Re: PHP 4.0 Bug #8821: sybase_connect()

I just downloaded the latest php4.0.4p1 binary distribution, and I have no problem using the Sybase functions. I have had problems with previous versions (prior to 4.0.2 or so) and made minor fixes for them. What version of Sybase are you using? It may be that your libraries don't match those that php was build with, and you'll need to either install a different set of libraries or rebuild php against your libraries. I have version 10.0.4 of libct installed. I think that I once had a problem when I installed the libraries for windows that Sybase supplies with the Linux server. I put back the old ones and all was fine. Have you tried running php.exe from the command line? You can sometimes see errors that way that won't show up when using a web server. I'm running PWS 4.0 and the cgi version of php. Once it is working, you do need to bump up the sybct serverity levels from 10 to 11 in php.ini to get rid of the change database message. sjm05@nycap.rr.com wrote: > > From: sjm05@nycap.rr.com > Operating system: Windows 2000 > PHP version: 4.0.4pl1 > PHP Bug Type: Sybase-ct (ctlib) related > Bug description: sybase_connect() > > Yesterday Jan. 20, 2001 I submitted a bug report that related to the Sybase_connect() function > in PHP.
