WordPress & PHP 5

Well, so much for trying to format my post … just look at this instead:

Thanks. But the patch is not the solution. I work with PHP 5.0.1 and WordPress 1.2 (or WordPress 1.3 RC3).

After I posted this, I found that I needed to comment out the “if (function_exists…” segment as well in order to be able to log in.
That was required with PHP 5.0.2 and WP 1.3-alpha-3 (latest CVS), as well as WP 1.2.
Does that work, lilli?

Thanks for helping! I do not understand your first sentence. Could I get your wp-login.php file? sorry, I’ m a beginner…
Thanks!!!

Lilli,
You can copy and paste what’s here:
https://www.killersoft.com/wordpress/wp-login.phps
… into your wp-login.php file, and that should do the trick.

Thanks, Clay. It does not works with this wp-login.php file. My provider works with php 5.0.1 (and WP 1.3-alpha-3, latest CVS).
Thank you, lilli

The latest nightly should address the PHP 5 issue. If you were having trouble before, please try it out and let me know.

The message is:
Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_RETURN in /wp-includes/functions.php on line 1488
(PHP 5.01, WordPress 1.3; 2004/10/4)

…same error for me:
(PHP 5.02, WordPress 1.3; 2004/10/4)

I am using PHP 5.0.2 with Apache 1.3.31 on Panther. I installed nightly build 2004-10-4, and I am not experiencing any problems, either. Installation, which was previously impossible, is now a breeze, and I can login as admin and do as I wish.

Fantastic. ??

Ok. One thing does not work. The Dashboard fails to load in the admin pages. Clicking it brings me back to the “write” page. PHP 5.0.2, Apache 1.3.31, Panther.5 P

Yeah that’s not a bug, the dashboard just hasn’t been done yet. That’s why we call it an alpha. ??

Geesh, this bug has been going on so long that it’s really a bit of a disappointement that nobody seems to have nailed it.
The problem in PHP5 seems to have something to do with the redirects (at least in my case). Every place where WP tried to set the header to redirect the browser is where . . . it doesn’t work. That’s why none of the login stuff works for anybody. You login, you hit the login script which auth’s you and then it tries to redirect you to the admin page. Go check out anyplace where WP tries to set the header and it breaks. Funny thing though, if you telnet to port 80 and request the same page, the redirect works!!!! Now, one of the only logical reasons for this to happen is if something else already sent a header and this second header is being ignored by the browser (thus the blank screen instead of an error page).
I would have fixed this and posted the code but the last time I attempted to point out problems in the WP code I was told that if I don’t like the ways things are I should just go build my own.

I really need to fix this problem with my two blogs. Can someone explain what “nightly builds” are and how I install? Webhost server is using Apache 1.3.31 and PHP 5. something. An anonymous poster said that nightly build 2004-10-4 fixed the problem for him, but I have NO friggin’ idea what that means!!
