a version that works with php 4.0.6 ?

[dmoreman]

Hi

What is the latest version of phpmyFAQ that will work with php 4.0.6 ?

Would that be version 1.2.x ?

Hi,

the last version which works with PHP 4.0.6 is phpMyFAQ 1.1.5. This version is very old, buggy and insecure. We do not offer this version for download because of copyright issues.

Sorry.

Thanks for the answer - the reason I asked is that our webserver is due to upgrade to php 4.3.x at the end of January, but I need to run the faq script now.

I have seen a number of sites that are running phpmyfaq 1.1.5 and they look OK - is there no way at all of getting a copy?

or...

is there a way of getting the new version to work with php 4.0.6 ?

all the best

Dave

Hi Dave,

I search around and found a fix for your problem.

Just add this code in index.php, admin/index.php and the installer.php in the top of the file after the "<?php" tag:

Code: Select all

    if (isset ($HTTP_SERVER_VARS))
    {
        $_SERVER = &$HTTP_SERVER_VARS;
    }
   
    if (isset ($HTTP_GET_VARS))
    {
        $_GET = &$HTTP_GET_VARS;
    }
   
    if (isset ($HTTP_POST_VARS))
    {
        $_POST = &$HTTP_POST_VARS;
    }
   
    if (isset ($HTTP_COOKIE_VARS))
    {
        $_COOKIE = &$HTTP_COOKIE_VARS;
    }
   
    if (isset ($HTTP_POST_FILES))
    {
        $_FILES = &$HTTP_POST_FILES;
    }
   
    if (isset ($HTTP_ENV_VARS))
    {
        $_ENV = &$HTTP_ENV_VARS;
    }
   
    if (isset ($HTTP_SESSION_VARS))
    {
        $_SESSION = &$HTTP_SESSION_VARS;
    }

This sould work, but is not tested by me.

Hi Thorsten,

Thanks for the code - I'm afraid it still won't install though :

I get

You need PHP Version 4.1.0 or higher!

at

http://www.staffs.ac.uk/schools/science ... taller.php

any ideas

(thanks for looking this by the way!

Hi Dave,

sorry....

Open the file installer.php and search for

Code: Select all

if (php_check("4.1.0") == FALSE) {

and change it to

Code: Select all

if (php_check("4.0.0") == FALSE) {

Then everything should work.

bye
Thorsten

[dmoreman]

still not there yet!

unbelievably we only have MySQL 3.22.30 !!!!!!!

I hacked the installer.php again as per your last tip

if (mysql_check("3.22.30") == FALSE) {
print "<p align=\"center\">You need MySQL Version 3.23.23 or higher!</p>";
HTMLFooter();
die();
}

and I can then get to the install screen!

BUT

it won't read my passwords and gives

"Error:

Your password or retyped password are empty. Please set your password and your retyped password. "

even though I did type them in

sorry for the continued problem

Hi,

btw, the fulltext search will not work with MySQL 3.22.x!

Hi,

could you please test this code in the first line of index.php, admin/index.php and installer.php:

Code: Select all

if (isset ($HTTP_SERVER_VARS))
    {
        $_SERVER = &$HTTP_SERVER_VARS;
    }
   
    if (isset ($HTTP_GET_VARS))
    {
        $_GET = &$HTTP_GET_VARS;
        $_REQUEST = &$HTTP_GET_VARS;
    }
   
    if (isset ($HTTP_POST_VARS))
    {
        $_POST = &$HTTP_POST_VARS;
        $_REQUEST = &$HTTP_GET_VARS;
    }
   
    if (isset ($HTTP_COOKIE_VARS))
    {
        $_COOKIE = &$HTTP_COOKIE_VARS;
    }
   
    if (isset ($HTTP_POST_FILES))
    {
        $_FILES = &$HTTP_POST_FILES;
    }
   
    if (isset ($HTTP_ENV_VARS))
    {
        $_ENV = &$HTTP_ENV_VARS;
    }
   
    if (isset ($HTTP_SESSION_VARS))
    {
        $_SESSION = &$HTTP_SESSION_VARS;
    }

    {
        $_SERVER = &$HTTP_SERVER_VARS;
    }
#

Dadurch wird zB. $_SERVER nicht *superglobal* und ist somit nicht automatisch innerhalb von Funktionen und Klassen gültig.

[dmoreman]

Hi folks,

'Entschuldigang sie bitte' (sorry for spelling - I did some German 25 years ago at school!)

I'm a little confused as my german is 'nicht sehr gut'

Thorsten - presumably I replace the code you posted first with that new block of code?

Meikel - could you possibly translate your post please ??

I make it :

"Through it zB becomes. $_SERVER not *superglobal* and is therefore not automatic within functions and classes valid. "

Does that mean that

if (isset ($HTTP_SERVER_VARS))
{
$_SERVER = &$HTTP_SERVER_VARS;
}
#

will not work ?


Thanks for all the continuing help!!

[dmoreman]

I tried it with the new code anyway but still get

"Your password or retyped password are empty. Please set your password and your retyped password. "
