Hi Eloy & Stephen,

This is to confirm that the bug "eating of tags" reported in PHP 5.0.3 has been corrected in PHP 5.0.4-dev, which I have installed & tested.

You can download it at http://snaps.php.net/

All the best,

¡Ola Eloy!

Thanks for your prompt response! I've just replaced my PHP 5.0.3 version with PHP 5.0.4 -dev and bingo! the import of the glossary.xml works OK now...

Hello!
On a test machine I am using Moodle 1.4.3, PHP 5.0.3 and mySql 4.1.9-max. I have a problem with importing glossary entries.
The glossary entries are exported correctly to an XML file, but the code is wrongly converted upon importing. For instance, let's consider the various codes for the entry for the word journal.

In the exported XML file, it looks like this:
<span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">false friend # French <span style="font-style: italic;">journal</span>!</span><br />in English a journal is a scientific or academic publication, etc.

Imported into the glossary its code should look like this:
<span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">false friend # French <span style="font-style: italic;">journal</span>!</span><br />in English a journal is a scientific or academic publication, etc.

but on my Moodle installation it looks like this:
span style=color: rgb(255, 0, 0);false friend # French span style=font-style: italic;journal/span!/spanbr /in English a journal is a scientific or academic publication, etc.

which of course it is not displayed correctly as :

journal: false friend # French journal!
in English a journal is a scientific or academic publication, etc.

Has anyone an idea what this can be due to ? my PHP or mySql version ? a conflict with Moodle 1.4.3 ?

Thanks in advance

Alas! I rejoiced too soon... Even a fresh re-installation of another Moodle package did not really solve my problem of PHP/Moodle not displaying images. What happens is most strange: it works just for ONE session, then the bug comes back.
If I re-install for example Windows4Moodle on my Windows XP machine, then I can display images for the time of one session. If I close the Apache server and relauch it later on, no images!
Any idea, anyone, of where the bug comes from?

Thanks in advance,

Hello Eloy!
Thanks for making your Moodle4Windows package available. It saved my day when I recently started to experience serious problems with my "normal" Moodle 1.4 package installation (on my home computer, for testing purposes).
After completely deleting Apache, php, Moodle from my Windows XP machine & instaling Moodle4Windows instead, everything worked fine again!

I have, however, one remark and 2 questions re your package:

1. The readme_en.txt readme file which accompanies your package is confusing, because the installation process described is different from the one you describe in your Moodle post dated 3 Nov 2004. I however managed to overcome that.
2. In that same readme_en.txt you refer to an \xampplite directory, and to PHPMyAdmin 2.5.7 but neither that directory nor that application seem to be present in Moodle4Windows. Why is that?
3. I would like to test Moodle4Windows on an usb stick. I have copied the whole Moodle4Windows directory to a 64Meg stick (removing unwanted language modules). I have started xampp_start.exe from that key (g: on my machine)... but it seems that http://127.0.0.1/moodle/ still refers to my moodle installation on my hard disk C: ..... how can I make it "go" to the usb key on G: ?
   

Thanks again,
