Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 58876
bcdiv() apparently not provided by php-4.0.6-7
Last modified: 2007-04-18 12:39:13 EDT
Description of Problem: using php-4.0.6-7, php pages using bcdiv() encounter errors: Fatal error: Call to undefined function: bcdiv() in [filename] This is rather odd, as http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.bcdiv.php seems to state that bcdiv(0 is in php > 4.0.0 . Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): php 4.0.6-7 How Reproducible: always. All night. Steps to Reproduce: view a php file of the following content under apache on RH72: <html><head></head><body> <? $outpt = bcdiv("3","4",2); ?> </body></html> Actual Results: Fatal error: Call to undefined function: bcdiv() in /home/bishop/public_html/test.php on line 2 Expected Results: 0.75 Additional Information: works on 3.0.18, and any other PHP4 implementation. Something fishy is afoot.
argh. s/$outpt =/echo/ in my example for code I used on my RH62 box.
http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.bc.php That version of php wasn't compiled with --enable-bcmath hence those functio calls aren't available. If I get time I'll try and get an errata out that does, however, I'm very busy with other work for php 4.1.1
Hey, I'll save you the trouble: 4.0.6-13 *is* built with --enable-bc-math or so. The only problems with 4.0.6-13 is: - it's RawHide, and apparently even RH doesn't recommend they be used for anything other than bleeding-edge masochists. - it requires about a gazillion OTHER rawhide packages, because it was built on a system with all those libraries installed. Were Terpstra to find out about something like this, he'd rant yet more on Against my better judgement *and* the apparent RH statement regarding the potential instability of RawHide packages (for purposes of liabilility 8-), I grabbed 4.0.6-13, rebuilt it on my bare 7.2 + updates box, and installed it. This 406 package provided both bcmath and gmpmath functions, so it was a win. Now. If you can rebuild that package on a box without all the extra crap in there and get 406-13 blessed with the Errata stamp becuase it's a compatibility error, we can all be happy. 8-) (thanks for the reply, btw, the turnaround was really good for a Monday) - bish
whoa, slow up there. Did an errata release come out? RawHide isn't support, or so I hear, and I need something that's supported.
Well, it's queued up for errata Phil =--=
That was supposed to read 'supportED'. I just realized that my error could be misread; please, no slur intended on RH Support. (Hey, I may need a job some day, and the LAST thing I need to hear is "Well, we liked your resume, and the juggling of sharp knives *was* impressive; now tell us about Bugzilla #58876....") So, what's the typical schedule after being queued? A week, a month? Heck, after the Superbowl, I *need* another over-under on which to bet...
Errata due in the next few days Phil =--=
