PHP 4.0 Bug #5112: dbase_create broken.. Here is a quick fix.

From: rezbin@yahoo.com Operating system: Linux 2.2.13 PHP version: 4.0 Latest CVS (18/06/2000) PHP Bug Type: dBase related Bug description: dbase_create broken.. Here is a quick fix. There is a problem with dbase_create in that it fails to recongnize the 2nd parameter as being an array of arrays. I have done some digging, and found a solution to the problem, albet just a quick-fix it does do the trick. First thing to do is apply the quick patch to the dbase.c file that is mentioned in bug ID: 4813, that will remove the page fault problems. The way to get the function to work is this: on the line 569: pval *filename, *fields, *field, *value; make it read: pval *filename, *fields, *field, *value, **tmp; On line 626 change: if (zend_hash_index_find(fields->value.ht, i, (void **)&field) == FAILURE) { to read: if (zend_hash_index_find(fields->value.ht, i, (void **)&tmp) == FAILURE) { Add the fallowing to line 631: field = *val; repeate this method for the other references to function zend_hash_index_find, in dbase_create and it'll work just fine. It looks like something has changed between PHP3 and PHP4, which must of broke the function. Config line used: ./configure --with-mysql --with-apxs --enable-dbase --disable-debug
