Thanks for the report on different OS versions. I’m not able to offer much help as I’m not an expert in windows executables. It seems PHP 5.3.0 might only be 100% compatible with Windows XP SP2 and up. In the past the biggest complaint about phc-win is that it wasn’t up to date, so now I want to keep moving forward and not worry so much about backward compatibility.

Well my test executable works only on S3! On S1 won’t run saying it’s not an executable (I don’t recall exact error but I can tell you later). On S4 it runs only after a while. Let say I run it like “test.exe -h” at the command prompt (as it is a console application) I have to wait about 40 seconds then I get the output !!!!! Of course in S3 the help answer is immediate, less than a second to do the same operation. As expected and as it works on the clients!
Any ideas??
This morning if I have time I’ll try to build a win appl instead of console one so I can test if there is a problem in the EXE building as I’m lead to think.

BTW thanks for previous answers ..I saw them just now!

P.S. I do hope I’ll have time soon to look into the code to write a REDO button/menu item..

http://downloads.php.net/pierre/

It should be this:

http://downloads.php.net/pierre/php_win32service-svn-20091117-5.3-nts-VC9-x86.zip

or this:

http://downloads.php.net/pierre/php_win32service-svn20091206-5.3-nts-vc9-x86.zip

I’ve already forgotten!
Anyway it works.

No way for the SHMOP unfortunately.

Now I’m trying to figure out how to read a configuration file in the same dir..

Bye

That means you must compiled the DLL with VC9, not the VC6 version. I guess the ones currently on the pecl website are compiled with VC6.

As for command line, I plan on offering that in my next release

thanks for the using phc-win

- php_shmop.dll (necessary fir IPC Inter-Process-Communication)
- php_win32service.dll (necessary for creating Windows Services that respond to start/stop WinServiceManager commands)

For both I receive the infamous error:

PHP Warning: PHP Startup: win32service: Unable to initialize module
Module compiled with module API=20060613
PHP compiled with module API=20090626
These options need to match

Fatal error: Call to undefined function shmop_open() in
test.php on line 124

The php-embed.ini of course contains:
—— cut here ——-
..
..
extension=php_shmop.dll
extension=php_win32service.dll
—— cut here ——-

That’s really a sin.
I’ve extracted the (dated 25-09-2008) from the phpV530 distribution.
Instead, the “php_win32service.dll” (dated ‎06-08-2008) from pecl5.2-win32-200808060430.zip found googling around on:
http://snaps.php.net/win32/

Unfortunately I don’t have more recent pecl DLLs neither for “php_win32service.dll” nor for “php_shmop.dll”.

BTW it could be nice to be able to run phc from the command prompt or at least have drag-n-drop enabled (drag a PHP to get the exe) in order to automatize the exe production.

Thanks a lot in advance for any eventual hint!

P.S. Sorry for the possible cross-posting (I wasn’t able to find back my already sent msg).

Now the problem seems to be that PECL is version PHP 5.2 it is not compatible with PHP 5.3.1 inside phc, so I get an error:

—— cut here ——–
win32service_sampleV.1.7.exe -install
PHP Warning: PHP Startup: win32service: Unable to initialize module
Module compiled with module API=20060613
PHP compiled with module API=20090626
These options need to match
in Unknown on line 0
PHP Version: [5.3.1]
—— cut here ——–

I was using phc-031.
Can you suggest me how solve the problem?
-1- Do I need to get back to PHP 5.2 in phc?
a) How? Just override the DLLs ? Is it possible to redirect to a different dir
to get old 5.2 DLLs for specific projects?
-2- Can I find Win32Service.dll (from PECL) for PHP v.5.3.1 as phcWin?

Note: Win32std is different from Win32Service.

Thanks a lot for your support.. I’m going to keep on with my php damned WindowService hard experiments ..

Thanks for that great extension. I have the commercial license of the JW FLV Player and I was very very happy to find your script.

One question, is it possible at all to have a thumbnail preview to click and to open the video in either a new page or through Lightbox/Thickbox?

I have seen implementations of thickbox and lightbox into mediawiki but it looks pretty complicated and I would skip this if it’s not possible to link your extension at the lightbox trick.

Thanks again!

I agree wbOhjects is a bit tough to follow. I’ve stopped using it for the most part as it’s too complex. You might want to check out wbEvents which allows you to use more winbinder commands, but still avoids the weird event handling of WinBinder. See this thread for more info: http://winbinder.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=852

If you are trying to pick a language to learn and make EXEs, PHP might not be the best option. If you already know PHP and would like to make tool using PHP, then phc-win is very useful. But in general PHP isn’t well suited for application building.

By the way, Microsoft gives away a “lite” version of Visual Studio, perhaps there is a VB version?

I tried to convert it into VBS form and couldn’t find an opensource vbs to exe.. later I thought, hey why not convert to php and then exe.. I came across many posts. Only your webpage looked genuine and I tried hell lot of unknown programs, don’t know how to operate them. What advice would you give me? Php to exe or vbs to exe or c# to exe?

And, I have downloaded older phc version.. trying to figure out things still. But, I am looking forward for your advice

Thanks and have a nice year ahead.
