Hi to all of you dear friends. Is still possible to print from php scripts directly to server's attached printers? (here it is php for windows, so this question is intended as to print on a windows server WAMP) Thank you for any update. A related curiosity is about PHP_PRINTER.DLL. Has that dll been abandoned? Mr. Pierre Joye is publishing one intended (seems) to fit on php 5.2.8 http://downloads.php.net/pierre/ but using it with last apache makes that extension to not be loaded (checked on apache error log). So playing with search engines i've found (looks like) that the higher php version usable with php_printer.dll is PHP 5.2.8 with pecl for PHP 5.2.6 http://us2.php.net/get/pecl-5.2.6-Win32.zip/from/a/mirror it does work, already verified. Yes, cool! ... But the behaviour is that this does not allow me to upgrade MySQL. (* see at bottom) Next issue/question: seems to me that pecl collections later than 5.2.6 are not available. Isn't it? Thank you for any help or tip on how to upgrade PHP and still be able to print directly to server's attached printers from php scripts. Kind regards Robert (*) about MySQL upgrade (off topic but just to explain my request) With the WAMP environment I've installed phpmyadmin. I was going to install MySQL 5.1.42 but... Well, using the libmysql.dll provided with PHP 5.2.8 makes a warning appear in the phpmyadmin server home page. The warning says: "Your PHP MySQL library version 5.0.51a differs from your MySQL server version 5.1.xx. This may cause unpredictable behavior" Again on search engines...: appeared a solution like "overwrite the php provided libmysql.dll you copied in \system32 directory with the one in the mysql installation directory". Tried. This doesn't work and crashes apache as soon I attempt to login phpmyadmin. So, for the moment, the only solution I've found has been to remove MySQL 5.1.42 and install MySQL 5.0.90 (community). Apache is 2.2.14. Windows is 2008 server standard edition. -- PHP Windows Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
