[Phpwiki-talk] Problem with PHP 4.2.3?

[Martin G. <gim...@gi...>]

Hi everybody

My provider upgraded to PHP 4.2.3 some time ago, and that broke
PhpWiki with errors like this:

lib/FileFinder.php:161: Warning[2]: SAFE MODE Restriction in effect.
The script whose uid is 1332 is not allowed to access
/usr/local/lib/php owned by uid 0

Line 161 corresponded to the 'elseif (file_exists("$dir/$file"))' line
in _search() in FileFinder.php. I've now "solved" the problem my
putting a '@' in front of the file_exists() call to suppress the
warnings.

The strange thing is, that I dont' get these warnings on my local
server (running PHP 4.2.3 in Safe Mode)...

I also don't understand why it's necessary for PhpWiki to search for
PEAR files - doesn't PhpWiki provide it's own? Or is it done in the
hope that a newer version is installed on the server?

Oh, and then there was this little thing in stdlib.php where $i goes
beyond the end of the array:
