Php – installing php_printer on wamp server

PHPwampserver

Ive been googling around on how to install the php_printer.dll for wamp server, nothing came up. Perhaps, anyone know how to install that ext? Basically, im trying to use php printer function and i need that extension as i heard. i tried http://www.issociate.de/board/goto/751941/Call_to_undefined_function_printer_open().html to install on wamp server, but still give me error in the webpage? i added the extension: php_printer.dll in php.ini

testing code:
<?php
$filename = "test page";
///////
ob_start();
include $filename;
$contents = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
///////
$handle = printer_open("HP80AA62");
printer_set_option($handle, PRINTER_MODE, "raw"); 
printer_write($handle,$contents);
printer_close($handle);
?>

Although I don't have much experience with installing/enabling extensions myself, this has worked for me in the past:

Ensure that php_printer.dll is listed under the "ext" directory inside of your PHP installation. If it isn't there, you will need to download that extension and save it under the "ext" directory.
Add the extension inside of php.ini.
Reboot your server and try again.

Hope that helps,

Php – How to get a variable name as a string in PHP

I couldn't think of a way to do this efficiently either but I came up with this. It works, for the limited uses below.

shrug

<?php

function varName( $v ) {
    $trace = debug_backtrace();
    $vLine = file( __FILE__ );
    $fLine = $vLine[ $trace[0]['line'] - 1 ];
    preg_match( "#\\$(\w+)#", $fLine, $match );
    print_r( $match );
}

$foo = "knight";
$bar = array( 1, 2, 3 );
$baz = 12345;

varName( $foo );
varName( $bar );
varName( $baz );

?>

// Returns
Array
(
    [0] => $foo
    [1] => foo
)
Array
(
    [0] => $bar
    [1] => bar
)
Array
(
    [0] => $baz
    [1] => baz
)

It works based on the line that called the function, where it finds the argument you passed in. I suppose it could be expanded to work with multiple arguments but, like others have said, if you could explain the situation better, another solution would probably work better.

Php – Installing Zend Debugger on Wamp/Windows Vista

Did you checked the firewall?

Seems like you managed to install the debugger if its reported by phpInfo... so i'm guessing that you either put the wrong settings(localhost or 127.0.0.1 might make a difference in the settings dialog) or a firewall stopping the communication.
