01156: Conditional markup not working in PHP 5.3

Summary: Conditional markup not working in PHP 5.3

Created: 2009-12-03 06:49

Status: Closed - fixed for 2.2.8

Category: Bug, PHP Compatibility

From: Petko

Assigned:

Priority: 5

Version: 2.2.7

OS: PHP 5.3.x

Description: Reported on the mailing list by Dan McMullen:

(:if exists Group.PageName:) seems to always return 
false.  a copy of the development wiki under linux/php 5.2.10 works as 
expected.

(:if exists Main.HomePage:)
exists
(:else:)
foo
(:ifend:)

produces 'foo' on osx/php5.3 and 'exists' on linux/php5.2.10.

Fails for me too. Scott Connard December 03, 2009, at 08:42 AM

i did some poking at the code on this one. it looks to me like this line in pmwiki.php:

$Conditions['exists'] = 'PageExists(MakePageName(\$pagename, \$condparm))';

should be:

$Conditions['exists'] = 'PageExists(MakePageName($pagename, $condparm))';

Did someone find out what was the change in PHP 5.3 that triggered this? -- Rogutės, 2009-12-05
