I'm assuming that the 4.2.2 was installed from an rpm. If you notice, the 4.2.2 configure string probably has like 3000 different options set. The problem is that when the rpm was built and bundled, it was on a system that had all the 'devel' rpm's installed. The 'devel' rpm's usually contain's all the files needed to detect and compile with php. One option is to install all the devel rpms that are dependent on php to be configured with all those options. The other option would involve bringing your system out of the dependency of RPM's, I wouldn't suggest that unless your very comfortable with RH's system. The last one, and perhaps the best solution, is to scratch that system and build a new one with a more current OS.

--- Begin Message ---I've dealt with a similar problem with Mandrake. Some distros have their own idea of where things should go. I prefer to install major applications like apache, perl, mysql, php myself and never install from rpm or accept default distro packages when installing an os from scratch. IMHO: Although handy for some things, I still can't figure out why people put up with rpms. :-) What I finally did is use rpm to uninstall php, apache, and mysql. I also followed dependencies and deleted them as well. This approach is not really a great idea if you're not used to building from source, but I have my own idea of where I like things to go so this works for me. Usually /usr/local is a good choice for installing. Since mysql and apache both come with their own start up scripts using chckconfig to add them to the system is about as easy as it gets.

If you're positive that none of the Apache logs shows anything (but that seems *very* unlikely) then I suggest you taking this up with phpBB support.

--- Begin Message ---======================================= Please feel free to add more points and send to the list. ======================================= 1. If you have any queries/problems about PHP try http://www.php.net/manual/en first. You can download a copy and use it offline also. Please also try http://www.php.net/manual/faq.php for answers to frequently answered questions about PHP (added by Christophe Chisogne). 2. Try http://www.google.com next. Searching for "php YOUR QUERY" may fetch you relevant information within the first 10 results. 3. There is a searchable archive of the mailing list discussion at http://phparch.com/mailinglists. Many of the common topics are discussed repeatedly, and you may get answer to your query from the earlier discussions. For example: One of the repeatedly discussed question in the list is "Best PHP editor". Everyone has his/her favourite editor. You can get all the opinions by going through the list archives. If you want a chosen list try this link : http://www.thelinuxconsultancy.co.uk/phpeditors/ (contributed by Christophe Chisogne). 4. Not sure if PHP is working or you want find out what extensions are available to you? Just put the following code into a file with a .php extension and access it through your webserver: <?php phpinfo(); ?> If PHP is installed you will see a page with a lot of information on it. If PHP is not installed (or not working correctly) your browser will try to download the file. (contributed by Teren and reworded by Chris W Parker) 5. If you are stuck with a script and do not understand what is wrong, instead of posting the whole script, try doing some research yourself. One useful trick is to print the variable/sql query using print or echo command and check whether you get what you expected. After diagnosing the problem, send the details of your efforts (following steps 1, 2 & 3) and ask for help. 6. PHP is a server side scripting language. Whatever processing PHP does takes place BEFORE the output reaches the client. Therefore, it is not possible to access users' computer related information (OS, screen size etc) using PHP. Nor can you modify any the user side settings. You need to go for JavaScript and ask the question in a JavaScript list. On the other hand, you can access the information that is SENT by the user's browser when a client requests a page from your server. You can find details about browser, OS etc as reported by this request. - contributed by Wouter van Vliet and reworded by Chris W Parker. 7. Provide a clear descriptive subject line. Avoid general subjects like "Help!!", "A Question" etc. Especially avoid blank subjects. 8. When you want to start a new topic, open a new mail composer and enter the mailing list address [EMAIL PROTECTED] instead of replying to an existing thread and replacing the subject and body with your message. 9. It's always a good idea to post back to the list once you've solved your problem. People usually add [SOLVED] to the subject line of their email when posting solutions. By posting your solution you're helping the next person with the same question. [contribued by Chris W Parker] 10. Ask smart questions http://catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html [contributed by Jay Blanchard) 11. Do not send your email to the list with attachments. If you don't have a place to upload your code, try the many pastebin websites (such as www.pastebin.com).

I am the very lowest of newbies when it comes to regex
and working through your solutions has been very
educational. I have one question about something I
couldn't figure out:
#<h[1-9]>(.*)</h[1-9]>#Uie
`<h([1-6])>.*?</h\1)>`sie
What is the purpose of the back-ticks and the '#'?
PCRE patterns has to be enclosed, you can use all the non alpha numerics characters to do that. Personnaly, I prefer back ticks because I don't have to escape it often inside my patterns.
For my example, you can also remove the ``s pattern modifier, It makes the dot ( . ) accept any New line characters, and I had not see that you removed them before.
What are 'Uie' and 'sie'?
there are patterns modifiers, you can find a complete list and descriptions here :
http://www.php.net/manual/en/pcre.pattern.modifiers.php
Thanks again! Kathleen

Sorry, Here is the code I am using to match the <h*> tags:
<h([1-9]){1}>.*</h([1-9]){1}>
I think this mask is better : `<h([1-6])>.*?</h\1)>`sie
I have removed all the NL and CR chars from the
string
I am matching to make things easier. Also, I have
run
tidy on the code so the tags are all uniform.
The above string seems to match the tag well now,
but
I still need to remove the br tags from the tag contents (.*).
To remove the <br /> tags, you need to call preg_replace_callback() :
<?php
$str = '<h1>hi <br /> ..</h1> bla bla <h5> .... <br />
..</h5> ...<br />';
function cbk_br($match) {
return '<h' . $match[1] . '>' . str_replace('<br />',
'', $match[2]) . '</h' . $match[1] . '>';
}
$return =
preg_replace_callback('`<h([1-6])>(.*?)</h\1>`si',
'cbk_br', $str);
echo $return;
?>
The strings I will be matching are html formatted text. Sample <h*> tags with content are below:
<h4>Ex-Secretary Mickey Mouse <br />Loses Mass. Primary</h4>
<h4>Ex-Secretary Mickey Mouse <br />Loses Mass. Primary <br /> Wins New Jersey</h4>
<h4>Ex-Secretary Reich Loses Mass. Primary</h4>
Again, any help is appreciated. Kathleen

Quite surprised to see any news about xored trustudio. I used it some time ago, but switched to phpeclipse. xored was developed by a Russian company located in Siberia, city of Novosibirsk. Are they still alive? I have tried their latest M1, it did not work for me.
Does anyone know how to get the "hover" functionality working in xored's
webstudio/trustudio for PHP.
