5 4.0B6 + 4.0B7 OS depending setting of separator - ID: 1469869

Last Update: Settings changed ( andreas_lerch )

Details:

since 4.0B6 there is an OS depending setting of
separator :-( I am not the best in PHP but I am using
OS/2 - if it is: Operating System: OS Independent
(Written in an interpreted language)

you must look for an other solution - here is mine
includes\session.php after:

//-- append our 'includes/' path to the include_path
ini setting for ease of use.
$ini_include_path = ini_get('include_path');

may be at line 155 and following, then change the next
few lines to:

//-- OS depending settings - not real good - beginning
if (substr(PHP_OS, 0, 3) == 'WIN'){$separator = ';';}
else if (substr(PHP_OS, 0, 4) == 'OS/2'){$separator = ';';}
else {$separator = ':';}
$includes_dir = dirname(realpath(__FILE__));
//-- OS depending settings - not real good - ending

I am very happy about PhpGedView - it is a greate
solution for a small - individual - problem - you all
do a very best job

I thank you very much

Date: 2006-04-19 03:20:38 PDT Sender: canajun2eh Logged In: YES user_id=1198414 I have made the necessary changes to Future Branch CVS (4.0 beta8). The attached ZIP file contains "session.php" and "PEAR.php" from Future Branch CVS. Unpack the ZIP file, and copy both files to the "includes" directory on your server.

Date: 2006-04-17 07:52:53 PDT Sender: andreas_lerch Logged In: YES user_id=1463003 on OS/2 the Apache server, and dependant files, must be stored on HPFS, which is based on ISO codepages with long file names. At my computer it is the CHCP 850. It can also be stored on a JFS file system, which is based on UNICODE. But my knowlage is not deep enough to answer all your questions. The HPFS file system is like NTFS :-) but it stores UTF-8 with the same characters that where used inside the GED files, ASCII. I have no problem with the implementet solution. thank you very very much for your help - einen schoenen Tag Andreas Lerch
Date: 2006-04-13 09:29:55 PDT Sender: canajun2eh Logged In: YES user_id=1198414 Andreas: Thank you. This will be added. Can you tell me whether the OS/2 file system uses the ISO character set to store file names? Windows Server does, and Linux/Unix/Xenix/... use UTF-8. This difference causes problems when file names contain non-English characters such as ä, ö, and ü. PGV has a translation routine that ensures that the operating system's file system sees file and directory names in the correct character set, and that PGV sees the correct character set when the operating system delivers a file or directory name. We need to know whether this translation needs to be engaged for OS/2.
