preg_match_all - UTF8

[jaruz]

Hello:

I am receiving the following error:

[WARNING] preg_match_all(): Compilation failed: this version of PCRE is not compiled with PCRE_UTF8 support at offset 0 error in line 119 of lib/utf8/utf8.php

Is there a way to fix this, besided upgrading PHP which I can't do?

Thanks!

Sincerely yours,


Juan Antonio

You can try that :

in src/phpfreechat.class.php
search for this line :

Code: Select all

$nickname = utf8_substr($nickname, 0, $c->max_nick_len);

replace it by this one :

Code: Select all

$nickname = @utf8_substr($nickname, 0, $c->max_nick_len);

keep me informed

Hi Stéphane:

When I make the change you suggest, I no longer get the error but the chats does not let anybody login. (It keeps asking for a nickname):

I am using version 0.9.3. (stable). Tried using the new beta version, but I get practically the same preg utf8 error.

keep me informed

Ok cool,

I just committed a new version of utf8_substr that I found in typo3 code.
This new version seams to be less system dependant that the old one (no more preg_match_all dependancies).

So please test this code on the lastest subversion revisions or just wait for the coming 1.0-beta5 release.

keep me informed.
