PHP update

Do you know of any "basic sane guidelines" to update the existing PHP on a Mac.
i do see that apple has available the most recent version of PHP available, http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/unixopensource/php.html
Question: would the Mac OS automatically go thru the necessary procedures to bring the current existing PHP in the Directory up to date when the human executes a download of PHP via the GUI ?.
Or does the human need to re-configure the PHP file`s manually.
Where would some basic sane guidelines be found to update the existing PHP on the Mac.
Thank you.
The end result here is to load up to date PHP and MY SQL, rather then MAMP, when the Mac has already Apache installed and a existing PHP file and SQL lite.
It just seems redundant and unnecessary to load MAMP.
thank you again
any assistance to basic reference would be appreciated.

Here is one of many such examples. Since you appear to be using 10.4.11, some things might be different.
You may be able to go to Apple's open source site and download their PHP package. That would be the best way to update Apple's PHP with your own.
Question: would the Mac OS automatically go thru the necessary procedures to bring the current existing PHP in the Directory up to date when the human executes a download of PHP via the GUI ?.
No. If you installed your PHP correctly, it would live in /usr/local and be outside of any Apple update. If you tried to update your Apple MySQL yourself, updates would probably fail eventually and you would have to re-do everything. If they did succeed, your best-case scenario would be that you would lose all of your modifications with each update.
Or does the human need to re-configure the PHP file`s manually.
Yes. There are lots of instructions on how to do this. Almost all of them describe the process on Linux. You will have to translate the file paths to MacOS X yourself.
The end result here is to load up to date PHP and MY SQL, rather then MAMP, when the Mac has already Apache installed and a existing PHP file and SQL lite.
It just seems redundant and unnecessary to load MAMP.
I strongly urge you to reconsider MAMP. It makes perfect sense to install redundant copies of packages that have different capabilities. People do that all the time. Why go looking for a 3-day solution when a 3-minute solution is available?

Roundcube not working after last php update [SOLVED]

After the last php update my roundcubemail stopped working. The log-in page loads and after attempting to log in I get the following error:
IMAP Error in /usr/share/webapps/roundcubemail/program/lib/Roundcube/rcube_imap.php (184): Login failed for [email protected] from 192.168.1.1. Could not connect to ssl://localhost:993: Unknown reason (fsockopen() function disabled?)

$config['smtp_timeout'] = 5;
// SMTP socket context options

$config['smtp_conn_options'] = array(

'verify_peer_name' => false,
It works like a charm.

PHP Update and Modularization

The PHP package was rebuilt in order to provide more functionality while
reducing explicit dependencies and memory usage. This was achieved by
building most PHP modules as shared objects instead of building them
statically in.
In addition to this it is easier to use and package external PHP modules and
its configuration due to the possibility to have a separate config file for
every extension. Those ini files are stored in /etc/php/conf.d/ and will
automatically used by PHP.
If you are using PHP on a webserver connected to the internet you might be
interested in installing the php-suhosin package as well which was moved from
the [community] into the [extra] repository. Along with the suhosin-patch
which ships with the current PHP packge this extension provides some advanced
security features. For some more information on this see
http://www.suhosin.org.
The packages will remain in [testing] for at least a few days. Please test
this package with your favorite scripts and report any error or suggestions:
http://bugs.archlinux.org
If you update from a previous PHP setup, take care of the following changes:
* Due to the modularization you have to enable some modules which were
built-in before. For a quick overview compare the modules section at the
bottom of your php.ini with the new one which will be stored as
php.ini.pacnew
* PHP itself does not have any explicit dependencies, but some extensions will
only work with certain package installed. Those will be displayed during the
installation.
* If you are using any PHP extension from [community] or AUR you will have
to rebuild them against this PHP version. As soon as this package arrives in
[extra], all extensions in [community] will be updated.

Everything was fine with the previous version. I upgraded to testing version 5.2.4-4 and mysql connection got broken. There's a silly enterprise application we use and if the mysql.sock file is in /tmp it gives security errors. That's why i need to change default config. Below is a screenshot from phpinfo.

