[JASONE25]

Hi experts i got an php script that when i run i get this error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: glob() in c:\inetpub\[URL unfurl="true"]wwwroot\test\avatars.php[/URL] on line 27

 $aFiles = glob("$sDir/$sPattern", $nFlags);

foreach (glob("$sDir/*", GLOB_ONLYDIR) as $sSubDir)
  {
   $aSubFiles = rglob($sSubDir, $sPattern, $nFlags);
   $aFiles = array_merge($aFiles, $aSubFiles);
  }

  // The array we return contains the files we found, and the
  // files all of our children found.

  return $aFiles;
}

/* Get Listing of avatars */
$files = rglob (AVATARS_DIR.AVATARS_DIR_STOCK, '*');
sort ($files, SORT_STRING);

You should upgrade your PHP on the server

To expand VBakians' answer:

glob() is available since PHP 4.3.0, so your version does not yet contain this function. That is why you're getting an error.

Well i installed the latest version php and re install my sql and phpmyadmin but now i get this error when i run my phpAdmin

cannot load mysql extension;
please check PHP configuration

could any one help me fix this error.Thanks

Goto the installation folder of php. Propably C:/php/

Open the install.txt
Edit -> Find "php_mysql.dll"

It's explained what to do.

 

[JASONE25]

Many thanks vbkias for u reply. I collected php_zip.dll and php_ssh2.dll files from this zip file pecl-5.0.4-Win32.

PHP extension DLL files, such as php_mysql.dll and php_curl.dll,
       are found in the zip package of the PHP download (not the PHP
       installer). In PHP 5, many extensions are part of PECL and can be
       downloaded in the "Collection of PECL modules" package. Files such
       as php_zip.dll and php_ssh2.dll. Download PHP files here.

Could u tell me where should place them.Thanks

 

[WoodyRoundUp]

store them in the ext folder.
add the files name to the php.ini
just like how you have this: php_mysql.dll

 

[JASONE25]

Thanks again mate. There is no ext folder under c:\php\ !!
i only see BACKUP,SESSIONDAA AND UPLOADTEMP folder. Furtheremore, in which part of the php.ini should i place the files names.Thank

 

[WoodyRoundUp]

php_zip.dll is already in the php.ini
Just enable this:
extension=php_zip.dll

And add:
extension=php_ssh2.dll

In this case, just store them in the PHP folder.
It should be fine.

 

[JASONE25]

I put the 2 files inside c:\php and put the following lines

;extension=php_ssh2.dll
;extension=php_zip.dll

aftr this line :

;extension=php_zlib.dll

I turn of iis and re start it and same strange error ? Any solution ?Thanks

 

[VBakias]

The ; comments the line, so it won't be executed.

 

[WoodyRoundUp]

You need to delete the ";".

So:

extension=php_ssh2.dll
extension=php_zip.dll

 

[JASONE25]

ah. Same error again without ';'!! Am i doing any thing wrong here.Thanks

 

[WoodyRoundUp]

what error you got?

 

[VBakias]

In newer versions of php such as your installed, there is no need of these dlls. So by default in the php.ini file, they are commented. This ini file is copied in //windows during installation. You don;t copy it by yourself.

From the middle of the file php.ini and so on there are some other settings about ODBC and mySQL. Are they correct?

Also add the folder C:/php/ to the system environment variables $PATH. Right click on My computer -> Properties -> select tab page "Advanced" -> hit Environment variables. At the second listbox, dbclick "path" and add the php installation directory.

Notice that the paths are seperated by ";

 

[vbkris]

huh?

i thought u had to create a folder called "extensions" in the PHP folder and place the extensions in them!!!

Known is handfull, Unknown is worldfull

 

[JASONE25]

when i type

http://localhost/phpMyAdmin/index.php

i get this error for my phpMyAdmin!!

cannot load mysql extension;
please check PHP configuration
Documentation

I did not change any odbc or mysql setting from php.ini file. I also add the php path but still the same!!

 

[DRJ478]

PHP5 uses probably mysqli and not mysql.
Have you checked out from your phpinfo() what is compiled in the standeard distribution?

 

[sleipnir214]

PHP 5 can use either the mysql or mysqli family of functions. It all depends on which version of MySQL you are using and thus which client libraries are available.
