Proposed Modifications to PHP_SNMP Extension for Consideration

The config.w32 didn't pass through. If you change the extension to .txt, we
will be able to receive it.

Hello Internals List! For some time now, the PHP_SNMP extension for
Windows
has used the dated and no longer supported (in development) UCD-SNMP
libraries. This situation is problematic, as there have been a number of
changes and bug fixes to the extension that require the NET-SNMP
libraries.
I have been able to make the php_snmp.dll in Windows utilizing the
NET-SNMP
libraries, but had to make changes to the following two files:

config.w32
snmp.dsp

I have attached the two files as reference. However, there remains a
development issue that requires a more skilled programmer to resolve. If
I
make the package unaltered, I receive the following two compiler errors:

..\php_build\include\net-snmp\library\system.h(77) : error C2371: 'DIR' :
redefinition; different basic types
c:\msvc\php-5.0.4\TSRM\readdir.h(34) : see declaration of 'DIR'
..\php_build\include\net-snmp\library\system.h(80) : error C2371:
'readdir'
: redefinition; different basic types
c:\msvc\php-5.0.4\TSRM\readdir.h(38) : see declaration of 'readdir'

In order to build the dll file correctly, I edited
<net-snmp/library/utilities.h> and commented out "#include
<net-snmp/library/system.h>", but that appears to be a hack.

I have a bug open in the PHP Bug Database speaking to this issue as
follows:

#35696 The function "snmp_set_oid_numeric_print" does not exist on the
Win32 platform

This change will fix multiple annoyances such as the automatic creation of
the "c:/usr/snmp/persist" directory by the php_snmp.dll file, and, as
stated
previously, the lack of important php_snmp functions and bug fixes in
Windows.
