[RESOLVED] Has anyone here ever used PHProjekt?

[ppowell]

This has got to be the most confusing web app ever created by man! I can't seem to do literally anything with the downloaded and installed version on one of our servers except create users.

I am trying to figure out how to add an event onto the calendar; when I do, the entire web app completely dies (no HTML output of any kind).

Furthermore, the online demo is hopeless because the user "english" defaults to an Italian locale online demo instead!

I cannot add, delete, update any calendar events even as "root". And that's just the calendar; I am not able to even access any other part of PHProjekt!

Thanx

I've never used it but it doesn't sound good from what you've told us.

I would suggest modifying the scripts and set error reporting to ALL.

error_reporting(E_ALL);

You may have to search for error_reporting in the scripts incase they overwrite it themselves...

[ppowell]

doing error_reporting(E_ALL) strategically located at the spot at the application death occurring produced this:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare calendar_format_incomingtime() (previously declared in ./calendar.inc.php:21) in ..//calendar/calendar.inc.php on line 21

This fatal error only seems to occur in PHP version 4.4.1 whereas on an older system using PHP 4.3.9 this fatal error does not occur.

Sounds like it was written for php 3 perhaps? ....

[Weedpacket]

Sounds like an include or require should be made into include_once or require_once.

[ppowell]

That's just it, the line reads

include_once('./calendar.inc.php');

Look for all include statements. Seems they've tried to include it one too many times, or are trying to with a different path. You can pretty much remove the subsequent include(same_file_path) calls once one has been declared.

I would suggest commenting out the lines, rather than deleting (that way you can revert back if need-be).

Yep and I found it in the New Year!

calendar.php includes calendar.inc.php
calendar.php then will include calendar_data.php if an entry is to be added to the calendar
calendar_data.php includes calendar.inc.php - OOPS

Again, it's rather strange that in PHP 4.3.9 and below this is ok, even with include_once unsuppressed, whereas in newer versions of PHP this produces a fatal error; I would think it should always be a fatal error.

Which would you recommend:

1) I wrap the second "include" around a particular "if (!function_exists('some_function_that_should_be_found_in_calendar.inc.php')) {include_once('calendar.inc.php')}"

2) I wrap every function in calendar.inc.php around individual "if (!function_exists('this_function')) { function this_function() }"

I'd say the first option...

I did just that and it works and also reported the patch in the Bug Report to PHProjekt.

Good to hear.
