#130 Setup and Usage NOT possible (0.5.3)

[Chris]

Greetings,
I would *really* love to use this. However, I am
not brilliant enough (yet) to correct an error in your
MySQL code. An error in config.php is as follows:

Warning: setlocale(): Passing locale category name as
string is deprecated. Use the LC_* -constants instead.
in config.php on line 193

I *hope* to figure this out, but would *really* love
it if you could post a solution.

Thank you for all your time and consideration in this
matter.

Sincerely,
Chris

What you pasted is not an error, just merely a warning,
doesn't have anything to do with MySQL, and should not
prevent you from using Thatware. You probably have something
somewhere that has the PHP error reporting on E_ALL.

See http://php.net/error_reporting

Indeed! I hadn't hadn't had much sleep (too much work).
Anyway,
the problem is *actually* due to the fact that the code is
not designed for *modern* versions of PHP.
So the solution is *quite* simple:
UNquote the LC_ string within the setlocale(): statement,
and problem solved. :)
There are still problems being able to login tho. :(
Will there be any updates? It would also appear that
Francisco Burzi - aka "PHPnuke", has stolen the code
for this - *line for line*. Is it true?!

Thanks again, and looking forward to another release.

Sincerely,
Chris

Yes, that is a fix. Thatware was originally written for PHP3.

It is conceivable to have a bugfix release, though I'm not
going to jump right on it. People submitting patches would
increase my incentive to update the source.

I have been known to spit on the name of Francisco Burzi.

OK, understood. I've been working on it for awhile now. I
have come a long way with it. I'd really like to move ahead
with this. I can send you diff's of course. On the other hand -
if for no other reason, to spite PHP-Puke, I'd like to ramp the
progress up on this. Bring it into the "lime light". I'm in the
DNS business and have *many* domains, but had a couple
in mind I think I'd like to get to host the project. Any
objection
to my emailing you about any of this?

Thanks again,
Chris

I now find myself spitting on the name of Francisco Burzi, as
well.
