#34 After Installing executing make_config.php just shows blank

[Craig Drummond]

I downloaded and installed the code into the /Weather
directory. I am able to open the index.php file and have
the weather displayed. However when I try to follow
the directions in the manual it says the first step is to
create a new default.php by using the make_config.php
page.

When I attempt to open the page I get a blank screen.

I have the same problem. The error is thrown when trying to
access $HTTP_SESSION_VARS[$option] as an object.

In make_config.php there is a line liek this in a for loop:
$HTTP_SESSION_VARS[$option]->update_value
($HTTP_POST_VARS);

And the error given is:
PHP Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object
in ...

Try a different browser. I was getting an error with safari on Mac OS X when I tried to load config/make_config.php. Safari puts an item in the http environment that looks something like this:

HTTP_COOKIE=prefs=show_changed&on&show_diff&&select_diff&&user_name&JohnDoe

I guess the loop over the $HTTP_SESSION_VARS chokes on the &'s in this variable. I see that php4 uses '&' for references.

I visited the page with firefox and it loaded with no problems.

apache 1.3.33-2 on debian
kernel 2.6.9

Here is a patch which seems to fix the problem for me:

--- make_config.php 2005-01-19 15:45:19.000000000 -0600

$keys = array_keys($HTTP_SESSION_VARS);
foreach ($keys as $option) {
+ $option = str_replace("\&","&", $option);
$HTTP_SESSION_VARS[$option]->update_value($HTTP_POST_VARS);
}

I can now visit make_config.php with safari (OS X version 10.3.7) and it works.

Is this still a problem?
