I use php-4.3.0RC2 with net-snmp-5.0.6. It works so far, but snmpset() always shows a warning "Could not add variable: " and the variable is not set.
I found out, that there is a bug in ext/snmp.c. Here, type and value of the varible are not passed to php_snmp_internal(), so these variables are always 0 and snmp_add_var() fails. So, as a solution, php_snmp and php_snmpv3 should pass type and value to php_snmp_internal ant everything is ok.

Do you have a patch for this?

 [2002-12-07 04:35 UTC] rs at epost dot de
I tried this patch in diff -u format. Note that there is also a change in the php_error_docref-string, becaue the output was not very informative. Of course, I would prefer, that a php-snmp maintainer would have a look at it.

This problem still exists for the php 4.3.0 release.  I am also using net-snmp 5.0.6

The patch posted by rs@epost.de fixed the problem.  I updated the offsets in his patch for the 4.3.0 sources.

The updated patch can be found at: http://www.deinon.com/php/php-4.3.0-snmpset.patch

snmpset function said "Couldn't add variable" when I try to use it with version 4.3.0.
But if I use same script with php version 4.2.3 it's work fine in same environment.
I've found this error on CVS version both 4.3.x and 5.x too.
I tried to copy php_snmp.dll from version 4.2.3 to replace version 4.3.0 script is work again.
So I think this must come from snmp extension from 4.3.0 up.

PS there is no problem with snmpget and snmpwalk

This bug has been fixed in CVS.

In case this was a PHP problem, snapshots of the sources are packaged
every three hours; this change will be in the next snapshot. You can
grab the snapshot at http://snaps.php.net/.
 
In case this was a documentation problem, the fix will show up soon at
http://www.php.net/manual/.

In case this was a PHP.net website problem, the change will show
up on the PHP.net site and on the mirror sites in short time.
 
Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better.


Patch applied, thanks!

This bug still exist under 4.3.1!!
It seems like the patch is not added to this version.

The patch works perfectly fine if you add it in 4.3.1
 [2003-07-21 11:02 UTC] philip@php.net
PHP 4.3.0 == 4.3.1 with one slight change to the CGI.  So, this patch exists in PHP as of 4.3.2
 [2003-07-22 02:11 UTC] sniper@php.net
And actually only PHP 4.3.3RC2-dev (STABLE CVS) really works.
