PHP 5.2.0 Compatibility

    Hi everyone…

    I’ve upgraded my WordPress install to 2.0.5 a few days ago and all was working great with PHP 5.1.6.

    However, last night I upgraded to PHP 5.2.0 and today I am unable to upload files via Windows Live Writer via xmlrpc access. Everything else seems to work fine so far as I can tell.

    Is anyone else having this problem? If so, is there a resolution, or is this something that will be resolved in the future? For now, I’ve rolled back to 5.1.6 until further notice.

    Thanks!

    Hi Aaron – I don’t know for sure, not being an IT spec…. but my host provider is waiting out a few weeks before upgrading to php 5.2.0 simply because of issues like this. So I’m assuming that it WILL get fixed…. eventually.

    Any updates or progress on this?

    Not from my end – NR is still using 5.2 on a testing server only for now.

    I’ve just noticed that my post.php page doesn’t load since my (shared) host upgraded to 5.2.0 – so there may be more problems than only the one that started this thread. I’ve reverted to php4, and all works fine again.

    My host upgraded to PHP 5.2 and it hosed my blog (both WP 2.0.4 and 2.0.5). The index page was fine, but individual posts wouldn’t load (via permalinks or comment links). As soon as they put me back on a pre-5.2 server everything went back to normal.

    Its not just WordPress – a whole load of stuff just stops working – It lasted on my server about 10 mins.

    I’m going to have a look at the docs and see if there is some sort of switch to make it backwards compatible.

    Hi.

    I am having the same problem using some plugins. Turning them of everything seems to be normal. Changing the status of the php extensions into

    PHP4 -> phtml php4 php3 php /
    PHP5 -> php5

    did not help. Has somebody any experience throughout the last two month?

    would be very happy! cheers, felix.

    Same with me as Hardmood….
    But I only have troubles with the geo plugin… all others work fine….

    Would be great if anyone could help us ?? Thanks a lot in advance!

    I mailed to Dylan (https://www.cyberhobo.net) – the programmer of the geomashup plugin and he was kind enough to help me out -> I still don’t know what he did but when I find out I’ll post it!

    cheers, Felix.

    Many Issues with PHP 5.2 and WordPress are related to the new php that works pretty bad with system pcre library. Instead of fixing this, the php dev team just says “please, use embeded version…” they think that this is a good fix but its really just duct taping things together. Php needs to be rebuilt, it should use embeded pcre library instead of system one during compiling. If you need some professional help with this duct tape, contact yourserveradmin.com
