Search for issues gives error

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: html_entity_decode() in /var/www/html/projectbench/bugtracking/bugsearch.php on line 104

I believe the above function was not introduced until php 4.3.0, I'm running PHP 4.2.2.  Could it fail more softly perhaps, or check php version before calling it?

thx,

Gary,

I'm sorry for the error you have been experienced. I was not aware that function only came up in 4.3.0. I will try to provide a fix for it in the next version.

Thanks.

I would not mind submitting a patch for this but I don't know enough PHP.  Should I just say if (php_version >= 4.3.0) ... and if so is there an API for getting the current php version?  Or does php have an exception mechanism so I can just put the html_entity_decode() in a try/except block?

Thanks for any hints

okay, here's what I found just googling around.

1. modify config.inc to include the following line:
require_once($CFG->path .'/workaround.inc.php');
...preferably right before:
require_once($CFG->path .'/coreconfig.php');

2. download the following file:
http://savannah.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/phpgroupware/api/Attic/workaround.inc.php?rev=1.1.2.1&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup
(click on the download link)
and put it into your projectbench folder. make sure you keep the same name: workaround.inc.php

3. Let me know if it worked :))

Thanks!

Thanks.
Make sure you use the latest CVS if working on PHP5. It's got (some) PHP5 fixes that I haven't released yet.

Thanks!

Thanks Philip -- we ended up replacing the ProjectBench machine with a new Fedora Core 3 one that has PHP5, so I don't need this anymore (so I'm sorry I didn't try the fix).
