From refbase
PHP won't parse refbase scripts
I'm having another little problem : the refbase php pages are not interpreted by PHP but displayed as they were text pages. If I put a phpinfo.php file in the same folder with This : <? phpinfo.php ; ?> , everything works fine. (And all my others PHP pages on the server are OK too).
It seems to be a problem with the character coding ... gEdit cannot open the files as well, it doesn't recognize the character encoding. But vi opens them.
I'm using refbase 0.8, a fresh install of Ubuntu 5.10 and WAMPP.
Thank you !
Hi,
character encoding of the refbase script files should be ISO-8859-1 (aka Western ISO-Latin-1) and files are saved with UNIX line endings. You should be able to open these files in a standard text editor, otherwise something went wrong, probably when downloading/unpacking the archive?
I think it would be better to use our forums or mailing lists for further discussions. The forums and mailing lists are monitored by more people -- which may increase the chance that somebody knows a solution to your problem.
Best regards,
Followup:
One of the refbase script files did inadvertently contain some control/null characters which seemed to be the cause of the problem. This has been fixed and won't cause any problems in a future version of refbase.
