Hi,
I don't know if it's Firebird or PHP question.
Bit of both - probably worth moving to the firebird-php list
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/firebird-php/
I want to use remote administration on one of my pages, at least do a
backup for a Firebird database. Because the database file is located on
a different intranet machine, I have to use service manager to do backup.
So I tried:
$svc_mgr = ibase_service_attach(FBSERVER, FBUSER, FBPASS);
if ($svc_mgr)
{
$bkp = ibase_backup($svc_mgr, $source_db, $dest_file,
IBASE_BKP_NO_GARBAGE_COLLECT, true);
}
ibase_service_detach($svc_mgr);
The bad thing: if I include "server:" in $source_db string, it gives me
an "unkown ISC 0 error".
When I simply put the database alias in $source_db, it freezes the whole
apache, but at least it starts the backup...
Then, when I turn off verbose, it does nothing at all, but gives back a
"true" value.
So I think the closest solution is the second one, but does anybody have
any idea why it shuts down apache? And what can I do to prevent this?
I use Firebird 2.1, PHP 5.2.8 and Apache 2.2.3 on WinXP (as a
development environment)
ibase_backup is not something we would use normally. I think that things
have advanced somewhat since the function was created, and I suspect it
simply does not know about those changes. I've not checked what
ibWebAdmin does currently :(
One of the nice features of Firebird is the ability to backup while
still working with the database, and so it's more normal to have backup
happening as a background task, or via one of the management tools.
