Hi,
I can commit the patch, but I can't test it due to a 
lack of linux around here. Can you please make sure it 
works AND doesn't brake anything else?

Jan
 [2003-07-27 09:30 UTC] nicos@php.net
Lack of linux! What! Jan! 

:-)

I can commit too. It should work fine with every OS, but I'm not sure thats why I wait for feedback of the maintainer...
 [2003-07-27 10:44 UTC] mj@php.net
The patch looks fine for me and it obviously does not break anything. Can any of guys take care of committing it and rolling a new release afterwards?
 [2003-07-30 15:33 UTC] nicos@php.net
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.

There is still a bug:

[var_dump()-snip]
    string(62) "2 packets transmitted, 2 received, 0% packet loss, time 1007ms"
    [6]=>
    string(55) "rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 224.307/224.317/224.327/0.010 ms"
  }
  ["_sysname"]=>
  string(5) "linux"
  ["_round_trip"]=>
  array(3) {
    ["min"]=>
    string(7) "224.317"
    ["avg"]=>
    string(7) "224.327"
    ["max"]=>
    string(5) "0.010"
  }
[/snip]

You can see he read out the wrong values for the round-trip-infos.
There are 2 solutions. The first one is to decrease all indices by one or the second solution is this patch

There are a lot of more bugs in the PEAR::Net_Ping package. I have tested it only on linux but i believe these bugs are in the parse-functions of all non-windows plattforms, too. Look at these var_dump-outputs of a Ping_Result object of reachable and not-reachable hosts.

--- end of var_dump outputs ---

The second try with an unreachable host will produce also this output:

Notice:  Undefined offset:  4 in /usr/lib/php/Net/Ping.php on line 614
Notice:  Undefined offset:  5 in /usr/lib/php/Net/Ping.php on line 615
Notice:  Undefined offset:  6 in /usr/lib/php/Net/Ping.php on line 616

As you can see the values in the properties are almost everywhere wrong. The method
checkhost() create also a lot of errors, but there is only 1 line wrong...
So, I have studied the sourcecode of Ping.php and have written this patch.

This patch will also convert some number-values to integer-values and add a "mdev" field in the _round_trip property, if it exists.

Btw.: The methodes below Ping_Result::getTargetIp() are all marked as private methodes but haven't a '_' prefix. Are they all deprecated in favor of Ping_Result::getValue() or are the all public?

    [_sysname] => linux
    [_round_trip] => Array
        (
            [min] => 298.179
            [avg] => 397.075
            [max] => 41.305
        )

-----------------
I get it again from  CVS.
There are another error.

min/avg/max/mdev = rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 250.889/298.179/397.075/41.305 ms
Now: 
            [min] => 298.179
            [avg] => 397.075
            [max] => 41.305
Need:
            [min] => 250.889
            [avg] => 298.179
            [max] => 397.075

why there is no parametr -i in Linux options ?!!

       -i interval
              Wait interval seconds between sending each packet.  The default is to wait for one  second  between
              each packet normally, or not to wait in flood mode.

For repair this bug need to change:
From:
---------
            if (strpos($this->_raw_data[$raw_data_len - 1], 'mdev')) {
		/* do not forget the rtt field */
                $this->_round_trip['min']    = ltrim($round_trip[5]);
                $this->_round_trip['avg']    = $round_trip[6];
                $this->_round_trip['max']    = $round_trip[7];
            } else {
                $this->_round_trip['min']    = ltrim($round_trip[4]);
                $this->_round_trip['avg']    = $round_trip[5];
                $this->_round_trip['max']    = $round_trip[6];
            }
------------------
To:
            if (strpos($this->_raw_data[$raw_data_len - 1], 'mdev')) {
		/* do not forget the rtt field */
                $this->_round_trip['min']    = ltrim($round_trip[4]);
                $this->_round_trip['avg']    = $round_trip[5];
                $this->_round_trip['max']    = $round_trip[6];
            } else {
                $this->_round_trip['min']    = ltrim($round_trip[4]);
                $this->_round_trip['avg']    = $round_trip[5];
                $this->_round_trip['max']    = $round_trip[6];
            }
------------------

Hmm, the code mentioned above seems quite strange - since it has the same code in both parts of the if-tree :-))

Don't the patches from Progman2002 work fine? Didn't have time to try but had a look at the source. And his ideas seem to make the parser more flexible. They should also catch the recent problems correctly.

Might somebody of the Net_Ping-team please have a look? Do they maybe have sample-outputs from various linux-systems at hand - or is the output the same on all variants / versions?

There have been a number of new releases for Net_Ping recently. Can you please the latest and report back, if the problem persists?
 [2004-03-07 11:27 UTC] kennyt@php.net
Oops, probably my fault. :-)
