WordPress and PHP
Still struggling to get a proper display of the Bootcamp 2007 blog using WP 2.8.2, two (!) new releases of WP has come out since I installed 2.8.2 – both security-related. Not that is would solve my problem, but I stilol think it wise to install the latest version – will be the second half of tjis week since I have other obligations on Monday and Tuesday…That will be version 2.8.4 – or perhaps an even newer one, when I’m ready to get to work on it…) though I very much doubt it is the solution to the problems.
PHP is another matter. Not a week after I issued a complained why it took so long to get at least the sources available on-line (to build a MySQL-5 engine), the patch was released – inclusing the sourcekit. (Purely by coincidence, no doubt, but it’s always nice to have at least some influence 🙂 )
I didn’t have time to play with it yest, except for installing it on a Personal Alpha and find indeed a new version (2.10 hould read as 2.1.0 ?) and being linked against MySQL 4.1 (which Mark Daniel seems to have left out). But now the sources are available, nothing stops me of rebuilding the engine.
Were it not that someone else (Mark Berryman) located another exclusion – not even documented as being excluded!: The SPL extension that is required for PHPMyAdmin (perhaps for a newer version that I have installed (2.8) but nevertheless, a miss, and filter extensions to prevent cross-site scripting. He has been able to rebuild PHP.EXE and PHPSHR.EXE, including MySQL 5.1. So I downloaded the kit and will test it to see what works – and what doesn’t. His set has PCRE (Perl Compatible Regular Expression) built-in so I need to disdable it in PHP.INI.
Something to test – as well. Perhaps it will solve the WordPress issue as well.
New tracks
I did have some time to upload some new Trips, Tracks and Travels content: Our last walk of the Pieterpad, and a variant of the Hanzepad. I also added the tracks of our trip to Italy this year.
So I’m getting back on track 🙂
