The following PHP functions... are disabled

klim_webcoder · 2010-09-05 15:23:18

Hi.

I have installed textpattern and checked site diagnostics.

According to this article: http://textpattern.com/faq/266/the-following-php-functions-are-disabled
Quote:
“…If you have any listed in the message but not listed here, create a new topic in the Troubleshooting forum…”

I’m writing here about 2 functions (not listed in the list):
posix_getpwuid, eval

TXP version: 4.2.0 (r3275)

I have no problems now with this, just reporting this to you.

posix_getpwuid, eval

Do you have working plugins? I thought disabling eval() disables them…

klim_webcoder · 2010-09-05 16:58:51

No plugins yet. I’m new to txp :)
This is bad, if it so… I’ll read about this function.

Yep, it does. It does also disable the use of <txp:php> tags and raw PHP, altho the latter is depracated. Loading plugins from the txp_plugin table when eval() is disabled will cause plugin_load_error_above -error message and plugins won’t work.

Eval does what the name suggests; it evaluates code. You’ve (or host) better to enable it if you fancy about using plugins the traditional easy way.

But you can still use plugins (most of them at least), even when eval is disabled, by adding the plugins to plugin cache directory. Plugin’s that are added to plugin cache directory do not need to be evaluated with eval().

Thanks a lot!
I’ll ask my host company about enabling it.

My hosting company enabled eval only for the folder, where is my site located: public_html.
I checked it with this code:

$string = 'cup';
$name = 'coffee';
$str = 'This is a $string with my $name in it.';
echo $str. "<br/ >";
eval("\$str = \"$str\";");
echo $str;

And it is working and displays:

Eval Test
This is a $string with my $name in it.
This is a cup with my coffee in it.

But TXP site diagnostics tells again about eval absence.
How does this diagnostics work? Maybe diagnostic script checks the whole host settings and ignores the folder settings?

TXP uses ini_get() function to get disable_functions value from the active configuration.

My hosting company enabled eval only for the folder, where is my site located: public_html.

Sub-directories too? That obviously should be the case, tho depending on the method used to allow the function for specific directory.

The diagnostics may not tell the truth in some cases. If everything really works, it’s somewhat advicable to ignore the notices.

Yes, I put my script in sub-directories also. Particularly, in /textpattern/ directory.
It works.

So, it seems, that everything really works:)
Thanks again (also for how diagnostics works).
