[Phpwiki-talk] Assertion failed errors on flatfile phpwiki

[Doyce T. <sm...@av...>]

Pertinent info:  I'm on a hosted account.  The server is running Linux, 
Apache version 1.3.29, PHP version 4.3.4, and I'm running flatfile dbm 
(the default config).  The wiki can be viewed at 
http://www.average-bear.com/wiki/

My problem: I'm consistently getting 'assertion failed' messages while 
using phpwiki.  Examples follow:

EXAMPLE 1
When saving a page I've been editing, I will often (not always) get an 
error message when I hit save: a page will display:

lib/WikiDB.php:787: Fatal[0]: <br 
/>/home/doyce/public_html/wiki/lib/WikiDB.php:787: : Assertion failed <br />

    * Note 1: this doesn't always happen -- usually I get this error 
when I save a page to which I've added a WikiWord.  The page DOES still 
save... if I refresh from the error message page, the 'reload' 
confirmation appears and the page loads correctly.

    * Note 2:  the <br /> bits in the error message are not a result of 
me Viewing the source of the page... they actually display that way on 
the page.  "View source" on this error message shows me that the page is 
specifically showing me the special html characters using ascii encoding.

EXAMPLE 2
The 'Diff' button on the bottom of each page fails intermittently (about 
as often as I get the error message in Example 1, above, but not on the 
same pages.  The error message (very similar to Example 1) reads:

lib/WikiDB.php:787: Fatal[0]: <br 
/>/home/doyce/public_html/wiki/lib/WikiDB.php:787: : Assertion failed <br />

EXAMPLE 3
On most of the pages on which Diff doesn't work, Page History also fails:

lib/WikiDB.php (In template 'browse') (In template 'body') (In template 
'html'):787: Fatal[0]: <br 
/>/home/doyce/public_html/wiki/lib/WikiDB.php:787: : Assertion failed <br />

EXAMPLE 4
The RecentChanges page simple doesn't work at all.  The error message 
reads: 

lib/WikiDB/backend/dumb/MostRecentIter.php (In template 'browse') (In 
template 'body') (In template 'html'):28: Fatal[0]: <br 
/>/home/doyce/public_html/wiki/lib/WikiDB/backend/dumb/MostRecentIter.php:28: 
: Assertion failed <br />

EXAMPLE 5
RecentEdits also doesn't work at all.  The error message is suspiciously 
similar to the RecentChanges message:

lib/WikiDB/backend/dumb/MostRecentIter.php (In template 'browse') (In 
template 'body') (In template 'html'):28: Fatal[0]: <br 
/>/home/doyce/public_html/wiki/lib/WikiDB/backend/dumb/MostRecentIter.php:28: 
: Assertion failed <br />

I realize that most of these errors are probably connected to one or two 
screw ups in configuration on my part, and I'm perfectly willing to work 
through whatever I need to do to fix them -- I'm very impressed with 
PHPWiki as a whole and I look forward to working with it extensively in 
the future, so any help on these issues would be much appreciated.  Thanks.
