQL that has never been installed on the server. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-10-03 20:01:10] shane@sell.com with regards to the beta string, I have known about the development life cycle, and the alpha, beta, gamma, and release phases of development for many years. MySQL 4 is doing wonderfully in production, and we put each release through rigorous testing in house before implementing it. You should try it out sometime. With regards to the version string, there are no files on the filesystem that match 3.23.35. Have you tried to build it yet using the build method I sent? If so, what were the results? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-10-03 19:27:21] sniper@php.net I hope you're aware that the 'beta' text in that version for mysql really means that it's not ready for production.. Anyway, the api version shown in phpinfo() output comes from mysql function called 'mysql_get_client_info()' and that is provided by the mysql client libs and in the bundled mysql lib sources it's like this: mysql_get_client_info(void) { return (char*) MYSQL_SERVER_VERSION; } Try grepping your whole system for that incorrect version and you'll find where it's defined.. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
