Compiling (or, de-compiling) a .txt plugin to .php?
How can one do this? I need to install a plugin that isn’t working through the textpattern admin interface, so I’m gonna stick in a plugins folder like I was developing it. Anyone how the process on how to take a .txt plugin file and put it back into .php?
Thanks in advance

That would be part of it. What you’d get back is the serialized array, you’d need to run unserialize() on it to get the original array back.

Or just click on the “edit” link on the plugins page.

Re: Compiling (or, de-compiling) a .txt plugin to .php?
the reason i need the .php code of a .txt plugin, is on some plugins i can’t install them through the admin page. it does this weird thing where after i click on ‘upload’ or whatever the button is, i get sent to my root/textpattern/index.php page, but its really showing the front of my blog.
anyways, some plugins I can install, so it might be cuz i have the newest version of TXP. the way i got to work around with Mary’s image popper plugin, is i put it in a plugins development folder. thus, I need the .php version of the plugin.
by the way, that base64 thing didn’t work. I got a lot of weird code, and some numbers and semi-colons where the <?php tags should be. any other ideas? I’ve emailed the author of the plugin, so he might be sending me a copy of it soon. But I’d like it asap.

You might have a corrupt copy of the plugin.

You’d be better off posting a troubleshooting request about your Upload problem. There was an old thread with a similar problem, perhaps you’ll find something helpful there.

“…I got a lot of weird code, and some numbers and semi-colons…”
As I said: what you’d get back is the serialized array, you’d need to run unserialize() on it to get the original array back.
