Re: php ldap wit exop patch and missing ZSTR

Many thanks for the quick response guys. Johannes doing void *u works, however UChar *u does not. anyways its compiled and working. Btw- for anybody working with real ldap applications and php, paging is almost necessary. Any hopes of incorporating this with php6? Quoting Johannes Schlüter <johannes@php.net>:

Dear all, I'm trying to apply the php ldap EXOP patch from : <http://www.sys-net.it/~ando/Download/#PHP> The patch defines a zstr in ldap.c at line 1731 as obvious below. ZSTR no longer appears to be defined anywhere in php or zend.h - can somebody help me with this? Should i just define it manually?

I don't know that patch but a little help: zstr is a PHP 6 type for handling unicode and binary strings. So that patch is either missing some compatibility code or is only for PHP 6. If you want to adopt it either define a zstr using something like typedef union _zstr { char *s; /* void *u; -- If you get an error due a missing u component

                         of that union either try using a void for it
                         or change it to take .s as char* .... */

void *v; } zstr; or try to change the "zstr foo"s there to "char *foo" and drop the .s/.u/.v where that var is being used. The original declaration of that type can be found here: http://lxr.php.net/source/ZendEngine2/zend.h#235 Both ways aren't really good, for more I'd have to check the patch, maybe it's best to ask the author of the patch. johannes
