I know how to use it, I just need to know how to INSTALL IT.

The function is packaged in php 4 and 5. I am using php 4.3.11 and the function shows with auto-complete in my Komodo IDE.
When I execute the function in code I get a call to undefined function, could be because I am using IIS on a windows operating system. The manual says is an Apache-specific function.

Ok, so your advice is what?

[bokehman]

Are you running Apache?
Are you running PHP as an Apache module (not cgi)?

If your answer to either of the above is no it will not be available.

Running Apache: YES
PHP As apache Module: YES

Anyone else

http://localhost/test.php

header('Content-type: text/plain');
 
apache_note('test', 'newdata!');
 
print apache_note('test');

This should print 'newdata!'

If not turn error_reporting to E_ALL do not hide notices.

[ToddW]

If it worked I wouldn't need help... of course the error is the SAME as I posted first.

Call to undefined function apache_note()

Then you have a problem with your configuration you sure PHP being run as an Apache Module?

check phpinfo() the first box should have something like this: Server | API Apache 2.0 Handler

[ToddW]

WTF, it says CGI in there!

Yetin my apache configuration it says module.

How do I change that? (it's cpanel/whm box)

You can't change it without reloading the server software from scratch.

So, disabling phpsuexec won't disable running php as CGI...?

Or by "reloading software from scratch" did ytou mean just reloading apache?

SuExec is in the server build, not PHP. Also I wouldn't consider disabling it just to gain some irrelevant PHP function. The extra security you get from SuExec is worth every minor inconvenience.

Suexec is in the apache build not the entire "Server" build. ANd on a cpanel server when you rebuild apache you can upgrade php too. I got it working.

The extra "SueXec" features you speak of... don't they only apply when multiple accounts/users are on the system.. ?

There are always multiple users on a Linux system. We're talking OS "users", not physical people. The security you gain by having each website's files owned by that website's user, and non-web files inaccessible to those users, is negated when every script process runs as the apache server's user which has greater permissions. Suexec allows you to run those script processes as the individual user instead, restoring the isolation through permissions. It helps to isolate a security hole in one website from allowing access to all websites and beyond.
