You can discuss this here.

Curious, does this have to do with use of long arrays (i.e., HTTP_POST_VARS)?

No. UseBB uses $_POST and $_GET and the other ones in this style (cookie, session, etc...).

The problem is PHP5 might want to send warnings when using 'var' to declare variables in an object.

I see, as opposed to 'public', 'private', and 'protected'.

I was just installing the forum on my home computer to do some mods for it, but durring the install (step 2) I get either
"var: Deprecated. Please use the public/private/protected modifiers" (zend.ze1_compatibility_mode = Off) or
"Implicit cloning object of class 'db' because of 'zend.ze1_compatibility_mode'" (zend.ze1_compatibility_mode = On).

I've changed the php.ini setting, restarted, etc. and still can't get it to work on my php5 install. Anyways, I guess I will work with it on my server (running php4), just thought this might help some way.

The installer will be replaced in 0.6, UseBB itself should work however.

UseBB 0.6 has undergo some fixes and should work fully on PHP5 shortly.

Fixing deprecated variables is easy, set error_reporting(E_ALL); Make an error handler that will work out notices cause by STRICT (E_STRICT) compatability issues.

and voila!

That's what is being done at this time.

Well I can vouch for the fact that, apart from a few self inflicted problems which I am working on (long urls, cookies not setting), this excellent Forum/BBS script works 100% with PHP 5.0.5.

Check out http://usebbseven.nzcool.com/ <<< its only a test forum.

This is running on Server 2003 / IIS 6 / PHP 5.0.5 / MySQL 4.1.14

Well done Dietrich
