paths

[Tainted_Love]

Hi !

Fisrt of all THANX ! That's a very good script ...

Just a little problem with it ...

I just installed it and I'm trying to change the paths for the thumbs and others. When I type a path and click on the "update" button, it deletes the first 4 letters of my path.
If I click again on "update" it deletes again the first 4 letters ...

I don't know what can be the problem ...

Have you any idea ?

Thanx

p.s. If you do a multilinguage version, I can do the translation in french, if you like ...

There is a size limit of 255 characters for paths and URL's, if your paths are longer they are cut. If that is the problem it is quite easily fixed by changing a few datatypes in database and some form code. Let me know if you need that fix.

But if the problem is not too long paths, then it would be best if you emailed me the URL to your input folder and I'll have a look what's going on there.

Thanks for the offer. If my aunt (french professor) refuses to do the french translation I'll keep your offer in mind. EE 1.3 will be fully multilingual and languages are installed as "language packs".

Hi,

OK, I found out the problem. It's not in EE but in PHP. There is a confirmed bug in PHP 4.2.3 which makes FORM data (from array) lose characters from beginning.

See http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=20024 and http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=19829

To fix this you should revert back to PHP 4.2.2. or to a newer CVS version (PHP 4.3.0pre2 from http://www.php.net/).
