PHP 5.3 - Blank Screens

Hi,

First off, i've been using PP for a couple of months now and it's a fantastic bit of kit.

Now then. I'm running ProjectPier 0.8.5.0 on RHEL 3, Apache 2.2.11 and so far everything has been fine.

However, I recently upgraded our PHP version from 5.2.6 to 5.3 and it's all gone horribly wrong.

Whenever any form is posted (sitewide);

1)A blank screen is returned
2)Going back in the browser and resubmitting returns PP errors, along the lines of "Data is not unique", as the data has already been sucesfully submitted/inserted.
3) No errors in Apache logs

I've added request_order flag to php.ini but no joy.

Any ideas anyone?

Kind regards

Looks like I used a rather sweeping statement in my initial post.

The blank screen issue is only apparent when there is a mailing action involved, e.g. Selecting the mail user options when adding a new message.

Updated Swift Mailer

Well, the swift mailer PP is using is version 2.1.17 (from 2006), the current version is 4.0.4. Could you try upgrading and testing it? If you report that it works then I'll include it in the next 0.8.5 beta release.

Thanks for the swift reply (no pun intended) Jon.

I'll get that update installed and report back.

Installed Swift 4.04

Swift update installed, but the function for sending mails will have to be updated in (Classes, functions and loading pattern have changed since Swift v.3) ;

~application/models/notifier/Notifier.class.php

At the moment, I haven't got the time at work, but i don't mind doing it in my spare time if required?

P.S. Can this post be moved to the Development -> Santa Monica 0.8.5.x Beta Testing forum please?

PHP or SMTP?

Daz,

Are you using PHP or SMTP for mailing? This is an option in the Administration section.

Thanks,
Jon

PHP 5.3... more testing needed!

I just installed XAMPP 1.7.2 which includes php 5.3.0. I can't even get to the first screen of the installer. Clearly something has changed with the 'realpath' function, but I haven't had time to sort it out yet.

**Update-Actually, this was a 'bug' in PHP, or at least it had to do with Apache configuration. When apache is configured with an alias, realpath returns a null as reported here: http://www.mail-archive.com/php-bugs@lists.php.net/msg119492.html
At least I've got the installer working now. More testing coming soon.
