Re: Problems with PHP4 & MySQL Packages

[christophe barbe <christophe@cattlegrid.net>]

I don't know about the dying process bug. What I see is that var_dump
returns only garbage content. This bug made me discover the print_r php
function that does more that var_dump and my custom displayArray()
function.

Concerning the dying process, I don't see this behavior. I am mostly
uptodate concerning LAMP:

~$ apt-cache policy apache mysql-server php4
apache:
  Installés : 1.3.27.0-1
  Candidat : 1.3.27.0-1
 Table de version :
 *** 1.3.27.0-1 0
        500 http://ftp.us.debian.org sid/main Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
mysql-server:
  Installés : 4.0.13-1
  Candidat : 4.0.13-2
 Table de version :
     4.0.13-2 0
        500 http://ftp.us.debian.org sid/main Packages
 *** 4.0.13-1 0
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
php4:
  Installés : 4:4.2.3-14
  Candidat : 4:4.2.3-14
 Table de version :
 *** 4:4.2.3-14 0
        500 http://ftp.us.debian.org sid/main Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
