Topic: Integration, common.php is [helping me debug!] my application.
[Edit: scroll down to further posts for a good laugh

I have a (currently) file-based CMS which really does not like PunBB's common.php and I'm stumped at the result. Without posting the entire source, here are some errors and the relevant lines:
I bring PunBB in during system setup, either in bootstrap.inc.php or init.inc.php. In either case, the require_once() occurs while other similar work is being done, no output has generated, and no header has been sent to client. It looks like this:
/**
* PunBB.
*/
define('FORUM_ROOT', HONEST_APP.'..'.DS.'..'.DS.'subdomain_html'.DS.'forum'.DS);
require_once(HONEST_APP.'..'.DS.'..'.DS.'subdomain_html'.DS.'forum'.DS.'include'.DS.'common.php');Then without fail, and consistently regardless of where I bring PunBB in, I get plenty of errors in an otherwise working system:
[Tue Dec 16 22:26:26 2008] [error] [client <snip>] PHP Notice: Undefined variable: require in <snip>/toolbox/honest/bootstrap.inc.php on line 52That is $require inside a function, erroneously returning undefined in:
function requireOther($name) {
$available = array(
'smarty' => 'smarty'.DS.'libs'.DS.'Smarty.class.php',
);
if (!empty($available[$name])) $require = TOOLBOX_PHP.$available[$name];
if (!is_file($require)) $require = TOOLBOX_PHP.$name.'.inc.php';
if (!is_file($require)) $require = TOOLBOX_PHP.$name.'.php';
if (is_file($require)) return require_once($require);
}Off-hand I see an improvement to make in that function, but ignoring that, it now gets worse; look at this:
[Tue Dec 16 22:26:26 2008] [error] [client <snip>] PHP Notice: Use of undefined constant breadcrumbs - assumed 'breadcrumbs' in <snip>/toolbox/honest/init.inc.php on line 507That is a case name inside a switch() being parsed as a constant!
if (is_array($core->getConf('document','print_order'))) {
foreach ($core->getConf('document','print_order') as $i => $v) {
switch ($i) {
case breadcrumbs:
$markup->printCrumbs();
break;
case account:
$markup->makeLogin();
break;
case motd:
$markup->printMOTD();
break;
case page:
$markup->printPage($page_data);
break;
case index:
$markup->printIndex();
break;
}
}
}I have to assume that somewhere in the trail of files PunBB is including, there is a typo/bug that is thoroughly breaking my order of operations; but I don't know the code well enough to see it yet, and I can't be sure that's accurate. Any ideas on what the hell is happening here?
