#34495 [Com]: dba_popen doens't appear to work

ID: 34495 Comment by: jakub at gentoo dot org Reported By: pookey at pookey dot co dot uk Status: Verified Bug Type: DBM/DBA related Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 5CVS-2005-09-14 (snap) New Comment: sniper, may I ask since when *on-topic* comments[1] made by the reported in a bug asking for feedback are being censored in PHP bugtracker? I'd really say you should show much more professional attitude. :/ --- [1] This was origionally tested in 5.0.4 and 5.0.5, and now it's also been tested under 5.1RC. (thanks for a friend running 5.1RC1) Please let me know where in the commit history you think things have been changed, I can't see anything. http://cvs.php.net/php-src/ext/dba/dba_db4.c I've spent over 2 hours on this now, and i think it's somewhat unfair to tell me to compile the latest snapshot - assuming I have the resources to do so. I would have assumed also that you have servers with the latest snapshot? This test script is easily recreated, I've gone to the effort of providing a cut down example, a URL producing the error, and extended source at the URL to demonstrate the issue, and the 'try latest CVS snapshot' answer, when nothing to do with dba is far from appreciated. Many thanks for your continued efforts to improving PHP.
