Fixed them. Somehow the FUDforum/forum/include/GLOBALS.php had the same problem. Fixed it and the issues went away with the search and compacting.

Not fixed. The GLOBALS.php keeps reverting back to not having the ?> in it.

I'm confused....

Ok, 1st of all make sure that GLOBALS.php inside forum's root dir & adm/ dir are indeed symlinks to the GLOBALS.php inside the include/ directory and not copies. Then edit your GLOBALS.php for the final time ensuring that the file GLOBALS.php does include core.inc

AH HA!! I know what's causing the error in my case. When I run a Forum Consistency, it's re-writing my GLOBALS.php and wiping out my manual addition of the ?>.

Also, I seem to be your problem child today...hehehe I have an issue with the PDF "publication" thing. Error message is.....

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: std_error() in /www/html/neutron.intranet.net/FUDforum2/pdf.php on line 812

Doesn't look like it. I can't seem to find location of the .so module to add to the extension= section.

It is likely that the distro you are using did not provide you with such a .so file, so if you want to use that feature you'll need to compile ext/pdf manually.

Installed and moved libpdf_php.so to the appropriate directory, and enabled it in php.ini, and get the following error...

Found the cause for the PHP error, the file was missing an include.
Replace pdf.php.t with the one attached and recompile the theme.

Is this an error with the php doc or the PDFlib?

Hmm... which version of pdflib are you using? I am using version 5.0 and have not encountered this error. The php manual also does not indicate that this function should not be avaliable under certain conditions.

Downloaded version 5.0 from the pdflib website. Copied the pdflib_php.so file to the directory where my other .so files for PHP are and added the extension= to the php.ini file.

One thing I did notice is that it was for PHP 4.2.1 and I am running 4.2.3. They didn't have one for 4.2.3.

Hmm you've used their library, that may explain the problem, I had actually compiled ext/pdf from scatch.

You can try using the attached pdf.php.t, I've replaced the function in question with an alternate one.

That's a strange error, it implies that font loading failed, but I see no error to indicate that had happened in your report.

I would recommend to compile manually the ext/pdf extension and not use the pre-compiled binaries part of the pdflib distro.

Ok. Did you use the PDFlite version of the PDFlib? It looks like the only one with source available, according to the web site.

It's not going to let me rebuild it unless I completely rebuild PHP too. I guess I will just do without PDF support. Because I don't want to go through the hassle of rebuilding PHP too.

Actually not quite right, if you

--with-pdflib=/usr/local,so

it'll build you a shared module.

I'll work on that today and tell you how it goes. The problem I see is people aren't going to want to muck about with their PHP installations if they have DSO already compiled into their PHP. Especially when there are already PHP PDFLib modules already "precompiled". That's one of the nice things about FUDForum is you configure and go. Alot of people are using the default PHP/Apache compilations that come with their distro. In most cases PHP is already compiled with DSO support. If they're being hosted by another company, they might not have access to recompile PHP.

Well, I am not sure why the module you are using does not work, generally the .so modules that people have are the ones that were compiled by their distro or ISP during php install and those tend to work fine. The .so from lib maintainers I've never used and considering the .so is technically for another version of PHP problems are to be expected.

According to the PDFlib people the 4.2.1 version of the .so module is specifically designed for use with PHP 4.2.1 through 4.3.1. I am running 4.2.3.

I spent some time exchanging e-mails with them yesterday to see if they had any ideas.

That could very well be the source of the problem, plus given the undefined error you got, I suspect the source code they are using to compile the extension maybe different from the one in ext/pdf.

I have the devel package for PHP installed on my system, but I will be damned if I can find the location of the configure file to re-compile it.
