php-gtk port updated to 1.0.2

nospam@example.com (Alex Kiesel) — Sun, 17 Jul 2005 12:41:38 +0200

I've just updated the FreeBSD port of php-gtk to the latest version.

The update is necessary, because a) the php-gtk developers hardcoded the check on PHP 4.3.x into configure, so configure stopped working with the release of PHP 4.4. And b) phpize requires PHPAUTOCONF and PHPAUTOHEADER variables be set, which is done now, too.

Fooling CVS

nospam@example.com (Alex Kiesel) — Sun, 12 Jun 2005 01:00:17 +0200

Ever tried to cvs diff a file that has not yet been added to the repository? Theoretically the -N switch in diff (and cvs diff) would be your friend. However, if the file hasn't "officially" been added to the repository, it wouldn't work.

Problem: I've got no access to the Zend CVS but I want to make a diff with new files. CVS won't let me add the file, even though it doesn't contact the CVS server in any way - that's only the case when actually cvs commit-ing the add.

So what can you do?

Setting a custom packetsize for connections to Sybase

nospam@example.com (Alex Kiesel) — Wed, 21 Jul 2004 01:19:41 +0200

I'm trying to overwrite the default packetsize of a connection to a Sybase server from within PHP. As it shows, this is currently (as of PHP 5.0.0 and before) - broken.
