I reported some problems a while ago, a lot of our database code under 3.0 does things like: " /* Connect to the Database */ $MainDB = mysql_connect( $SQLDB_ServerName, $SQLDB_UserName, $SQLDB_Password ); if( $MainDB == false ){ sql_fail( "Connecting to stat DB" ); } $Temp = mysql_select_db( $SQLDB_DBName, $MainDB ); /* Error if we can't connect */ if( $Temp == false ){ <<<---- FAILS HERE? (Bizzare, but this is where it says it's failed!) echo( "Failed to connect / login to the stat database.\n" ); echo( mysql_error().":".mysql_errno() ); exit(); } " This falls over with "Warning: 1 is not a MySQL link index on line 160". I had thought the lack of replies was my down to my obvious stupidity... (or something to do with true and false being proper boolean types now?) :( > Another trivia question - I'd like to know what kind of platforms you use > to test PHP4/Zend on.

We use FreeBSD, we have PHP3 (3.0.7) running on FreeBSD 2.2.7 (all on Intel P120's, P90's), version 3.0.7 and 4 on FreeBSD 3.1-RELEASE and 4.0-Current (running on Intel SMP dual P2-450 or Dual P-Pro). The other problem I have is building all this stuff... I can program in 'c', but I've led a sheltered life under Win32 - that and a lack of time at the moment means I haven't been able to sit down and sift through all the emails to find out which bits to build/how to build it... Maybe we could have a webpage/BUILD text file or something that lists what you have to do to build it - from a 'clean' checkout? (and this gets updated as and when things change?) If it's any consolation - we have httpd compiled up for both PHP3 and PHP4 on one box (so I can switch between them), and the PHP4 spews HTML out an order of magnitude more than the PHP3 code does... (Ha! - What a suprise I hear you say :-) Regards, Karl -- PHP 4 Beta
