New C++API (low level api)

[da2ce7]

All the old C functions have been moved to the new C++ API. Now swig connects to a C++ api, instead of the C api.

Don't pull yet... still needs lots of testing!

[da2ce7]

Don't Pull Yet.... Just finished a big change... Now int64_t numbers are passed as int64_t (not wrapped in strings any more)!!!

Need to complete the changes to the ot chaiscript files... It would be loverly if there was some compile-time type safety... however I guess I'll just have to do it by hand.

I managed to compile the otapi-php.dll but there was a lot of warnings. It needs to be compiled by VS2008

however i will wait for your go-ahead.

NOTE - that glue/php - this is calling a different dll than the one genrated on compilation

I have got around to making a release that has the otapi-php.dll compiled for win32. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=77301.msg859040#msg859040

Thanks

To run moneymonager , after you run

a) install_userdata b) run_moneymanager

the java throws the following error

We are on Windows! Loading libzmq: Success! Loading chaiscript: Success! Loading otlib: Success! Loading otapi: Success! Loading otapi-java: ERROR: Loading OTAPI Native Failed java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: C:\Open-Transactions\MoneyChanger\data\lib\Win32\Release\otapi-java.dll: The specified procedure could not be fo at java.lang.ClassLoader$NativeLibrary.load(Native Method)

What could be missing ?

[da2ce7]

Ok... I've removed my otapi.i file... and replaced it with the original for this commit.

[da2ce7]

Should be ready to merge.

Remember! \ REQUIRES LATEST VERSION OF CHAISCRIPT **

[jspit]

HI Cameron

VERY important:

note that php latest version are not allowing the use of dl() command so that it will have to be loaded as an extension in php.ini

Also I noticed that the extension has been compiled with the debug option - and that will not load if the php installation was not compiled with the debug option as well.

I am trying to compile it myself.

have yo compiled the otapi-php.so for unix ?

Regards

Jesmond

I haven't been working on the php swig extension that much. I have been working hard on the C++ API. As usual, I recommend that you use IRC for support, it is much easier for these types of questions. Additionally, can I please ask that you move your PHP related messages to your php issue: https://github.com/FellowTraveler/Open-Transactions/issues/123

Commenting on un-related pull requests is not helpful.

HI Cameron

i am using http://webchat.freenode.net/ nickname - jspit

but i don't seem to have the option to write / post messages there.

IF you can help me with this

i am attaching two files:

opentxs - what i see when i run from command line

php - some php scripts to test the api

from php scripts.

a) connection - always 0 - seems that connection to server is not being made

b) ot_api_loadwallet - there it hangs when i looked at the apache logs i found out that it is waiting for the passphrase - i assume this is the reason it is hanging.

is there a way to set the password or send it as a parameter ?

thanks

If you connect to http://webchat.freenode.net/ you need to hop into #opentransactions you may want to use the command /join #opentransactions Unregistered users are able to speak in #opentransactions

b) ot_api_loadwallet - there it hangs

If you want to not have a password prompt, you can change your password to 'test' and that will not prompt anymore (if you are using my cx11 branch).

[jspit]

thanks. that did the trick. but is there a way of passing it as a parameter ?

note : ot_api_get_servercount() and ot_api_get_nymcount() are returning 0 from php

while from opentxs i am seeing 1 server and 2 nyms

what could this be ?

[jspit]

any reason why ot_api_get_servercount() and ot_api_get_nymcount() are returning 0 from php

this is the code i am using

$a = otapi::OT_API_Init(); $b = otapi::OT_API_Cleanup(); $c = otapi::OT_API_SetWallet("wallet.xml");

date_default_timezone_set('UTC'); $tm = otapi::OT_API_GetTime(); $date = date("d/m/Y H:i:s", $tm); echo( $tm . " = " . $date . "
");

$ww = otapi::OT_API_LoadWallet(); echo('load wallet = ' . $ww . "
");

*** all the above return 1 which mean ok **

$cnt = otapi::OT_API_GetServerCount(); echo('server coount : ' . otapi::OT_API_GetServerCount() . '
');

for ($i=0;$i<$cnt;$i++) { $srvID = OT_API_GetServer_ID($i); $echo($srvID . ' '); $server_name = OT_API_GetServer_Name($srvID); echo($server_name . '

This is the mistake here I think.

You should Init() first.

You should Cleanup() LAST. (You cannot make any more OT calls, once you call Cleanup.) The program is over.

