@Lukasz: Yeah, I worked that out ;)

I've just tried installing it again on my laptop, and the error I get is:

Fatal error: Cannot use string offset as an array in /var/www/ez-php5/kernel/classes/packagehandlers/ezcontentobject/ezcontentobjectpackagehandler.php on line 1133

Then the usual note about eZ publish not finishing its request. This happens just after the last step when it is creating the sites. It does create at least some of the tables in the database before it falls over.

I'm using Apache 2.0.55 with the prefork MPM, PHP 5.1.2 and MySQL 5.0.22 - all the Ubuntu 6.06 default packages. Error reporting is set to not include E_STRICT, though I'm just going to change that and try again. I was trying to use the "Corporate" site package. If you need any more information give me a shout.

I've updated the downloadable package: http://users.telenet.be/coomans/ezpublish_384_php5.tar.gz

- The annoying errors about mktime are solved.
- Content cache gets cleared again on publishing.
- Removing drafts/published objects works again.

... and a lot of other stuff has been fixed.

@Kristof, this version is much more "stable" ;) Here is what I found with debug redirection enabled. Everything related to content edit/remove/publish, also creation of content classes.

@Michael:
I get the same results with the corporate package:

Fatal error: Cannot use string offset as an array in kernel/classes/packagehandlers/ezcontentobject/ezcontentobjectpackagehandler.php on line 1133

Since PHP5, illegal use of string offsets causes E_ERROR instead of E_WARNING (<i>
http://www.php.net/manual/en/migration5.incompatible.php</i>). We should see if we get a warning in the official version of eZ. If we get the warning there, then this is a problem in the official version and not of our port to PHP5.

I'll investigate this further.

Later at the day I will do a new release with some bug fixes and improvements.

In a few minutes the downloadable package will be updated: http://users.telenet.be/coomans/ezpublish_384_php5.tar.gz

It contains a bunch of fixes and I also added a mysqlidb database plugin and a __autoload function.

Hi,

I hope I can give it a proper try this week-end (php5+php4+lighttpd) and let you know. Out of lazyness, any chance to have it on a svn server very soon ?

In case you have ideas and just for my notes. These are the steps I took:
-OS: windows
-installed apache 2.0.55 with winnt MPM
-installed mysql 5.0.18
-start mysql and apache services
-installed php 5.1.6 and verify with phpinfo()
-unzip ezpublish 3.8.4 to htdocs
-rename to ez_php5
-unzip ezpublish_384_php5.tar.gz (version Sept 22) over top
-browse http://localhost/ez_php5/index.php
-errors:
(No images appear)

Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #1 is not an array in C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\ez_php5\lib\ezutils\classes\ezsys.php on line 821			
Module not found

The requested module setup could not be found.

-tried type casting ezsys.php line to array again. Fixes warning, but still no setup module
-tried moving ez_php5 to root of htdocs. Now images appear. But still no setup module. Ezpublish error log says "No such attribute for array(6): help" and summary and progress

@Samuel:

You do not need to use the official tar first, just skip that step. I think you did not completely extract my tar.gz archive (extract once and you get a ez_php5.tar file, extract that one too and you're done) and that you're just using the official eZ publish.

@Kristoff: I just tried installing the official 384 and I didn't see any trace of a warning there with debugging switched on. I'll shortly go off and try installing your new tarball with the settings from one of our sites like I did before and see what happens.

I inspected the eZContentObjectPackageHandler code that triggered the fatal error and I think it does not make any sense, so I posted a bug report about it: http://ez.no/bugs/view/9069.

It's in svn now: http://pubsvn.ez.no/svnparent/nextgen_php5

If you want write access, register on http://pubsvn.ez.no/projects and mail me your user name.

Hi,

I suppose that's the

http://pubsvn.ez.no/svnparent/nextgen_php5/stable/3.8 ?

(ie not the original which is the branch of a 3.8 php4, isn't it ? )

Hi Xavier

Yes, you're right. I've explained the layout in a reply on the previous page:<i>http://ez.no/community/forum/developer/ez_publish_3_x_on_php_5#msg109346</i>. Because no one commented on that I've chosen the easy way.

@Kristof,
I made much more progress with using the version from pubsvn. (I wonder if my windows zip client was messing up my previous attempts?)
My environment is same as above

Minor issues:
1. strtotime and strftime strict errors in xzy\\ez_php5\lib\ezutils\classes\ezdebug.php on line 898

2. If I try to choose to send a registration email (in the last step of setup) I get this. But it is possible my SMTP and firewall are not allowing correct operation too...

 PHP Fatal error:  Using $this when not in object context in xyz\\ez_php5\\lib\\ezutils\\classes\\ezmail.php on line 621, referer: http://localhost/ez_php5/index.php

I need to stop for now, but so far it looks great!

Hello Samuel

1. Can you give us the exact error message?
2. I fixed this in svn.

Thanks for testing!

I have re-enabled the I18n caching that's causing troubles, but added some debug messages showing the cache paths. I also tried including the cache files in a CLI script outside of eZ publish and I end up with the same problem. Using PHP 5.1.2 on Suse Linux.

With PHP4.4 it works fine.

I hope Derick or some other PHP guru will have some time to help us fixing this issue.

It seems like PHP 5.1.6 (I compiled it myself on Suse 10.1) does not display the cache files but parses them correctly.

Can somebody confirm the bug on other Linux systems with PHP 5.1.2?

I found what caused the cache bug. It happens when PHP is compiled with --enable-zend-multibyte and the mbstring extension is enabled. So it should work fine on other systems.

Good stuff. I was going to test it out on my PHP 5.1.2 setup but I hadn't quite got round to it yet.