Generic javascript error when trying to add PHP Update behavior

When I try to add an Update behavior (PHP) from DW CS5, I get this popup error and I have no idea what it means!
While executing applyServerBehavior in UpdateRecord.htm, a JavaScript error occurred.
help??

At this point there are only 2 other solutions to try because that is the only KB article related to JS errors and cleaning out those user configs usually does the trick.
1. Your OS profile has become corrupt somewhere. Create a new profile on your computer and try running the same operation on DW. If this works you will need to move over your other user settings from applications, but do not move over all user data as you may bring the corrupted file(s) with you.
2. Run the Cleaner: Click on Help->De-Activate in any Adobe program to deactivate the software. Run the Clean Script: http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html and then re-install.

PHP Update statement hanging

I'm trying to run a simple update statement in PHP,
The query looks like this:
$sql_u = "UPDATE DAY.SEARCH SET ENABLED = '$trackable' WHERE NAME= '$name'";
The output of that query would be:
UPDATE DAY.SEARCH SET ENABLED = '1' WHERE NAME= 'joe'
I can run the statement fine in Toad but running when I try running it using php, it hangs and times out. There's only about 200 records in the table.
Any ideas?

PHP update to 5.3.2 or later

Hello,
I want to run mediawiki under SL on a MB with the Apache and PHP of the OS.
The latest Wiki does not install under php 5.3.1, because that is said to be crucial buggy to run the Wiki.
On the Apple pages I can not find any advice as to update the PHP version of the OS itself.
Any help or advice?
No, I don't want to install a PHP version additional to the original One. I want to update.
Thx for help

PHP Update button

Hi everyone,
Got a question with hope someone will have an answer to, or could point me in the correct direction.
Using PHP, and any other form of code necessary I want to be able to show/hide an object by clicking an image (button). The PHP side of show/hide I can do easily through if statements… its on the admin side I need a little help because id like to be a tad crafty…
Basically id like it so… when I load up my admin page, my image (button) displays shaded if on, or not shaded if off (this info is gathered from the latest database entry)… and when I interact with the button, it switches to the other (on/off)… when I click the submit button, it updates the database information according to what the button is switched to… in this case it would be ‘1’ for on (show) and ‘0’ for off (hide).
Hope this makes sense
Any help would be greatly appreciated
David

Judging from your description, you just need a form with a hidden field and a submit button. Use a recordset to populate the value of the hidden field with the existing value stored in the database (1 or 0). Apply an Update Record server behavior to update the value. Since you want to toggle between 0 and 1, you need to change the value with a conditional statement. You can do this either in the body of page to switch the value of the hidden field, or in the code that handles the update.
<input type="hidden" name="display" id="display"
value="<?php if ($row_recordsetName['display'] == 0) {
echo 1;
} else {
echo 0;
}?>" />
Alternatively:
if ($_POST['display'] == 0) {
$_POST['display'] = 1;
} else {
$_POST['display'] = 0;
If you're capable of hand-coding everything, you could make it much simpler by running the following SQL query whenever the button is clicked:
UPDATE mytable SET display = IF(display = 0, 1, 0)

FCKeditor PHP & updating MYSql

I am having problem figuring out how to update MYSQL with the
changes I
make in FCKeditor. I have done it in asp but I am stumped
with php.
The FCKeditor directions say to enter code like
<?php
$sValue = stripslashes( $_POST['FCKeditor1'] ) ;
?>
But where I put it I get an error. How do I get the value of
$oFCKeditor->Value where application.update record will
see the value?
Current form code is
<form action="" method="post" name="cmsUpdate"
id="cmsUpdate">
<?php
$oFCKeditor = new FCKeditor('cmsContent') ;
$oFCKeditor->BasePath = '../fckeditor/';
$oFCKeditor->Value = $row_rs_editcms['pgCntnt'];
$oFCKeditor->Create() ;
?>
<input name="pgId" type="hidden" value=<?php echo
$row_rs_editcms['pgId']; ?>>
<input name="" type="submit">
</form>

