Description:
------------
When PHP runs under Apache and snmp_set_quick_print(TRUE) is issued, the behavior of all SNMP-related functions will be "quick print" for the lifetime of the PID. 

NET-SNMP Support => enabled
NET-SNMP Version => 5.4.1
PHP version: 5.2.4

There are two possibilities:
 1) This behavior is "by design": If this is the case I think the manual page for snmp_set_quick_print() needs a warning for this behavior.
 2) This is a bug: For each PID the behavior should be (re)set to the default behavior after execution of the script.


Reproduce code:
---------------
pet@workmate:/tmp$ sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart > /dev/null 2>&1
pet@workmate:/tmp$ for (( i=0; i<5; i++ )) ; do links -dump http://localhost/snmp_get_quick_print.php; done
   snmp_get_quick_print: '' | pid: '9402'
   snmp_get_quick_print: '' | pid: '9403'
   snmp_get_quick_print: '' | pid: '9404'
   snmp_get_quick_print: '' | pid: '9405'
   snmp_get_quick_print: '' | pid: '9406'
pet@workmate:/tmp$ links -dump http://localhost/snmp_set_quick_print.php
   snmp_set_quick_print: '' | pid: '9406'
pet@workmate:/tmp$ for (( i=0; i<5; i++ )) ; do links -dump http://localhost/snmp_get_quick_print.php; done
   snmp_get_quick_print: '' | pid: '9403'
   snmp_get_quick_print: '' | pid: '9404'
   snmp_get_quick_print: '' | pid: '9446'
   snmp_get_quick_print: '' | pid: '9405'
   snmp_get_quick_print: '1' | pid: '9406'

It's pretty simple issue, propably need to add some netsnmp shutdown function in RINIT which clears all the settings between requests.

The snmp module needs a bit of rededesign.  It should handle many of the commands from the native calls, like multiple OID get's in a single array, in other words, make the OID a mixed type for a get request.

Also, the snmp functions should require a resource (aka snmp session) in order to work, just like is done in the API, for which it would be based.

In that case, to setup a quick print, you start a session, receive a pointer to a (structure/resource) in return and then all subsequent calls need to also pass the resource to the function.  Once you are done, you need to close the sessions.

This will have to be a new class of calls though as simply changing thing around will make life difficult for everyone.

Please try using this snapshot:

  http://snaps.php.net/php-trunk-latest.tar.gz
 
For Windows:

  http://windows.php.net/snapshots/

Please check OO API from trunk. It has an option to specify session-wise OID output format and more.

Sources in trunk can be compiled against downto php 5.2
