#246 PHP-5 stripos() in 1.3.2 which claims to be 4.x comp.

[p_oberg]

The function stripos is used in linpha v 1.3.2 which claims to be PHP-4 compatible but stripos is a PHP-5 function which does not exist in PHP-4.

Trigging the error:
Thumbnails EXIF/IPTC->(choose create on all 3)->Start
Error message:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: stripos() in /srv/www/htdocs/linpha/functions/db_api.php on line 1245

System: SuSE 9.2 with PHP 4.3.8 Apache/2.0.50 mysql Ver 12.22 Distrib 4.0.21
(I know, I should rheeeaaaaaly upgrade but I'm rebuilding my hose and simply does not have the time just now, and I'm only using it interally in my home so it never sees the daylight.)

I managed to fix it temporarily by adding the attached patch.
I used: patch db_api.php < patch.txt

However, I'm unsure if the function i pasted does the same as the real stripos. The code in the patch is publicly available at http://se2.php.net/stripos and seems to be suggested by the user "michiel at mb-it dot nl"

File Added: patch.txt

Hey dr_oberg,

thanks for the patch, but it's already fixed by Vytautas in CVS so that LinPHA is compatible with PHP4 >= 4.1.0 again. It was accidentally commited to CVS ;-) However, I will leave this report open until next release so that it's not reported over and over again...
So - solution is to replace db_api.php with the one from current CVS.

Thanks!

cheers bzrudi
