portability error

just had a quick question, maybe someone else has run into this...

when I use the standard connection method:

php Code:

Original - php Code
$dsn = 'mysql://my_username:my_password@my_vds'; $options = array( 'debug' => 2, 'portability' => DB_PORTABILITY_ALL, ); $db =& DB::connect($dsn, $options); if (DB::isError($db)) { die($db->getMessage()); } else { return $db; }

 
            $dsn = 'mysql://my_username:my_password@my_vds';
            $options = array(
                'debug'       => 2,
                'portability' => DB_PORTABILITY_ALL,
            );
 
            $db =& DB::connect($dsn, $options);
            if (DB::isError($db)) {
                die($db->getMessage());
            }
            else {
                return $db;
            }

I get an error about the portability option:

"DB Error: unknown option portability"

any thoughts would be appreciated, thanks in advance

RE: portability error

Just wondering, why are you using the DB package with PEAR instead of the core PHP functions for mysql?

RE: portability error

RE: portability error

check your version of DB.php.. perhaps you have an older or buggy version

you can also set portability options with the setOption() function, and if _ALL isn't working you could just bitwise AND the options you actually want together

php Code:

Original - php Code
<?php $dbh->setOption('portability', DB_PORTABILITY_LOWERCASE \| DB_PORTABILITY_RTRIM); ?>

 
<?php
  $dbh->setOption('portability',
  DB_PORTABILITY_LOWERCASE | DB_PORTABILITY_RTRIM);
?>

check this out for reference

http://pear.php.net/package/DB/docs/1.6.6/DB/DB_common.html#methodsetOption

see if any of that helps
