#161 Not quite PHP 5.4+ compatible - no sqlite2 support

[Chris Hiestand]

PHPWiki (1.5.0) is not PHP5.4+ compatible if your backend was sqlite (version 2) because version 2 compatibility was removed in php5.4. It seems that PHPWiki does not support sqlite3 so that leave anyone using version 2 stuck without an obvious migration path.

Any suggestions?

for search engine indexing, the error that the user sees is:
PhpWiki Warning: (256, Can't connect to database: WikiDB_backend_PearDB_sqlite: fatal database error DB Error: extension not found ( [DB Error: extension not found] ...

Hello,

PhpWiki 1.5.0 was mostly tested with MySQL and PostgreSQL. There are many backends and themes to test.

I will check the sqlite3 backend.

What you can do is to export all pages with the history:
PhpWikiAdministration?action=zip&include=all

then install a new instance with e.g. MySQL and import the ZIP dump.

Hope this helps.

Best regards

Thanks. The export and import is a functional workaround.

As an aside, I had to make a few modifications to the 1.5.0 source code in order to not trigger any php errors. If it were easy, I'd like to share my modifications back to you, however I don't see a way to do a "pull request" like on github.

Hello,

Thank you for your input.
You can sent your patches in phpwiki-patches mailing list (either patch files or complete files).
I will apply them in Subversion.

Best regards,

Marc-Etienne Vargenau
