Geeklog Forums

I hate to add another install problems topic, but I can't figure what's going on when I attempt to install. Here's what I get on admin/install/install.php: Notice: Use of undefined constant LB - assumed 'LB' in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\geeklog\admin\install\install.php on line 39 Notice: Undefined variable: action in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\geeklog\admin\install\install.php on line 279 Notice: Undefined variable: page in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\geeklog\admin\install\install.php on line 288 Notice: Undefined variable: page in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\geeklog\admin\install\install.php on line 296 Ideas?

The LB constant is defined in config.php, so I would suggest you double-check your paths.

bye, Dirk

I've set this up undex OS X before, so PHP and MySQL under windows is a bit new. As for the paths, is there a difference between: c:\\inetpub\\wwwroot\\geeklog\\admin\\install\\install.php and c:\\Inetpub\\wwwroot\\geeklog\\admin\\install\\install.php ??? The second one is the correctly named path (with the capitalized Inetpub). Other than that, I see no problems. Kyle

Bug? When I previewed the above post, none of the '\' were showing, so I assumed I had to double them up. (There's a certain word for using a '\' to allow certain characters: What's that called? For the life of me I can't remember). Kyle

I found this in config.php: define('LB',"\n"; but in install.php, it looks like this: define(LB,"\n"; I've just started dabbling with PHP, so I'm no expert...what's the difference?

Hi! The backslash is to devalue the following character - so you can use the quotation mark inside a string. You also need to devalue the backslash. It's call an escape-char. -flomi

I understand the escape character, but the point I was making was that the preview function doesn't do anything more than remove backslashes and display excactly what you typed (i.e. the preview function doesn't parse the html tags and display them). So what's the point if it doesn't actually preview?
