I'm trying to upload my first gedcom file which I created with LifeLines. When I try to import it, I get this:
GEDCOM_FILE: ./index/andersen.ged
FILE: andersen.ged
TITLE: Genealogy from andersen.ged
Importing Records into Database
PLEASE BE PATIENT
Reading Gedcom File ./index/andersen.ged
Flushing contents
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: utf8_decode() in /var/www/html/phpGedView/functions_index.php on line 368

Hello Steve,
The error undefined function would mean that your PHP does not support this function. As it is an internal function of PHP and not one created by John.
Checking php.net it tells me that this function is supported by PHP 3>= 3.0.6, PHP 4. Which version are you running?
You might try importing the gedcom by UNchecking the line:
Convert this ANSI (ISO-8859-1) encoded GEDCOM to UTF-8?
Which is right above the import button.
Regards,
Roland

Any thoughts on what the problem is? LIne 368 is:
fwrite($gdfp,utf8_decode("individual.php?pid=$gid|$surname|$nametag|$birthdate|$birthplace|$deathdate|$deathplace|\r\n"));
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Steve

Fixed by adding PHP XML support. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
