requirments wrong at download page

[Rens]

at the download page:
PHP 4.0.4 or better
mySQL 3.22 or better
5Mb of webspace for a medium size board (Including database and 1.3Mb of files)


it should be MySQL 4.0 or better

that's because functions like mysql_fetch_assoc are used.. take a look at  http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-fetch-assoc.php !

on that page you can read: (PHP 4 >= 4.0.3)

[Jeff Lewis]

That page and this (PHP 4 >= 4.0.3) means you need PHP version 4.0.3 or higher, it has nothing to do with version of mySQL.

We're running 3.23 of mySQL here.

I am running MySQL 3.22.32

then why do I getting a error in line 103 of managecats.php (the exact error can't i post now because my ftp server is down)

it's gone when i replace mysql_fetch_assoc with mysql_fetch_row
and the I see how much cat's I have, but the name fields are empty and when trying to delete a category i get the error  "cat.moda is empty or not an object"

What version of PHP are you running?  Have a phpinfo page?

It's your PHP install, ask your host about it

The requirements aren't wrong on the homepage

instead of replacing it with mysql_fetch_row, use mysql_fetch_array

here's a quick explanation of the differences.

Say you are grabbing the fields Name, Email, PhoneNumber, ICQ and FavPositionInBed from a database.

When you get a record, it's in an array - if you use mysql_fetch_row, the array is as follows:

Code Select Expand

$resultArray = array (0 => value of Name,
      1 => value of Email,
      2 => value of PhoneNumber,
      3 => value of ICQ,
      4 => value of FavPositionInBed);
whereas if you use mysql_fetch_assoc the array will be

Code Select Expand

$resultArray = array ('Name' => value of Name,
      'Email' => value of Email,
      'PhoneNumber' => value of PhoneNumber,
      'ICQ' => value of ICQ,
      'FavPositionInBed' => value of FavPositionInBed);
and finally, if you use mysql_fetch_array you'll get

Code Select Expand

$resultArray = array (0 => value of Name,
      1 => value of Email,
      2 => value of PhoneNumber,
      3 => value of ICQ,
      4 => value of FavPositionInBed,
      'Name' => value of Name,
      'Email' => value of Email,
      'PhoneNumber' => value of PhoneNumber,
      'ICQ' => value of ICQ,
      'FavPositionInBed' => value of FavPositionInBed);

So the benefit of using fetch_row or fetch_assoc is that you have fewer indices.
