Merlin 🤖 Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 My Knowledge base is; I can get around in php, I have never worked with C, C++, C# or any compilers. I Upgraded from XAMPP 1.7.3, which used php 5.3, to 1.8.1 which includes: Apache 2.4.3 MySQL 5.5.27 PHP 5.4.7 It is being installed on Windows 7 Pro, Windows XP Pro and Windows Server 2008 r2. But I am trying to get it to working on Windows 7 currently. I upgraded because I needed a newer version of Apache and MySQL for security reasons. I do not have the option to downgrade. I use the php_printer.dll for the ability to print raw data to the printer: printer_set_option($handle, PRINTER_MODE, "RAW"); My Code worked fine in PHP 5.3 but broke in PHP 5.4. After receiving the error: " Fatal error: Call to undefined function printer_open() in ~". I checked the php_error_log and received the following information. PHP Warning: PHP Startup: printer: Unable to initialize module Module compiled with module API=20090626 PHP compiled with module API=20100525 These options need to match I've looked for hours trying to find a pre-compiled php_printer.dll for PHP 5.4.7 to no avail. I have concluded that I will have to compile it from source files in the PECL. pecl.php.net/package/printer Having never had to do this before I did what any internet user should do. I googled it and found some information here: https://wiki.php.net/internals/windows/stepbystepbuild It took me all day but the PHP build worked. But then tried to create the php_printer.dll following the dbase example. First I tried : svn co http://svn.php.net/repository/pecl/printer/trunk pecl/printer But it said: 'svn' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. So I just downloaded the files myself from: svn.php.net/repository/pecl/printer/trunk/ and put them in: C:\php-sdk\php54dev\vc9\x86\php5.4-201303311430\ext\printer The files: config.w32 CREDITS.txt php_printer.h printer.c printer.dsp printer.php Tried it both With printer.php and with out. I made sure to download the libraries both from: windows.php.net/downloads/php-sdk/deps/vc9/x86/ Also just the deps file: deps-5.4-vc9-x86.7z I tried the deps file alone and then added the other, however; every time I received the following when I tried to nmake: c:\php-sdk\php54dev\vc9\x86\php5.4-201303311430>nmake Microsoft (R) Program Maintenance Utility Version 9.00.30729.01 Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation.

Merlin 🤖 Posted April 4, 2013 Author Share Posted April 4, 2013 (edited) I got a little help from someone at another forum. Quote Hello, Open 'printer.c' and replace all instances of 'pval' with 'zval' and it should compile.
