[olug] RE: RH PHP Errors

[Brandon Lederer]

Forward from another list.  This thread _may_ apply here.  Not that this is
going to solve your problem, but the similarities between RH and Mandrake
maybe we have found a bug or something.

I hate to ask the obvious, but have you tried restarting Apache? For the
record, I've heard of this happening and the solution turned out to be
restarting Apache (sometimes more tha once). 

In the event that you have already tried that, here's some info that may
shed some light on the issue. The way DaveDAP checks to make sure that
you have LDAP functionality built into PHP is buy calling:

if( function_exists( "ldap_search" ) )
	// yes, you've got it
else
	// no LDAP support

This check is performed in the index.php file, and if you are confident
that you do indeed have LDAP support (ie, other PHP/LDAP apps work
fine), then you can comment out the lines that make the check, lines 55
through 60 in index.php. 

I've since learned that there are better ways to check for the presence
of an extension (with the extension_loaded() function). I've changed it
in CVS to use the new function. If you would be so kind as to check out
the CVS version and tell me if that works for you, I would be very
appreciative.

Hope you can get up and running soon!
