win32service for PHP 5.1.6

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8

Hi all,

First post to this list, so please forgive any inadvertent violations of
decorum.

I just today stumbled upon the win32service extension, which appears like it
will do exactly everything that I've been looking toward external tools and
utilities to do -- specifically, and unsurprisingly, installing a PHP script
as a Windows service.

However, PECL's page has no releases at all, and I can't seem to find the
DLL for PHP 5.1.6; in fact, I've only seemed to find it for 5.2 and 5.3.
Unfortunately, for reasons I'd rather not get into at the moment, upgrading
my PHP version isn't an option right now; can anyone help me locate a DLL
for this extension that will work for PHP 5.1.6?

Thanks,
Travis

Hello Travis.

I've done a lot of work on this extension recently. I'm only building
it for 5.3.4-dev. I've not got any tests for it either.

I don't have VC6 (only VC9 Express Edition), so I can't build it for
5.1.6. As it is really only of use in a CLI environment, it hasn't
been tested/compiled for ISAPI or a thread safe SAPI either.

As far as I know, the current code has never been compiled for 5.1.6.

Rather than upgrading PHP, why not just use 2 versions of PHP?

PHP5.3CLI+Win32Service+whatever extensions you need just for the
service side of things.

Keep it all in an un-PATH'd location.

Use registry to load separate ini file for PHP versions on the
services machine and be careful about using new functionality in your
code if it is going to be cross version.

The dlls available from http://www.php.net/~pierre/ are going to be
for a very old version of the extension. It may be perfectly suitable.

Unfortunately, as there is no release, only trunk has been documented.
There is no changelog entries in phpdoc, but if you look at the commit
history on http://svn.php.net/viewvc/pecl/win32service/trunk/win32servi ce.c?view=log
for revision 304478 onwards, you can see the additional work I've
completed.

If you don't need the later facilities, then the pre-compiled binaries
by Pierre would dictate which version of PHP you could use for the
services.

Richard.

No problem. If you find anything not working, please report it.

If you need any help, then let me know. OOI, where was the
pre-compiled binary for 5.1.6?

Aha. Thanks for the link. Good luck.
