Hi,
I am trying to install vBulletin and keep getting this error: Fatal error:
Call to undefined function: gzinflate().
The only thing I can find on this is that zlib needs to be configured with
PHP at compile time. So I reinstalled PHP using the following:
./configure --with-mysql --with-apache=../apache_1.3.36 --with-zlib
--with-gd
make
make install
The above finishes with no error.
I rebooted, but still get same error, and zlib or gd doesn't show up in my
phpinfo output. zlib is installed, and from my understanding gd is included
with PHP, all the other libraries for gd are also installed. So what am I
doing wrong?
Also, how do I find out where something is installed? i.e. zlib. If I do a
search on it I get hundreds of hits...
Last. In the above ./configure line I get a message from PHP saying I am
using the built in version of MySQL - if I point it to the actual MySQL
source directory I get the following error.
configure: error: Cannot find libmysqlclient library under ../mysql-5.0.22
Any help is appreciated.
I am using Slacware 10, PHP 4.4.4, MySQL5.0, and Apache 1.3.36
Thanks

Check if you have zlib-devel or zlib-dev package installed. You need
this to be able to compile support into other applications.
No idea how you do this on slackware.
Also try specifying the path to zlib:
--with-zlib=/usr for example.

Install the mysql-dev/devel &/or mysql-client packages most likely.
Or point it to the right directory. You need to point it to the base of
the mysql package. Eg if mysql is installed in /usr/local/mysql (so
binaries are under /usr/local/mysql/bin & libs are in
/usr/local/mysql/lib) then
--with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql

I have zlib-1.2.1.1-i486-1. Whether that is zlib-devel or zlib-dev I have no

Sort of figured out the MySQL problem, but now I get an error when I run
'make'. This is not a biggie, but the other problem I need to get resolved.

Zlib is different to zlib-dev/zlib-devel.
The zlib package only contains the binaries and man pages.
The zlib-devel package contains the header files (zlib.h for example)
you need for compiling against it.

Yes, validate and escape data properly, the most important thing you
want to protect is anything that goes into the $headers or
$additional_headers.
in the headers field, you want to be sure that the values dont inject
others so if you'd do something like:
$my_cc = preg_replace('/(\r?\n)', '$1 ', $_POST['CC']);
$headers = ''Cc: $my_cc\r\n"
$my_header = preg_replace('/(\r?\n)', '$1 ', $POST['MyHeader']);
$headers = ''MyHeader: $my_header\r\n"
Which should protect any injection of headers.
I would never even consider any user input being put into $additional_headers.

Best part is, they are taking NO FEES from now through 12/31/2007.
So you can use them to receive credit card payments for just over a
year for FREE.
I've used it, and once account was setup, I was paid within 2-3 days.
Best part is, you can, from inside the webpage, click "Send Invoice"
and it will ask you for an email addy, and a description of what you
are billing 'em for. You don't have to create a full shopping cart
system!!!

I'm assuming that this is US only?
An international alternative to Paypal would be nice if only to ensure
that rates are kept competitive.

