[Phpwiki-talk] Problem with preg_match()

[mickey <mi...@il...>]

I can't install phpwiki on my site because "preg_match()" is not implemented. I'm on altern.org (in France)
So, a friend (who knows how to modify softwares, not like me ;o)) told me that functions like preg_match() and preg_match_all() could be replaced by ereg_replace() and "regular expressions".

Is there an expert on the mailing list who tried to do that ? Or is there an old version of wiki whit these "regular expressions", or another script (not as good as phpwiki) working on my (old  fashioned ?) site ?

Thanks a lot

mickey

The error message was (on my site) :

Fatal error: Call to unsupported or undefined function preg_match() in wiki_config.php3 on line 23

Hi Mickey!

No, there aren't any older versions that don't use preg() functions. It
would be *really hard* to rewrite preg() function calls to ereg() function
calls, about as hard as copying a dictionary with typewriter instead of a
photocopier.

Unfortunately I don't think we can help you here.. you need to upgrade
your version of PHP. I really don't want to say that, but we just cannot
support sites without preg().

Good luck,
Steve

[Phpwiki-talk] Cannot set environment variable 'LANG'

[Pablo R. R. <pr...@cl...>]

Hi,

Without doing nothing I get this error:

"Warning: Safe Mode: Cannot set environment variable 'LANG' - it's not in
the allowed list in /home/user/p/r/o/proca/www/lib/config.php on line 140"

and in config php line 140 the code is:

  putenv ("LANG=$LANG");

I use the default lang C , I think this is a ISP issue nd I asked him for
this error, but till now no replies.

you can see this at:

http://proca.nexen.net/phpwiki.php

But the phpwiki works well, .... I think. :)

Now some questions:

1. What is supposed to be this LANG set? Just for installing?
2. What will happen if I comment this line?
 ???

Thanks,

Yes. This is a normal ISP issue. Your ISP has set PHP in safe
mode. This means that you can't store environment variables that
doesn't begin with the prefix stored in the variable
safe_mode_allowed_env_vars in the php configuration file (/etc/php.ini
on my RedHat system). That prefix is usually PHP_

The LANG environment variable is used when you want translations of
PhpWiki.
