1.4.0 alpha2

chriskrash · Post by **chriskrash** » Wed May 19, 2004 4:21 pm

I've setup the latest phpmyfaq, but seem to have a problem with the language files.

I got 1.3.11a and 1.4.0 M2 running on the same server (different database) without any problems whatsoever
- does 1.4.0 have different requirements ?

[1.3.11a]

- beware : it's in Danish

[1.4.0 M2]
http://www.faq.northq.com/int/

[1.4.0 alpha2]
http://www.faq.northq.com/alpha2/

[I'm running Debian Stable]
Apache 1.3.26-0woo
Php 4.1.2-6wood
Mysql 3.23.49-8.6

Hi,

did you use your old language file? It seems so. You cannot use your old language file from 1.3 for 1.4.

Well, to be honest I did try and see if they were compatible.

But realised that it didn't work and unzipped the entire project again.

I tried echo'ing out some of the language strings, but only gets single charecters ???

Was curious to see if it had something to do with me unzipping on my windows xp computer and ftp'ing to our debian linux server.

example (cope of language_en.php):

http://www.faq.northq.com/alpha2/lang/wierd.php (output)
http://www.faq.northq.com/alpha2/lang/wierd.txt (php file)

Hi,

can you change your weird.php file with this code:

Code: Select all

print "<pre>";
print_r($LANG);
print "</pre>";

thanks!

strange, it seems to print the first charter in the last entry
- in this case "b" from "back to home"

I'll try a debian unstable tomorrow at work with a more recent apache and php

Hi,

a friend of mine in an IRC chat discovered that this is a bug in PHP 4.1.2 on Debian Woody.

I'll change the variable name for the language code to fix this Debian Woody specific bug.

Please wait for phpMyFAQ 1.4.0 alpha3!

Hi,

we found a way to solve the problem. Set the register_globals in the php.ini file off and it works.