After folling directions then I added one line as shown below
<?php
$oFCKeditor = new FCKeditor('cmsContent') ;
$oFCKeditor->BasePath = '../fckeditor/';
$oFCKeditor->InstanceName = "cmsContent" ; /* code added
for
dreamweraver */
$oFCKeditor->ToolbarSet = "Default" ;
$oFCKeditor->Height = '450';
$oFCKeditor->Value = $row_rs_editcms['pgCntnt'];
$oFCKeditor->Create() ;
?>
Then I added a text field, ran the wizard and changed the
text field
name in the update query to the instancename (cmsContent),
deleted the
unneeded text field and it worked. Saw this on SourceForege's
forum.
if ((isset($_POST["MM_update"])) &&
($_POST["MM_update"] ==
"cmsUpdate")) {
$updateSQL = sprintf("UPDATE cms_pgs SET pgCntnt=%s WHERE
pgId=%s",
GetSQLValueString($_POST['cmsContent'], "text"),
GetSQLValueString($_POST['pgId'], "int"));
Right or wrong this worked for me.

Sounds like you haven't installed the mysql module.
I'm sure someone who knows much much more about it than me
will be
along in a moment.
However - possibly the easiest way to do it without getting
your hands
dirty is to delete and then reinstall PHP - make sure you do
the
detailed route and look out for the modules section and check
all the
MySql ones (sorry can't remember exactly what they were
called - I've
only done this twice - the first one I bodged up!) -
otherwise it's
trawl through your php.ini file and uncomment all the mysql
components
that you think you may need!

PHP updating a data base field issue

HI
I am using a multiple select box to allow multuple vales to be selected and entered into the database
when i add the filed values i use implode to seperate the values with a comma.
$insertSQL = sprintf("INSERT INTO finance_data (Link_record,Savings_Year, Savings_Trust, Savings_Type, Savings_Amount, Savings_Additional_Notes) VALUES (%s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s)",
          GetSQLValueString($_POST['inserttracker'], "text"),
                       GetSQLValueString($_POST['Savings_Year'], "text"),
                       GetSQLValueString($_POST['Savings_Trust'], "text"),
                       GetSQLValueString(implode(',', $_POST['Savings_Type']), "text"),
                       GetSQLValueString($_POST['Savings_Amount'], "double"),
                       GetSQLValueString($_POST['Savings_Additional_Notes'], "text"));
when i then use an update method, the value is shown correctly in the field, however using the same implode to update the field in the same way does not seem to work and instead leaves me with a null value on update
i tried using different varibles and doing the implode outside of the update even called it something else, but i have had no luck
update code
if ((isset($_POST["MM_update"])) && ($_POST["MM_update"] == "form1")) {
$updateSQL = sprintf("UPDATE finance_data SET Link_record=%s, Extended_Index=%s, Savings_Year=%s, Savings_Trust=%s, Savings_Type=
%s, Savings_Amount=%s, Savings_Additional_Notes=%s WHERE Master_index=%s",
                       GetSQLValueString($_POST['Link_record'], "int"),
                       GetSQLValueString($_POST['Extended_Index'], "text"),
                       GetSQLValueString($_POST['Savings_Year'], "text"),
                       GetSQLValueString($_POST['Savings_Trust'], "text"),
                       GetSQLValueString(implode(',', $_POST['Savings_Type']), "text"),
                       GetSQLValueString($_POST['Savings_Amount'], "double"),
                       GetSQLValueString($_POST['Savings_Additional_Notes'], "text"),
                       GetSQLValueString($_POST['Master_index'], "int"));
any suggestion would be helpful

Have you checked whether $_POST['Savings_Type'] is an array? The name attribute of the multiple select element needs to have an empty pair of square brackets like this:
<select name="Savings_Type[]" multiple>

Php update/configure for Server 4.0

I had working Apache2 + PHP 5.6 running perfectly locally for development.
Web Docs were located in /Sites folder in user directory.
After Installing Server 4.0 all my setup is messed up. I can configure website again but it not uses PHP I have upgraded to.
I feel lack of control/configuration for web apps with Server 4.0. How I can get it working back as perviously or uninstall Server 4.0?

I have found solution to fix Apache after uninstallation of Server 4.0

DW PHP date update issue?

