WordPress & PHP 5

Podz, where can I find the 1.3 version?

Up the top – Downloads, scroll down for a Nightly build.
It’s not rec’d for a production blog though, and it *is* a nightly…

I’ve just try to install the build of Aug. 10, 2004, but failed to log in. Actually login page doesn’t load at all, as it did when i tried it before with previous builds and 1.2 version. Sorry to say, but even the latest build doesn’t work for me ??

What are your hosting details ?
Repeated problems could indicate that is where the issue lies.

podz, can you jump to irc?

There now ??

the above entry said that php >5.0.0 works ok with wordpress 1.2, but i tried using php 5.0.1 (release) but the same wp-login.php bug is there (apache(php?) returned nothing), so i can’t log in to wp. the page rendered ok. switched back to php4, logged in and switched back to php5 while i was still logged in. the functions inside wp(admin etc) worked ok, but once i log out, i can’t log back in (wp-login.php returned nothing). so now i’m back to php4. any ideas/hacks/patch?

For users not familiar with regex, PHP5 has case insensitive str_replace(), under the function str_ireplace(). And PHP5 is faster than PHP4; a friend of mine ran his message filtering program on both and PHP5 turned out 23% faster.

Tried latest build of 2004-08-17 under PHP 5.0.1 and the same problems occur. Login page doesn’t load at all.. :/

I’d like to chime in here and note that I believe I’ve been hitting this same issue with a nightly build (8/17) of WordPress on top of apachefriends.org XAMPP 1.4.6 (w/ PHP 5.0.1).
Details: I get an Apache2 access violation when attempting to log in to WordPress as admin (tested on three different machines, one WinNT, two WinXP). The actual WP install goes smoothly up to that point.
Using the XAMPP php-switch.bat to revert to PHP 4 appears to solve the problem.
An odd thing is that I can bring up the WP blog home page, make comments, and so forth — it’s just when I attempt to log in that the access violation hits.

My two cents on the PHP5.0.x issue to compliment that of Craig.
I have been running without any problems a WP-CVS-Build from 2K40804 (1.3.x).
My server environment has been based on the XAMPP 1.4.5 build for Windows-XP. This configuration included PHP 5.0.
Due to a desire to get Mambo running ysterday, I found myself needing to upgrade to PHP5.0.1 (currently without success on Mambo but that is another story).
To get to PHP 5.0.1, I upgraded to XAMPP 1.4.6 which includes:
Apache HTTPD 2.0.50, MySQL 4.0.20, PHP 5.0.1 + 4.3.8 + PEAR + Switch, MiniPerl 5.8.3, mod_php 4.3.7, mod_ssl 2.0.49, Openssl 0.9.7d, PHPMyAdmin 2.5.7, Webalizer 2.01-10, Mercury Mail Transport System f??r Win32 und NetWare Systems v4.01a, FileZilla FTP Server 0.9.1, SQLite 3.0.4, ADODB 4.04, Zend Optimizer 2.5.3. For Windows 98, 2000, XP.
Now on this new server infrastructure I am experiencing similar “sporadic” login issues as described above by other forum contributors.
One thing I wish to add is that (and I am not sure if it matters), the new XAMPP code base has deactivated the Zend Optimizer. If anyone thinks this should be activated please let know…

On Windows XP Pro, IIS 5.1 with WordPress 1.2 locally in my laptop web root.
I had tons of problems getting php5/MySQL/WP to work. So many reports have you just check phpinfo(); to see if it is working after an install – No problem great I’m good to go! I test a simple page using MySQL – awesome no problems! But once I ran something with more complex (WordPress) it all goes to hell. I’m not pointing fingers I don’t know where the bug lies, PHP, IIS, MySQL, WP???
I will try to do this by mememry I hope I remeber all the salient details but don’t bet on it. Istarted with a PHP 5.0.1 manual install as an ISAPI, but eventually had to evert to PHP 4.3.8 CGI… read on.
I had a full Gamut of problems mentioned on these boards
1) Installing WP 1.2 can’ t find the DB – maybe I missed this instruction somewhere but I had Create the DB (used MySQL Control Center) . Great now it finds DB but it won’t make tables!
2) People on this borad suggested installing .72 Gold to make the tables then up grading, and indeed .72 does indeed make the tables.
3) Upgrading .72 to 1.2 worked sorta ok, I needed to comment out a section of code in the upgrade functions that turns the passwords into a MD5 hash, I just couldn’t get it to work even with the extension installed. But OK now I can see the WP index.php!
4) Trying to login in my generated password and I get either a blank page. Some people are recommending running as CGI so tweak my settings to run PHP5 as CGI instead of ISIAPI.
5) Now I get CGI time out errors and the more famous “The specified CGI application misbehaved” crash(https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=25863&thanks=3). Bummer I can see the home page, I can even create a user and post a comment, but I can login as the admin. Oh around this time I went directly into the options Table and changed example.com into localhost so these awakward redirects would stop.
6) So there are all kinds if suggestions all over the net on fixing this and basically none of them worked for me. things like turning of Zend Optimzation in the 5.0.1 PHP ini but I didn’t even have that setting! So I bit the bullet and did the one workaround I had been avoiding, that was installing PHP4.3.8 instead.
7) Installed PHP 4.3.8 as a CGI and BINGO WordPress .72 -> 1.2 is Admin login is now working!
Brew another pot, Format C:\, send Bill G some hate mail, start over, repeat…
Good luck.

since when did chinese became the official language around here?

Allow me to add my voice to those of people who are having trouble with WordPress and PHP 5. I’m running RedHat 9.0, Apache 2.0.50, PHP 5.0.1, and WordPress 1.3a nightly 9/13/04. Wp-login.php blows up every time. Who is taking responsibility for this bug? Do I have to make a case to the PHP people that the bug is theirs?
I can’t switch back to PHP 4; my host is relying on PHP 5. So, I’m stuck.
