hi all,
new (mostly ) to squirrelmail.
attempting to install squirrelmail-cvs on:
SX 10.4.2
Apache/2.3.0-dev
php 5.1.0b3
after DL & config, nav to:
squirrelmail/index.php
redirects to
squirrelmail/src/login.php
where i get a blank screen & apache log error of:
[Sat Aug 20 10:03:01 2005] [error] [client 10.0.0.6] PHP Fatal error:
Cannot re-assign $this in
/ on line 47
googling, i find prior (related?) discussion on this
<>
but, as yet, no definitive solution.
b4 i start digging deeper what IS the current status of / support for
squirrelmail with PHP5?
comments/thoughts/fixes?
thanks!
richard

The login page does not load imap_mailbox, so there is something wrong
else where, unless you are missing a step out and are actually logging in

Looking at the source, it looks like it's not yet been resolved.

It works fine, if you're not using beta version of PHP, and you're using a
stable snapshot from what I can remember. The development branch has new
folder handling code in it, which is where your issue is arising. I will
try setting some time aside tomorrow to take a look at this, I have to try
upgrading one of my servers to a newer PHP, as I have 5.0.4 installed on
my dev box, and don't seem to have any issues with the stable branch, not
tested yet with the devel branch yet though.

hi jonathan,

thx 4 the reply =)

from what i've read, absolutely true.

i'm stuck w/ the latest php to resolve 'other' issues always a catch-22,
isn't it ?!

and you're using a

feel free to poke-n-prod me for any info i can help with

thx,

cheers,

richard

p.s. if i see any DIFFERENT behavior with php 510rc1, i'll report back here

I installed squirrelmail on a PHP5 server a few weeks back. Simply
commenting out that offending line seemed to fix it.

great to hear. which version of PHP, may i ask?

Simply commenting out that offending line seemed to fix it.

now don't get me wrong -- i'm a BIG fan of the DELETE key, but

can anyone verify that this does not break anything else?

sounds like Jonathan is going to take a closer look

cheers,

richard

hell - no problem. IIRC, I looked at the code, didn't see immediately
how to solve it, then simply commented it out to see what happened.
Suddenly everything worked, so I left it alone.

It's great that this is getting fixed. There are a few big projects out
there that are intentionally ignoring things like this. Pear, for
instance, refuse to fix some things that complain in PHP5 (using "var"
instead of "public", for instance). It's good that I can expect not to
need to hack the code again if I need to install on another machine.
