WampServer

PHP 5.3.8 working perfect on wamp (Icon green), but when switching to PHP version 5.2.6 it does not work( I installed PHP version 5.2.6 as Add-On ) icon stays Yellow.

Please help

All the addons are vc6 and the one you download is vc9 as written on download page.

So you need to also install an apache Addon so the compiler version matches

I didnt see any vcX written on download page

Please advise which apache add-on to download in my case ?

Thanks

Any of them. All the Addons are vc6


It's written on the download page of wampserver packages.

"All previous versions are compiled with vc6 and are not comparable with these packages..."

This is not technically true as , if u add a vc6 apache and php thy will work together

I have recently tried Apache add-on 2.2.10 with PHP 5.2.6 & 5.2.9 , still nothing

Hi Steve

I managed to sort it out OR get it to Apache to run with previous PHP versions add-on

I had to change on httpd.config file

Listen port
ServerName port

Port 80 was conflicting with MS IIS 7.5

Thanks a lot for your help and quick responses

I have trouble connecting to MS SQL server using PHP 5.2.6 and 5.2.9

php_mssql extension is enabled in all versions

Any idea on why DB connection fails ?

Cannot you paste the connection code and the error?

Im using Apache 2.2.8 add-on and PHP 5.2.6 add-on

config.php

define('DB_SERVER', '(local)\SQLEXPRESS');
define('DB_SERVER_USERNAME', 'sa');
define('DB_SERVER_PASSWORD', 'password');
define('DB_DATABASE', 'Test_DB');
define('USE_PCONNECT', 'true');

DB.php

class wP_Database_mssql extends wP_Database {
var $use_transactions = false,
$use_fulltext = false,
$use_fulltext_boolean = false;

function __construct($server, $username, $password) {
$this->server = $server;
$this->username = $username;
$this->password = $password;

if ($this->is_connected === false) {
$this->connect();
}
}

function connect() {

if (defined('USE_PCONNECT') && (USE_PCONNECT == 'true')) {
$connect_function = 'mssql_pconnect';
} else {
$connect_function = 'mssql_connect';
}

if ($this->link = @$connect_function($this->server, $this->username, $this->password)) {

$this->setConnected(true);

return true;
} else {

print('cannot connect to server: ' . $this->server. ' <br />user: '. $this->username . ' <br />password: ' . $this->password . '<br>'. mssql_get_last_message());

$this->setError($this->mssql_error(), $this->mssql_errorno());

return false;
}

}

function disconnect() {
if ($this->isConnected()) {
if (@mssql_close($this->link)) {
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
} else {
return true;
}
}

HTM page error
cannot connect to server: (local)\SQLEXPRESS
user: sa
password: password

define('DB_SERVER', '(local)\SQLEXPRESS');

Shouldn't this be

define('DB_SERVER', '.\SQLEXPRESS');

Or

define('DB_SERVER', 'YOUR-PC-NAME\SQLEXPRESS');

Is this line correct?

if ($this->link = @$connect_function($this->server, $this->username, $this->password)) {

The @$connect_function should be @connect_function ( without the $ which would make connect_function a variable that php probably cannot find??

Look in the php_error.log for errors

if ($this->link = @$connect_function($this->server, $this->username, $this->password)) { }

it should be @$connect_function

Cuz I declare it here :

if (defined('USE_PCONNECT') && (USE_PCONNECT == 'true')) {
$connect_function = 'mssql_pconnect';
} else {
$connect_function = 'mssql_connect';
}

No, it's perfectly fine, and working....

I had to replace all " ntwdblib.dll" in ( apache & php xxx folders ), with the one I just downloaded online

Thanks a lot for your help
