PHP5 does not work with pp1.4.2

PHP5 and Pixelpost 1.4.2 does not work (atleast not for me)

At first i just got a blank firstpage, the error.txt that is generated by php didn't show up yesterday so i didn't know what was wrong, today i found error.txt and it says

[15-Sep-2005 18:55:45] PHP Fatal error: Only variables can be passed by reference in index.php on line 797

I temporarily "fixed" it by uncommenting the whole "suck in addons" thing, just so i could actually see how pixelpost looked, but i still get the same error when pp tries to generate thumbnails.

lots of quotes sorry, maybe this should have been posted in the bug forum but i suspect i might have configured something wrong

1) read
http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=33643

2) some solution
modify the code in index.php 793-804 from

PHP Code:


		
			
$dir = "addons/";

if($handle = opendir($dir)) {

    while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {

        if($file != "." && $file != "..") {

            $ftype = strtolower(end(explode('.', $file)));

            if($ftype == "php") {

                include($dir.$file);

                }

            }

        }

    closedir($handle);

    }

PHP Code:


		
			
$dir = "addons/";

if($handle = opendir($dir)) {

    while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {

        if($file != "." && $file != "..") {

$file_exploded = explode('.', $file);

$file_ext = end($file_exploded);

            $ftype = strtolower($file_ext);

            if($ftype == "php") {

                include($dir.$file);

                }

            }

        }

    closedir($handle);

    }

and similary inside admin/index.php
change line 524 form

PHP Code:


		
			
$ftype = strtolower(end(explode('.', $file)));

PHP Code:


		
			
$file_exp = explode('.', $file);
$file_ext = end($file_exp);
$ftype = strtolower($file_ext);

@Dev
0) change this in CVS
1) move this to bugs forum.

again for create thumbs
inside includes/functions.php replace

PHP Code:


		
			
$ext = strtolower(end(explode('.', $image_path)));

with

PHP Code:


		
			
    $image_path_exp = explode('.', $image_path);
    $image_path_end = end($image_path_end);
    $ext = strtolower($image_path_end);

Thank you, that solved most of the problems. I still get undefined indexes but that's not important since the main functionality of the application is resolved. Again, thank you for helping :)

Try to turn of PHP notices in PHP.INI and problem will be solved :D

I am having a similar problem. I just upgraded to PHP 5.0.5.
When index.php loads it is blank. And the sources loos like:

I tried upgrading to Pixelpost 1.4.2 but this did not help.

After my upgrades I was getting the

Quote:

PHP Fatal error: Only variables can be passed by reference

error in admin/addons but I made the changes above and this problem is fixed.

All of my other php programs are working so I am not sure if this is a problem with my php upgrade or pixelpost.
php hasn't generated any errors from loading index.php so I do not have any to post.

Any help would be hugely appericated!

ramin you want this moved to the bugs forum?

I've just downgraded to the version of php that I was previously using and I am still haveing the same problem with a blank index.php page. Very strange.

Downgrading my php to 5.0.4 (what I was using) and then reverting to my backup of pixelpost before I upgraded it or made the mods above got me back online.