You probably don't need to set the wallet if you are just using the defaults. But if you were, you would probably set it before Init.

great work on the php class - much better

is there any way to set the path for ot client and server data to be in a one place place only ?

normally they are installed in C:\Users\JSpit-PC\AppData\Roaming\OpenTransactions

but when i run from php another opentransactions folder is created in

to C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Roaming

i suspect that that is the reason why i am getting a 0 count for server and nyms.

can you also post the lib folder in github so that i can have the latest lib / dll /exe . when i try to compile the sources i end up with a lot of warnings - most probably due to compatability issues. nut they still compile

thanks

[jspit]

HI - In this version, i realize that the php-otapi.dll is compiled with the debug flag on and i cannot load it as an extension in my php

https://github.com/downloads/da2ce7/Moneychanger/da2ce7-Moneychanger-00.12.03-Win32_x64.7z

can that module be compiled without debug - i tried - but was giving me warnings - even tough it compiled.

this could be the reason get_servercount and get_nymcount() are returning 0

[jspit]

HI Cameron

did you receive my message on kvirc - i am as jspit ?

the new version of otapi.php is much better - makes more sense,.

the only thing is that i cannot use the dll as yours is compiled with the debug flag on and my php cannot load it. can you compile it with no debug - i tried to compile it but then was not compatable with your new otlib.dll and otapi.dll.

another thing - what system environmental variables should be set in windows so that in browser ot will not look in C:\Windows\system32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Roaming.... folder

this should be in C:\Users\JSpit-PC\AppData\Roaming as that is where moneychanger and opentxs are updating data.

OTLog::Path_Setup: Error! Scripts folder unable to be accessed: C:\Windows\system32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Roaming\OpenTransactions\opentxs

thanks again for your patience.

Hi

I have sent some messages to Cameron (daec27) on this as I cannot solve it.

However, I am going to try another tack.

Do you have by any chance 'otapi.so'' - unix version for php ?

If so, can you send it to me as i don't have unix on my machine ?

If I can put forward a suggestion :

Why don't you include the lib folder as well on github to inlcude all lib/dll needed ?

Even the includes folder should house all required files.

This so as to avoid any errors on compliation.

Thanks

OTLog::Path_Setup: Error! Scripts folder unable to be accessed: C:\Windows\system32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Roaming\OpenTransactions\opentxs

I've never seen this before! Maybe my app-data location code is broken for your system... :P I'll have to check this out...

What OS are you using?

[jspit]

Hi Cameron

It's Windows7 32 bit

Please if you can compile the otapi-php.dll WITHOUT the debug flag, please do so as when I try to compile the module a lot of warning come up

Also note my previous email as this is strange.

I run opentxs and MoneyChanger and data is ok - I check folder to see if nyms are created and they are I query opentxs with shownyms and showservers and data is ok

Data is created in c:\Users\Jspi\AppData\Roamin\OpenTransactions

There I only have client_data, server_data , opentxs folders, .cfg files and command-line.txt

When I go to the web browser a new path is created in C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Roaming\OpenTransactions

with client_data folder with empty sub-folders.

Points:

a) What needs to be places in the php folder apart from otapi-php.dll ? b) What environmental variables need to be set in Windows ? APPDATA or app-data

Thanks. Jes

When you deploy on the web, what files are required in:

a) php directory - i gues this will only need otapi.dll, otlib.dll and otapi-php.dll - the former 2 are called from otaspi-php.dll

b) under apache2/httdocs/ot do you need the whole ot directory + any php files ?

c) do you need any settings in httpd-conf of apache ?

the data folder / config problem lies as soon as you carry out php new otapi-basic() it's not going to the same path that opentxs and moneychanger are using ie users\appdata\roaming\iopentransactions

thanks

The code for getting the App-Data folder location should be somewhat standard: https://github.com/FellowTraveler/Open-Transactions/blob/da2ce7_c%2B%2Bapi/src/otlib/OTLog.cpp#L1780

[jspit]

When run from command prompt, both 'run_opentxs' and 'run_moneychanger' are pointing to appdata as in c:\user\xxxxxxx\appdata\roaming\opentransactions data is correct

when called from php this is not found and a folder OpenTransactions is created in

C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Roaming

This means that OT is being initialized from php but data/home paths are not reading the APPDATA variable in windows ennvironment varaibales

Can you pass on a parameter when calling class eg new OTAPI_Basic('./opentransactions/client_data') or something like that ?

I know that there was an issue with SHGetFolderPath under windows 7 not returning the correct paths

Or it could be that you need to effect some settings in php.ini or apache htpd.conf. Unless you need to copy the whole ot folder under httpdocs

the weirdest thing is when i try to call

$otapi = new OTAPI_Basic('client_data'); $otapi->WalletExists() return 1 - meaning ok: $otapi->LoadWallet() returns1 - meaning ok date_default_timezone_set('UTC'); $tm = $otapi->GetTime(); - time is being returned

so ot is communicating with php EXCEPT for data folders
