Bug #8784 Updated: using Informix with PHP CGI

ID: 8784 Updated by: sniper Reported By: verrue.jean-pierre@cimafap.msa.fr Status: Feedback Bug Type: Informix related Operating System: AIX 4.3.2 PHP Version: 4.0.4 New Comment: Just wondering..if you set INFORMIXSERVER prior to starting the webserver, doesn't the webserver inherit the environment?? How are you running PHP? As a NSAPI module or CGI ? FYI:I just recently committed a huge patch for Informix to make it compile and work in threaded environment. --Jani Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-07-19 09:24:45] verrue.jean-pierre@cimafap.msa.fr the 'diff -u' output is : ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --- ifx.ec Thu Jul 19 10:34:25 2001 +++ ifx.ec.upd Thu Jul 19 10:34:25 2001 @@ -351,6 +351,8 @@ STD_PHP_INI_ENTRY_EX("ifx.max_links", "-1", PHP_INI_SYSTEM, OnUpdateInt, max_links, php_ifx_globals, ifx_globals, display_link_numbers) + STD_PHP_INI_ENTRY("ifx.default_server", NULL, PHP_INI_SYSTEM, + OnUpdateString, default_server, php_ifx_globals, ifx_globals) STD_PHP_INI_ENTRY("ifx.default_host", NULL, PHP_INI_SYSTEM, OnUpdateString, default_host, php_ifx_globals, ifx_globals) STD_PHP_INI_ENTRY("ifx.default_user", NULL, PHP_INI_SYSTEM, @@ -517,9 +519,16 @@ char *hashed_details; int hashed_details_length; + + static char server[40] ; + IFXLS_FETCH(); PLS_FETCH(); + sprintf(server, "INFORMIXSERVER=%s", IFXG(default_server)) ; + putenv(server); + syslog(LOG_DEBUG, "php:%s", server) ; + if (PG(sql_safe_mode)) { if (ZEND_NUM_ARGS()>0) { php_error(E_NOTICE, ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-06-14 11:14:43] kalowsky@php.net create a patch file with your changes (diff -u <file name> > <patch name>) and send it to the PHP mailing lists. mind you will also want to place the patch here in the bug report, and give a good reason why, and sample script to reproduce the bug you are fixing. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-01-18 11:02:37] verrue.jean-pierre@cimafap.msa.fr It is not possible to use PHP cgi with NETSCAPE E.S. 3.51 and INFORMIX because it is imperatively necessary to have INFORMIXSERVER variable in the environment. Alas the environment of scripts cgi is very limited. To be able to use INFORMIX nevertheless, I supplemented the file php.ini by adding a parameter 'INFORMIX.default_server' then I modified the file ifx.ec in order to read this parameter and to place it in the environment Before calling upon 'ifx_connect'. Is it possible to register my modifiaction in a permanent way in PHP? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=8784&edit=1
