[Phpwiki-talk] Odd Behavior

[Jim B. <be...@co...>]

We have been experiencing some odd behavior that I am trying to 
address.  We have version 1.3.10 running currently, and php version 
4.3.9.  We have a set of wiki pages that have been around for quite a 
while.  They have run in the past on 1.3.7 and possibly 1.2.5.  
Currently, when the pages are edited, the results come out mangled.  
Often times the main content of the page will be repeated 2 to 4 times 
and the content is all mangled together.  For example, A large table 
suddenly has 4 times as many rows as before and several sets of rows 
repeat in the page.  This is preventing us from editing any of our 
pages and thus not allowing us to really use the wiki.  Has anyone seen 
this before or does anyone have any advice?  I hate to lose all our 
wiki data and have to switch to a different piece of software in the 
future....

I heard of such behaviour only with php5.
Where is the url, so that I can have a check?

The wiki is hosted on our Intra-net and contains proprietary 
information that our developers and and other employees use.  At first 
this issue was noticed mainly on our main page which uses an old style 
table, and is quite large.  However this issue happens on all of our 
pages.  Therefore I do not believe it is any longer an issue with the 
table.  If this issue cannot be resolved we will need to use a 
different wiki.  My main concern at this point is being able to 
transfer the content.  Is anyone aware of another wiki which will 
import our pages?  A solution would also be ideal...

I just observed this issue again using a virgin wiki page set.  This is 
hosted on a RedHat 9.0 system with php 4.3.9 and phpwiki 1.3.10.  I 
thought our page db might have become corrupted, thus causing the 
problem.  However now I see that this is occurring without regard to 
the page set.  No clue what might be causing this...

For php5 and current CVS HEAD a fix is pending.
It worked on 1.3.10 though.

Data restauration:
=> PhpWikiAdministration => Backup & Restore
will dump to mimified plain text files.
without the header you should be able to import it into any wiki,
but we (the InterWikiExchangeFormat group) haven't found a common 
InterWikiExchangeFormat solution yet.
