Bug #11926 Updated: precompiled php_pdf.dll does not work

ID: 11926 User Update by: rose@b92.net Status: Open Bug Type: PDF related Operating system: windows 2000 PHP Version: 4.0.6 Description: precompiled php_pdf.dll does not work Addendum: set system date to anything before 2001-07-01 and this version of php_pdf.dll will work. Not a very useful workaround, but... Previous Comments: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-07-06 07:25:35] rose@b92.net Hi, The pre-compiled php_pdf.dll included with 4.0.6 is based on PDFlib version 4.0.0 ($Revision: 1.79.2.1 $). HOWEVER, according to pdflib.com, version 4.0.0 contains a datetime bomb and will not work past 2001-07-01. Amusingly enough, PDFlib 4.0.0 was used for PHP4.0.6, released only shortly before this dll would cease to function forever... An attempt to access pdf functions produces the following error: "Fatal error: PDFlib error: Beta expired - retrieve new version from www.pdflib.com in [script] on line [number]". Since PDFlib 4.0.1 is available since 2001-05-18, perhaps the next release could include a php_pdf.dll based on 4.0.1? OR, a fix could be made available on the site (please) because my c++ compiler chokes on 4.0.1, and the documentation included is obviously meant for people who are already experienced with compiling their own dlls... --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Full Bug description available at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=11926
