Please post a sample script

I think I know what could be happening.

snippet of code:

$workstations = file ("workstations.txt");
for ($i=0; $i < $number_of_workstations; $i++)
{

$status = snmpget($workstations[$i], $community, ".1.3.6", $timeout, $retries);

The problem is with $workstations[$i]. When I replace this with the workstation ip address it works. So it seems the problem is with the construction of the argument.

forgot to include that $number_of_workstations = count($workstations);


seems to be a problem with $workstations[$i] in the loop causing this.

Seems more like some bug in your script..
Are you sure $workstations[$i] holds the IP ?
Try adding this before the snmpget() call:

echo "-{$workstations[$i]-";

so you'll see that there aren't any extra stuff in it..like \n or so. Each line in that array returned by file will hold the line ending..

The $workstations array does report correctly the ip's on closer inspection.

echo "-{$workstations[$i]-"; correctly identifies the array members.

just seems to fail as an argument to snmpget.

okay again, I ask for a simple sample script to reproduce this.  Mainly because the sample you gave me, assumes $community exists, and that the array you're creating ($workstations) is correct.  Sorry but more detail is needed.  

Sorry about the lack of detail :{

<?php
$timeout= '300';
$retries= '10';
$community = "public";
$workstation = file("workstation.txt");
$num_workstation = count($workstation);

for ( $i = 0 ; $i < $num_workstation; $i++)
{
print "Workstation: $workstation[$i]  Community: $community Timeout: $timeout Retries: $retries";

//$sysname = snmpget( "localhost","public","system.sysName.0");
$status =  snmpget($workstation[$i], $community, ".1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.3.9.1.1.3.0", $timeout, $retries);

echo $status;
}
?>


workstation.txt is a plain file with workstation addresses, ie

dominator.adelaide.edu.au
my-pc-room3.adelaide.edu.au

Regards.

Like I said in my previous comment, file() preserves any line ending characters in the array data..

Change the line to this:

$status =  snmpget(trim($workstation[$i]), $community, ".1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.3.9.1.1.3.0", $timeout, $retries);

And it works. This is not any bug..
