Installing SNMP Extensions on Windows
« on: April 12, 2010, 06:18:21 PM »
Hello.
I'm developing an application that needs to query a device that speaks only SNMP.
I would like to accomplish this using the SNMP libraries provided by PHP.
I currently have PHP 5.3.2 running on a Dell rig setup with Windows 2003 SP2 and IIS 6.0.
After reading the PHP  home page it looks all I need to do is install the NET-SNMP package.  Right? :confused:
http://us.php.net/manual/en/snmp.requirements.php

Basically I figure that if all I have to do is install NET-SNMP, that would be too easy....so something is wrong.
There was some talk of a UCD SNMP install on a related page and in order to install that, I would have to
recompile PHP after making some changes in the config.h or acconfig.h file.
http://us.php.net/manual/en/snmp.installation.php

Can someone help me make heads and tails of this please.

What is the difference between NET-SNMP and UCD SNMP?
Thanks!
