Re: bugs under PHP 5
i can run it under php5 fine
Re: bugs under PHP 5
Most of the recent development was done on a server running php5 and I think this board is running on php5. I'm running test rigs on a local windows server and a remote server both running php5 so you have some other problem.
Re: bugs under PHP 5
I run one on PHP5 (Win32) and one on PHP 4.3.10 (Linux) with no problems.
Re: bugs under PHP 5
As a few people have already pointed out, PunBB works just fine in PHP5. This forum is running PHP 5.0.3 and I do all my development on PHP5 as well.

XAMPP 1.4.9a SimplyMEPIS Debian and on PHP5 (5.0.2) it doesn't work, on PHP 4 (4.3.9) works

Re: bugs under PHP 5
Then there's some kind of problem with that particular package. People have been running PunBB with PHP5 for some time now.

Are you using mysql or mysqli?
Re: bugs under PHP 5
I had problems compiling PHP 5.0.2. Why not try upgrading to PHP 5.0.3 instead? My installation of PunBB works perfectly fine on the latter version.
Re: bugs under PHP 5
since php 5 is still in dev, it would be wise to expect odd errors from version to version.

Re: bugs under PHP 5
what error do you get? and if its not on turn on debug mode and paste output
Re: bugs under PHP 5
Just installed XAMPP 1.4.11 on a Windows XP box and PunBB is working perfectly with php 5. Either this problem is specific to XAMPP on Linux (unlikely) or is a user specific problem (likely).

Re: bugs under PHP 5
Ah, that's good to know. I wonder if anyone will take over the mmcache project. In it's current state it's more or less abandoned and no one seems to know enough about it in order to take over the project. I think APC might turn out well though. I know one of the PHP devs is working on PHP5 compability.
