Useful feature for dummies like me...

[itibook]

Hi guys,

I ran into the bcmath-not-installed problem... luckily I have two
hosts so I could install clipperz on the one that had the bcmath (yes
I am a dummy and a lazy cow :-)

It would be good to use the "extension_loaded" in the install file to
verify the presence of all needed extensions before hitting the
"install" button...

http://nl3.php.net/extension_loaded

hope it helps

ciao

Hello Luca,

thanks for the suggestion, but we are definitely not PHP experts. Any
contribution on how to improve the community edition code is very
welcome! :-)

Hi Giulio,

well I consider myself more of a dummy :-)

anyway, try to add the below to the code... haven't tested it though,
but should work...

ciao

Luca

//Check extensions
$errors=0;

if(!extension_loaded('bcmath')){
echo '<b>BCmath extension seems to be missing please check your
PHP installation</b><br>';
echo 'More info here - BCMath: <a href="http://it.php.net/bc">http://
it.php.net/bc</a><br>';
$errors++;
}

if(!extension_loaded('json')){
echo '<b>JSON extension seems to be missing please check your PHP
installation</b><br>';
echo 'More info here - JSON: <a href="http://aurore.net/projects/php-
json/">http://aurore.net/projects/php-json/</a><br>';
$errors++;
}


if(!extension_loaded('pdo')){
echo '<b>PDO extension seems to be missing please check your PHP
installation</b><br>';
echo 'More info here - PDO: <a href="http://ca.php.net/pdo">http://
ca.php.net/pdo</a><br>';
$errors++;
}

if ($errors > 0){
echo '<b>You seem to be missing '.$errors.' extension/s that are
fundamental for the installation of Clipperz</b>';
die();
}

Luca,

thanks for the suggestion. We will try to integrate them next time we
will update the Community Edition.

Thanks,