attached mail follows:
I am working on a set of PHP framework so to speak, designed to create
module based community & content management based scripts. I just started
updating the authentication handlers, which are all PHP 4 classes, and
reworking a long list of changes. The new version i am coding is near
completely incompatible with the old version hence it is extremely hard for
me to compare the new to the old for these errors.
The problem here is PHP is returning the error "Fatal error: Call to a
member function on a non-object in
/home/thenubs/public_html/nauth7b/classes/Auth.class.php on line 24"
Out of this I have two questions which are
First, if a fatal error is occurring on line 24, why is it executing line 24
successfully and returning data?
And second, if there’s a fatal error on line 24, why is line 25 still
processed?
If anyone sees an alternative way to do what I am doing that might work
better to solve the script errors then I am more than welcome to it as well
seeing how my goal is just to get the script to run right. It seems like
this might just be an error in PHP anyways, but I haven’t found anything on
the net about similar occurrences yet.
The explanation and all of the code that you should need in order to see
what’s going in is below.
The output of the entire page is:
SELECT userid, username, password FROM users WHERE username='XeRnOuS'
Resource id #15
stdClass Object ( [userid] => 1 [username] => XeRnOuS [password] =>
$1$684gXdqL$MwtGhJGa7WkEbQoXe/474. ) 55
Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in
/home/thenubs/public_html/nauth7b/classes/Auth.class.php on line 24
Finally here is the code for the first part of the Auth class that i am
working on.
<?php
class Auth
{
var $loggedIN = false;
var $userID = null;
var $authSID;
var $userIP;
var $sql;
var $err;
var $perms;
var $config;
var $userperms = null;
function Auth(&$sql, &$err, &$perms)
{
//set realtive variables for the sql, err, and perms classes
into the current class for easy access.
$this->sql = &$sql;
$this->err = &$err;
$this->perms = &$perms;
$this->config = &$GLOBALS['config'];
$userdat = $sql->fetch_object($sql->query("SELECT userid,
username, password FROM users WHERE username='XeRnOuS'"));
echo '<h1>';print_r($userdat); echo '55</h1>';
$this->authSID = session_id();
$this->userIP = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
if(!is_object($this->sql)) echo '<h1>$sql IS NOT VALID
OBJECT</h1>';
if(!method_exists($this->sql, 'query')) echo '<h1>QUERY IS
NOT A VALID METHOD</h1>';
//destroy timed-out login sessions. Standard users will stay
logged for 1 hour before session is destroyed
$time = time() - 60 * 60; #60 minutes * 60 seconds per
minute = 1 hour ago.
//if user is logged into the website, update it in
$this->loggedIN for quick access for class
//also change $this->userperms from guest permissions to
$this->userID's specific permissions.
if($_SESSION['loggedIN'] === true &&
!is_null($_SESSION['userID']))
{
//check to see if user's session is still active in
sql.auth_sessions
if($this->Auth($_SESSION['userID'], session_id(),
$_SESSION['userIP']))
{
$this->userID = $_SESSION['userID'];
$this->userperms =
$this->perms->getUserPerms($this->userID);
//check to see if sql.auth_sessions.flogout
is set, force user logout if is
//otherwise update
sql.auth_sessions.lastaccess to current unix time stamp
$userdat =
$this->sql->fetch_object($this->sql->query("SELECT flogout FROM
auth_sessions WHERE userID=\"$this->userID\" AND authSID=\"$this->authSID\"
AND userIP=\"$this->userIP\""));
if($userdat->flogout === 1)
{
$this->Logout();
}
else
{
$this->sql->query("UPDATE
auth_sessions SET lastaccess=\"".time()."\" WHERE userID=\"$this->userID\"
AND authSID=\"$this->authSID\" AND userIP=\"$this->userIP\"");
}
}
else
{
//users session has timed out, unset session
information, for auth, set userperms to guest permissions
$_SESSION['loggedIN'] = false;
$_SESSION['userID'] = null;
$this->userperms = $perms->getGuestPerms();
}
}
else
{
//set user permissions file to guest permissions
$this->userperms = $this->perms->getGuestPerms();
}
return true;
}
As you can see i have three main classes, and the scripts use pointers to
point to the original definitions of these classes to simplify the access
and save memory.
$sql is a class that has all the php4 compatible mysql functions defined in
it. The syntax is the same as normal mysql function calls, but i added
additional processing and error handling on the side of them, and changed a
few of the default values. This is mostly used for development purposes so i
can debug everything quickly.
the $sql->query function has the following code in it:
function query($res, $fatal=0)
{
echo '<h3>'.$res;
$res = mysql_query($res, $this->db_link);
if(!$res)
{
$this->addError('SQL->query', 'SQL Error', 'Failed to
execute the MySQL Query.', $fatal);
}
else
{
echo ' '.$res.'</h3>';
return $res;
}
return false;
}
Now when we look at line 24 and 25 of the Auth class i have there, we find
these two lines specifically
$userdat = $sql->fetch_object($sql->query("SELECT userid,
username, password FROM users WHERE username='XeRnOuS'"));
echo '<h1>';print_r($userdat); echo '55</h1>';
with that in mind its easy to see how the data is generated for the most
part.
it calls sql->query which outputs the SQL query and the resource id for that
sql query, defines the object, then outputs what the objects values are with
the letter 55 in big h1 letters.
It's calling both of those SQL functions properly otherwise it wouldn’t be
displaying any data.
Yet for some reason it is saying that there’s a Fatal Error on line 24, and
I’m calling a member function on a non-object.
Hence once more my questions are:
First, if a fatal error is occurring on line 24, why is it executing line 24
successfully and returning data?
Second, if there’s a fatal error on line 24, why is line 25 still processed?
I've been working on this for the better part of four hours and i would
appreciate any help you guys can give me.
Thanks

Maybe because you're running it twice? Line 41 with the $this->Auth( ...
seems to be running the constructor again, it might be failing there?

If you want to write a new parser, or even just submit a patch to
"fix" this, you'll probably figure out why you can't use "list" as a
method name in your class...
Or you'll actually submit a useful patch. :-)
Either way, the problem will be solved, eh?

Is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong?
Thanxs, Sjef
