Fixing PHP woes for Zabbix

For Zabbix server installation you may need to change one or more php directives depending on the version of Zabbix server being installed.

Here’s some that I had to change,

[root@zabbix ~]# egrep -i '(max_execution_time|date.timezone|mbstring.func_overload|memory_limit)' /etc/php.ini
max_execution_time = 300     ; Maximum execution time of each script, in seconds
memory_limit = 128M      ; Maximum amount of memory a script may consume
date.timezone = "America/New_York"
mbstring.func_overload = 2

Make sure that you remove the prefix “;” if you are changing an ignored directive and do not forget to restart httpd.

Swapping two variables without using third variable – old trick

Pretty old trick, used today in my php code :


// Swap the months if from-month selected is later than to-month
//if($frommon > $tomon){
// $tempmon = $frommon;
// $frommon = $tomon;
// $tomon = $tempmon;
//}
// Smarter way using X-OR
if($frommon > $tomon){
$frommon = $frommon ^ $tomon ^ ( $tomon = $frommon );
}

Everything you’d need with Eclipse!
