Re: new errors with 0.5.1 on Win2k & XP - DOH

Hi All, The files in the 0.5.1 distribution works for me :-) and this is how: php-cgi.exe (the old version of php.exe, not included with this distribution) looked for the php.ini file in the current working directory and in \winnt (\windows). php.exe seams to be looking in \winnt (\windows) only. I'll see if I can change this. Both programs can use the -c switch to use an optional location of the ini file. The value can point to a directory or to a specific file. php_win.exe is a small wrapper program to launch php.exe without to DOS window. It Uses the environment variable PHP_BIN to specify the executable to launch. If PHP_BIN is undefined it will look for php.exe in the directories included in the PATH, in c:\php4 and d:\php4. I have just added a new feature where php_win.exe will use PHP_INI_PATH to look for the configuration file. This can either be a directory or a specific file. to use php_win.exe you shoud set PHP_BIN=c:\GTK051 PHP_INI_PATH=c:\GTK051 I have just updated my distribution site with the latest files. http://kroman.info/php4.php - Frank > I know, Simon, I'm on it now, thanks. > > Just waiting to see what Frank tells you :) > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "firepages.com.au" <fire@firepages.com.au> > To: "Kirk Babb" <kbcd@worldnet.att.net> > Cc: "PHP-GTK" <php-gtk-general@lists.php.net> > Sent: Wednesday, May 01, 2002 5:08 PM > Subject: Re: [PHP-GTK] new errors with 0.5.1 on Win2k & XP - DOH > > > > :) > > Hi, Kirk I need the WINDIR\php.ini for php as an apache module > > > > I am, as it happens, a dill anyway (hear hear( I hear)) , the php.ini that > > I was referencing from the command line was a dodgy one in the first place - > > (a copy of my normal one ::so it was pointing includes and extensions > > everywhere) > > So, by dumping everything in one directory , this command line worked fine , > > as did substituting php_win.exe > > c:\GTK051\php.exe -q -c c:\GTK051\php.ini -f e:\GTK\samples\tree.php > > at least it appears to work, I am kinda scared to reboot now :) > > > > > > > > Manual writers ...., stuff like this, just getting started, seems to be the > > biggest problem for most of us dull windows users (like myself) - I get a > > lot of mail about GTK & PHP and a lot of peeps are interested but can not > > get off the ground, not even a hello world. > > > > that's as most of win32 users interested in php-gtk have php already > > installed as an apache module - that's cos they are php heads, that's why > > they want to look at php-gtk .... > > > > Soooo ... if they follow the instructions and dump dll's in system32 & > > .ini's in WINNDIR\ etc things start to go horribly wrong for both php-gtk && > > apache/php , is it then actually a good idea to describe the install as per > > current readme / dir structure ??? - seems to me that dumping everything in > > the one directory with a very inoffensive php.ini and a batch file for > > starting one of the samples !!! showing the existence of the -c switch > > !!!would be more useful (for windows heads) ?? > > > > > > sorry for my erroneous initial post :o > > > > Regards, > > Simon Wheeler > > firepages > > > > > > > > ----- Original Message ----- > > From: "Kirk Babb" <kbcd@worldnet.att.net> > > To: "firepages.com.au" <fire@firepages.com.au> > > Sent: Wednesday, May 01, 2002 10:48 PM > > Subject: Re: [PHP-GTK] new errors with 0.5.1 on Win2k & XP > > > > > > > Could you keep the ini files in each respective directory instead of one > > in > > > the winnt dir (for the official php distribution) and one in php-gtk dir? > > > does your environmental path include the "main" php dir?
