[Phpwiki-talk] broken php5 update ?

[Jerome W. <jer...@la...>]

Hello,

I'm trying to make phpwiki work out of CVS under php5 (I thought earlier
migration issues had been resolved)

the first problems I hit include:

1/ use of "static" functions not declared as static

lib\XmlElement.php:519: Fatal[2048]: Non-static method XmlContent::_quote=
()
should not be called statically

2/ "var" versus "public/private/protected"

lib\FileFinder.php:18: Fatal[2048]: var: Deprecated. Please use the
public/private/protected modifiers


is this normal ? should I specify some special ini directives in order fo=
r
it to work ?

I tried
ini_set('zend.ze1_compatibility_mode', '1');
but it did not work any better.

I am very interested in a working version of phpwiki under php5 and could
spare some time on it (I am trying to work only on php5 projects from now
on).

I know that you have already spent some time on the compatibility Reini a=
nd
have a few questions :
- what are the main remaining issues ?
- it seems hard to keep a dual version because of new language constructs=
=2E
should there be a 1.4 or 1.5 phpwiki branch dedicated to php5 or should
there be a generic patcher (like the php5_patch.php that used to exist ?)
- are there any architectural issue in the code that would need major
rewrites in order to port php4 to php5 ?

thank you for your help,
J=E9r=F4me
