Updated some dev and live sites, no snags found yet. The Diagnostics warning about PHP being enabled in pages/articles was unexpected but a welcome reminder.

Aside: is upload_tmp_dir in Diagnostics a special string that doesn’t need translating into English? It looks a little out of place with the other strings all looking ‘normal’.

Both that and open_basedir (which you probably won’t see) are php.ini setting values, so we decided to keep them raw, since they’ll be in English in all php.ini files (as far as I’m aware). Nothing to stop us adding some paraphernalia text around them, as long as translators know to keep that part of the string untranslated.

From memory, they’re the only two untranslated values in the diag output.

Thanks, Bloke. Might be worth considering a ‘PHP info’ subheading in the diagnostics, then if any others are pulled in it’s more clear they’re PHP-related (i.e. not to be translated).

That works. Leave it with me.

Dibs on your fuel stamps if they’re spare.

I’ve been testing the beta and enjoying the refinements, thanks all!

However I’m still receiving malformed emails from Textpattern with PHP 8.2 due to the space at the start of the email header lines:

From: Example Name <email@example.com>
 X-Mailer: Textpattern
 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8"

All these header lines appear merged as the ‘From’ address due to the spaces at the start of the lines.

I was hoping this would be fixed in 4.9.0?

A solution was discussed back in 2023:

Is that with com_connect? You should use the updated plugin, you can find it here: github.com/textpattern/com_connect/tree/v4.9.0 (just save the .php file and upload that to your server). I have no problems with PHP 8.2 and 8.3.

It’s fixed in the core Mail Adapter but I seem to have forgotten to pull the commit forward into the 4.9.0 com_connect plugin oops. I probably assumed I’d merge it from main at some point but haven’t done that yet. I’ll get it done, apologies.

I also wonder if it should be fixed in the core Encoder.

Hmmm. Let me play.

No, I’m not using com_connect with the beta site – the problem is still with emails from Textpattern itself (account activation and password change emails for example).

Thanks for taking a look! The problem I’m having is with core Textpattern emails, I haven’t tried com_connect yet.
