note 43253 added to ref.snmp

I've found that when using SNMP on Windows (2000 Pro) the drive the mib files have to be located on actually depends on where you subsequently call PHP from. For example: (Assume PHP is installed in c:\\php and the mibs are installed in c:\\usr\\mibs and you have a script c:\\test.php) Open a command prompt at c:\\ Calling c:\\php\\cli\\php.exe c:\\test.php will work fine. Change directory to d:\\ Execute c:\\php\\cli\\php.exe c:\\test.php will now cause an error about not finding mib files. If you now copy the mibs to d:\\usr\\mibs and run the above command again, it will now work fine. Effectively the drive the mibs has to be on is the same as the drive of the current working directory when you call PHP. This isn't very useful at all, so after some digging around there seems to be an environment variable (MIBDIRS) you can set specifying where the MIBs are to be found. After setting MIBDIRS=c:\\php\\mibs in the environment and placing the mibs there, everything seemed to work fine. Note: If you need SNMP whilst using apache you may have to use the PassEnv command with MIBDIRS in your apache config, I haven't tried this yet. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.snmp.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+43253 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+43253&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+43253&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
