Comment on substr() in IE and Firefox by Nathan

Cheers mate, that’s really helped me! I was getting so frustrated as this is forming part of a function that performs an AJAX submit on a lightbox form… How the hell does this kind of thing happen anyway? It is really unacceptable that two browsers that run the same scripted language would return different results from a core function! Aaaahhhhh!

If you’re not able to get the ssh2 PHP extension installed, don’t worry - there’s a far easier solution available - phpSecLib:

http://phpseclib.sourceforge.net/

By virtue of being pure-PHP it should work on pretty much any server.

@Derak, can you confirm the php.ini that’s listed in the phpinfo() output? Apache can be configured to use a different ini file, in which case you would need to add the extension= line in step 8 to the php.ini that apache is reading

Hi Ethan,

Where would you like me to send the screenshot?

I should be hitting some large numbers by the end of the month so I can send one then. The email address provided for this post works, if you want to email it to me.

Cheers and thanks for responding and keeping this widget up to date!

I have restarted apache and I have also rebooted. I still have the same problem.

@Derak it sounds like you just need to restart apache (step 10) and you should be ok

I’m working with Mac OS X. I can install everything fine with no errors. When I type php -i | grep ssh2 I see ssh2 in my Registered PHP Streams. But with I go to my phpinfo() page in my browser ssh2 does not show up in my Registered PHP Streams. Any ideas?

Another tidbit from today’s effort.

My apache, php, mysql all come from Macports. Consequently, they are not in /usr. Macports uses /opt.

To make this work, I had to change two things about this recipe.

FIRST, add a step 5b where to change the search path for the installation to refer to /opt.

Specifically:

File: /opt/local/var/pear/temp/download/ssh2-0.11.0/config.m4

Change line 8 from: SEARCH_PATH=”/usr/local /usr”

To: SEARCH_PATH=”/opt/local/var/macports/software/libssh2/1.2.1_0/opt/local /usr/local /usr”

SECOND, Step 7 (the file copy of the .so) has to change to reflect the Macports directory:

sudo cp modules/ssh2.so /opt/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20090626/ssh2.so

I don’t know who wrote this bit of instruction, but I want to offer huge gratitude. It saved me a huge amount of time.

A small caution.

I copied and pasted the command from Step 6, passed it through bbedit to strip any formatting stuff and tried to use it. Turns out that the leading hyphen is something funky (ascii 8211) and is not recognized by ./configure.

I changed it to a regular text hyphen and the error went away.
