Problem with Base64 plugin

[aaro...@gmail.com]

Hi there,
I've just posted a new website for a client, and ran into a bit of a
snag: I'd written the application in PHP5, but the client's hosting
company is still on PHP4! Bastards! Anyway, I thought 'no problem',
and regenerated all the objects to go with PHP4. Of course, as we know
I can no longer run the application on my dev machine running PHP5. I
can live with that. But I need to have it working correctly on the
live server, and I can't get the Base64 plugin to work. The whole site
is encoded now! :-P

I try to install the plugin through Setup, and I get this message:

Warning: mysql_num_rows(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL
result resource in [...filepath...]/objects/class.database.php on line
60

I'm kind of at wit's end right now, and probably -- hopefully! --
missing something obvious. Any thoughts?

Cheers,
Aaron.

Okay, I'm going to answer my own question, sort of.

Out of desperation, I "tricked" Setup.

1. With Configuration showing encoding=0, I ran setup. No problem!
2. I set encoding=1.
3. Back in Setup, I continue from the successful setup. Boom! I'm into
the Manage Objects tab, and I can see all my objects' data!

So is this an error in the diagnostics?

Thanks,
Aaron.

Hi Aaron,

To get the base64 plugin to install, you need the encoding to be 0 and
then switch it back to 1 after it installs. I've had that problem too,
and found the solution somewhere on the POG site I think. I suppose it
is a weak point for the setup.