When I use the DW8 PHP UPDATE behavior, I get an error reported back from the web server when the date value in the form is MM/DD/YYYY .. but if I change it to YYYY-MM-DD then it updates fine. What can I do to assure that we can use the user friendly date format and it doesn't freak out???

Create separate fields in the update form for the month, date, and year. Use SQL to extract the values separately using MySQL date and time functions. When the form is submitted, join the separate values together before inserting them in the database.

Update PHP

Running OS 10.6.7 on Xserve 2.26 Ghz quad core Xeon, apache version 2.2.17 and PHP 5.3.4, serving FileMaker Pro via FM Server 11.0.3
I've been asked by security folks to upgrade to PHP 5.3.6 if possible. Best method? Worth the trouble? I am concerned that if I do manual install from source PHP download that 1) it may break FileMaker PHP and 2) Apple upgrades may break the install.
Any experience or advice?
Thanks in advance.

Google around for some information on updating PHP; this question gets asked fairly regularly, and folks have managed this with varying degrees of success. (For some of those existing discussions, see: here, here, here, here, and here)
If you roll this change yourself, you're basically doing a full upgrade of all of the bits, performing a differences of the existing version of php within OS X and reimplementing whatever Apple added or changed within that previous updates, and then debugging it all. That's either you implementing the update yourself or (if it's sufficiently current) maybe downloading and updating via MacPorts or another packaged version.
And in any case and irrespective of how you update php, once you upgrade this stuff, you own it. You own additional security fixes and updates, anything that might go wrong when something (else) encounters the new php and tips over (web services, Filemaker, etc), and (hopefully, eventually) backing out the php updates if/when Apple ships a newer version and you then want (need?) to revert to the installed version.
There's a decent chance that problems can crop up after a php or other similar update of the integrated tools, so definitely have a complete full-disk backup made by booting the installation DVD and using Disk Utility, or some other similar approach. That's your path back out, if (when?) something blows up.
The other approach is to request a waiver from your "security folks", pending an Apple-provided security or system update. That's usually the easiest approach.

PHP won't recompile, no matter how I try

Hello,
In March, I installed PostgreSQL on my computer, and I recompiled PHP with the --with-pgsql option to take advantage of this. I don't remember the exact date, but it must have been within a couple days of March 9th, since that's when all my related files were created.
Everything worked fine, and I was developing things as I had expected to. I hadn't worked on my project since about April, and I came back to it the other day, to find that PHP had reverted to an older build, apparently from February 20th.
Now, no matter how many times I reconfigure or recompile or reinstall PHP, it doesn't change the version on my computer.
When I run "make install", I get this:
Installing PHP SAPI module: apache2handler
/usr/share/httpd/build/instdso.sh SH_LIBTOOL='/usr/share/apr-1/build-1/libtool' libs/libphp5.so /usr/libexec/apache2

cp libs/libphp5.so /usr/libexec/apache2/libphp5.so
Warning! dlname not found in /usr/libexec/apache2/libphp5.so.
Assuming installing a .so rather than a libtool archive.

program: phpize
program: php-config
Installing man pages: /usr/share/man/man1/
page: phpize.1
page: php-config.1
Installing PDO headers: /usr/include/php/ext/pdo/
And then it ends. All the files related to PHP seem to be updating, but PHP itself remains untouched. I can't figure out what made my newer build disappear. I don't know where the issue is to even fix this. I'm not getting any errors at any step of the way, except that PHP isn't reinstalled when I finish.
Anyone have a clue what's going on?

I suspect that you lost your newer build as the result of Security Update 2008-002 which was released on 18 March. Would this fit the timing? The update included PHP updates.
In general, it is a bad idea to install software into /usr/bin, /usr/share etc. A better choice is /usr/local/bin etc. This is true even if - perhaps even especially if - you are installing a newer version of something included in OS X. There are a few exceptions to this rule, but they really are very few and do not include PHP.
I don't really know PHP (or at all, in fact). How do you know it isn't updating?
Assuming the source uses the auto tools, did configure find everything OK? Actually, let me back up here.
Did you run configure and make again in your source directory or did you just do make install? Apple's Security Update also included updates for Apache, for example, so you might need to reconfigure the source (make clean; ./configure --my-args; make; make check; make install).
