#34099 [NEW]: Inconsistencies in Documentation

From: mikerob818 at cs dot com Operating system: Windows 98 PHP version: Irrelevant PHP Bug Type: Documentation problem Bug description: Inconsistencies in Documentation Description: ------------ In reference to your response to Bug Report #34083 PHP Manual: Errors, Inconsistencies, and Omissions I think I have gone through the PHP manual thoroughly but still can't get PHP5 to work with Personal Web Server 4. This is Part 2 of my bug report and I would appreciate a response. Thanks, Robin ***************************************** Documentation Inconsistencies Installation of extensions on Windows The default location PHP searches for extensions is c:\php4\extensions in PHP 4 and c:\php5 in PHP 5. To change this setting to reflect your setup of PHP edit your php.ini file: · You will need to change the extension_dir setting to point to the directory where your extensions lives, or where you have placed your php_*.dll files. Please do not forget the last backslash. For example: extension_dir = c:/php/extensions/ Microsoft IIS / PWS General considerations for all installations of PHP with IIS · Be sure the extension_dir and doc_root PHP directives are appropriately set in php.ini. These directives depend on the system that PHP is being installed on. In PHP 4, the extension_dir is extensions while with PHP 5 it's ext. So, an example PHP 5 extensions_dir value is "c:\php\ext" and an example IIS doc_root value is "c:\Inetpub\wwwroot". MySql Functions Installation on Windows Systems As with enabling any PHP extension (such as php_mysql.dll), the PHP directive extension_dir should be set to the directory where the PHP extensions are located. An example extension_dir value for PHP 5 is c:\php\ext ******************** The last 2 sets of instructions for extension_dir are different from the first set of instructions. (In fact, all 3 are different in that the last instruction doesn't enclose c:\php\ext in quotes.) In addition, the default location for PHP5 extensions is stated as c:\PHP5 rather than c:\php\ext and there is no explanation for it. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=34099&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34099&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34099&r=trysnapshot50 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.1): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34099&r=trysnapshot51 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34099&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34099&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34099&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34099&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34099&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34099&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34099&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34099&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34099&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34099&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34099&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34099&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34099&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34099&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34099&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34099&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34099&r=mysqlcfg
