Some months ago I got really into SNMP, because I finally was in
an environment that inspired me to go nuts with it. Unfortunately,
getting SNMP support in PHP wasn’t as easy as everything else is in
PHP, so I started scouring the web for answers. Finally I found
one, and got it to work, but I didn’t document it myself for some
reason. When I had to do the whole process over again on a new
install of Redhat, not only was it very hard to get working, but I
also couldn’t track down the post where I had gotten my solution
before! UGH! So I created this document as a short, simple
reference for me and anyone else who finds it useful. Read more for
the ‘magic hack’ involved in getting this to work.
