php4ts.dll causing GPF (apache/win32)

[Anon]

Hi,

Strange problem.. I use a web based script to edit/maintain my MySQL database local on a Win98 machine (PHP4.0.2/MySQL/Apache).

The same script is used on the "real" webserver, except there we use IIS4 instead of Apache.

When I try to locally do a query on a table using this script, I get a GPF (general protection fault) caused in php4ts.dll.

Last time I tried GetRight's monitor was turned on (a download manager). When I did the query, I didn't get a GPF, but instead GetRight activated and asked me where I wanted to download "c:\php\php.exe" to..

I pressed cancel, and no GPF occured. I turned down GetRight, tried again and got the GPF again.

This must be config related I'm sure, and I must have done something wrong. However, I seem to be able to use just about all MySQL functions in my scripts? It's just this one script that's causing the problem. It's originally designed for PHP3 not PHP4.

I think that's the problem, perhaps it's using some PHP3 coding that's causing the problem?? Calling a function that PHP4 doesn't understand, but why would it work on IIS without any problems (same PHP version and MySQL version).

I hope someone can help, or give some useful hints I could look for.

Well Martin it's very simple ;-))))

Answering myself, and still wondering why this is causing a problem I discovered this:

$SCRIPT_NAME

This (somehow) translates into "C:\PHP\PHP.EXE" instead of "file.php".

So the form would read something like this:
<form method="POST" action="C:\PHP\PHP.EXE">

I'm not sure why $SCRIPT_NAME translates to php.exe and not to scriptname.php .... ?

Anyway.. it's solved and working properly now. I'm happy again!!! ;-)
