note 47935 added to function.printer-list

As saidyjade mentioned below, printer_list crashes Apache when you pound the resulting array too much. I don't know why this happens, somebody should look deeper into the subject... I have found out, contrary to saidyjade, that also just getting the NAME attribute (and remember, it's case-sensitive! :-) can crash Apache. Here's what I had: <?php foreach (printer_list(PRINTER_ENUM_CONNECTIONS) as $printer) echo "<option value=\"" . addslashes(strtoupper($printer["NAME"])) . "\">" . strtoupper($printer["NAME"]) . "\n"; ?> This snippet worked alright, whereas <?php foreach (printer_list(PRINTER_ENUM_CONNECTIONS) as $printer) echo "<option value=\"" . addslashes(strtoupper($printer["NAME"])) . "\"" . ((strtoupper($printer["NAME"])) ? " selected" : "") . ">" . strtoupper($printer["NAME"]) . "\n"; ?> crashed Apache everytime the page was loaded. I played around a bit and found this snippet not crashing: <?php foreach (printer_list(PRINTER_ENUM_CONNECTIONS) as $printer) { $curprin = strtoupper($printer["NAME"]); echo "<option value=\"" . addslashes($curprin) . "\"" . (($curprin == $user["drucker"]) ? " selected" : "") . ">$curprin\n"; } ?> So, in essence you just need to be careful about how much you use the array and if necessary define help variables that you can use as much as you want. Hope this saves somebody some more minutes... ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.printer-list.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+47935 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47935&report=yes Reason: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47935&report=yes&reason=bad+code Reason: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47935&report=yes&reason=spam Reason: useless example -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47935&report=yes&reason=useless+example Reason: contains commercial links -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47935&report=yes&reason=contains+commercial+links Reason: useless note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47935&report=yes&reason=useless+note Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+47935&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
