Topic: PunBB and PHP5 experiences

Hi everybody,

I'm a member of a Bosnian Linux User Group and we use your forum for our visitors questions. So far, it's been a nice experience.
Now, we're wishing to update to PHP5 but we don't know if PunBB works with PHP5?

So, my question is if anybody here has tried PunBB with PHP5 and if you'd note down any experiences you had with it such as errors or bugs?

Thanks,
Cheers.

Re: PunBB and PHP5 experiences

I thought this forum was running on php5 though perhaps Rickard can confirm that.

Re: PunBB and PHP5 experiences

I want to upgrade my server to PHP5. So today I tried my punbb with WAMP 5. But while browsing the index.php i get the following error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in E:\My Files\Websites\Projanmo\forum\header.php on line 649

the 649 is the last line of header.php. 648 is:

define('PUN_HEADER', 1);

I have several mod installed.
1. punportal
2. pms
3. topic rating, user reputation
and etc.

where is the problem? thanks in advance

Re: PunBB and PHP5 experiences

649 lines in header.php? hmm
Sounds like the issue was with your modifications, not with PunBB or PHP 5. You'll need to paste your code.

Re: PunBB and PHP5 experiences

WAMP5 w. PHP 5 runs fine with me and multiple local copies of punBB.

To check your setup is OK, install a vanilla PunBB 1.2.15 into another directory on your WAMP server.

If that works, your mods are at fault with that particular PunBB instance you are working with...
