PHP5 does not work with pp1.4.2

[Belgarion]

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.

[16-Sep-2005 08:17:07] PHP Notice: Use of undefined constant IMAGE_BASE - assumed 'IMAGE_BASE' in pixelpost\includes\functions.php on line 51
[16-Sep-2005 08:17:07] PHP Fatal error: Only variables can be passed by reference in pixelpost\includes\functions.php on line 54

Also the addons page is empty

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);
    } 


to

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))); 


to

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.

[raminia+]

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

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:

<html><body></body></html>

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

After my upgrades I was getting the

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.
