Hi

I'm trying to run nntp.php in the shell.
As I'm not the httpd user I copied the file to nntp_1.php which is chmoded 777.
I execute it with:
./nntp_1.php 2

I get fallowing error:

PHP Notice: Undefined index: argc in /home/andress/fudforum/scripts/nntp_1.php on line 22
<br />
<b>Notice</b>: Undefined index: argc in <b>/home/andress/fudforum/scripts/nntp_1.php</b> on line <b>22</b></br />
Missing Forum ID Paramater

register_globals is on
register_argc_argv is off
PHP 4.22

I've traced the error and it's the first if statement:

if( $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['argc'] < 2 ) exit("Missing Forum ID Paramater\n");

I changed it to:

if( $_SERVER['argc'] < 2 ) exit("Missing Forum ID Paramater\n");

But that didn't help.

I've tested if there's anything in argv[0], but it's empty.

Could you help me please?

Thanks - Andy

Your problem lies in the fact you got 'register_argc_argv' off, you need to turn them on.

Sure?
Is there no workaround as with the register_globals?

Anyway, I'm requesting that...Thanks - Andy

hmm, thanks but it dind't work for me.

my admin won't activeate register_argc_argv but there's a workaround.

i'm gonna use my own php.ini for command line.

#!/usr/sepp/bin/php -c /path/to/.php.ini

not yet tested, but should work...

Really? now that's unusual register_argv_argc is something that you can set via ini_set(), which is exactly what the script does.

tested it your-self on a register_argc_argv off setup?

i'm still getting the same "Missing Forum ID Parameter" message and yes, i'm calling the script with a parameter (>./nntp_1.php 2).

Well, I am using latest CVS, where this option has no affect @ all Razz

You can try this:

#!/usr/local/bin/php -w register_argc_argv=1

this may do the trick.

i didn't test the thing with the custom php.ini file.

#!/usr/local/bin/php -w register_argc_argv=1

didn't work as well.

i've tried the script with hardcoded values (, without argv, ) and i got a undefined function call in nntp.inc.
don't look at it. i'm going to study the whole thing in the next few days. i'm just too tired at the moment, after my yearly exams...

good night - andy

You are showing me the version of your webservers's PHP, the binary is different and quite possibly a different version.

To get the binaries version do:

php -v

Seems like a possible php bug to me. The -w option should've turned them on, the fact it didn't implies some sort of a problem with PHP.

Actually that seems to work.

I've set up a personal php.ini with register_argc_argv on and called it with
php -q -c /path/to/my/php.ini

and now I get some error messages as "can't set time limit in safe mode".
Do I have to disable safe mode for the nntp.php script and how do you do that?

Thanks again - Andy

to disable safe_mode simply set it to off in php.ini

safe_mode = Off

you suggested running the script with fallowing option:

#!/usr/local/bin/php -w register_argc_argv=1

actually it was

#!/usr/local/bin/php -d register_argc_argv=1

option -w in php version is for "Display source with stripped comments and whitespace."
now I get an error on line 443 of nntp.inc.

call to undefined function: nlb2r()

now i'm searching the function as it is used in an if else clause on line 443...

strange, now i don't get the nlb2r() error but a few other undefined functions.

i had to add fallowing lines to nntp.php:

fud_use('fileio.inc');
fud_use('drawmsg.inc');
fud_use('alt_var.inc');

i guess the argc_argv problem is solved.

thanks! - andy
