Php-bin

Based on a port done by LouiSe <louise()louise.amiga.hu>

-----------------------------------------

New in this release:

- MySQL-support in first release was broken. Fixed now!
  You can access now a mysql-server running on an other
  computer or maybe in the future on local computer.

- The handling of the environment-variables didn't work.
  Is fixed now. You can now access variables like $QUERY_STRING
  and $HTTP_SERVER_VARS["QUERY_STRING"] ...

  Thanks to DaveP for his hint !!

- Includes a reconfigured config-file "php.ini".

- Some minor bug-fixes.

PHP is a C alike scripting language for dynamic webpages
and standalone development...

This archive contains a standalone-binary and a
cgi-binary for including into a webserver (hserv ?).

-----------------------------------------

Installation:

- Unpack the archive into ram:.

- Create following devices/assigns, if not already done:

  USR: and ETC:

- Create following drawers:

  USR:local
  USR:local/lib
  USR:local/php

- copy the content of ram:php-4.3.0-OS4-bin/etc to ETC:

- copy the content of ram:php-4.3.0-OS4-bin/lib to USR:local/lib/

- copy the content of ram:php-4.3.0-OS4-bin/bin to C: or wherever
  you want.

- copy the content of ram:php-4.3.0-OS4-bin/ENVARC to ENVARC:.

- copy the rest to USR:local/php/

- delete ram:php-4.3.0-OS4-bin/

-----------------------------------------

Launch a script:

  Simply type "php xxx.php" :-)
  Type "php -h" for more information.

-----------------------------------------

Problems:

  Although these binaries are in a usable stage, there are some
  problems left:

  - error in handling of symbolic links. They are not recognized
    by stat(), lstat() or is_link(). Maybe a limitation of clib2.

  - abs(), pow() and round() may fail, if the values are reaching
    the limits of the int-datatype (no crash, but wrong results).

  - microtime() is a little bit inaccurate.

  - strtotime() and mktime() don't support daylight-saving-time.
    Timezones are supported.

  Look into "php_test_results_20050503.txt" for more information.

-----------------------------------------

Notes:

  This project is work in progress. Hope to realize this points soon:

  - Solve the above mentioned problems (of course).
