Hi NuAlpha

While they are still developing the retail version of the Momentum Enerpak, maybe you would like a desktop tag/avitar like this:

http://www.eotr.com/Light4Life/product.php?productid=189&cat=0&page=1

Or maybe your own design?

(My preference is divided between:
http://www.eotr.com/Light4Life/product.php?productid=295&cat=0&page=1
and
http://www.eotr.com/Light4Life/product.php?productid=386&cat=0&page=1
)

For girls:

To cybrgman
I am using PHP 4.3.10
You may have some security issues with the older version. You may have to update yours.


For everyone I wish the following:

I had such high hopes

I am suprised anyone is still using PHP 4.2.2. I would recommend upgrading to 4.3.10 if possible, if not...your solution is below.

Add the following to a file named "file_get_contents.php" and put it in the same directory as the catalog cleaning script.

if (!function_exists('file_get_contents')) {
    function file_get_contents($filename, $incpath = false, $resource_context = null)
    {
        if (false === $fh = fopen($filename, 'rb', $incpath)) {
            trigger_error('file_get_contents() failed to open stream: No such file or directory', E_USER_WARNING);
            return false;
        }

        clearstatcache();
        if ($fsize = @filesize($filename)) {
            $data = fread($fh, $fsize);
        } else {
            $data = '';
            while (!feof($fh)) {
                $data .= fread($fh, 8192);
            }
        }

        fclose($fh);
        return $data;
    }
}

?>

Then add the following after the "register_shutdown_function" line:

require('file_get_contents.php');

This has been pulled from the PEAR package PHP_Compat.

And for anyone who is wondering, I am still working on version 2.0 of this script. Won't have the same title and cleaning the HTML catalog will be only a minor function compared to the overall feature pack I am adding to it. However, because this is taking so much work it could be one to two months down the line.

Thanks NuAlpha worked great, sweet mod

I never really thought about upgrading PHP versions (I'm on a dedicated box w/ redhat 9 btw)

What would be the benifit to upgrading versions .... if you don't mind my asking your opinion ?

More features, less bugs, better security.

Hmmm, I applied this to my htaccess file in the store root:

php_flag zlib.output_compression On

which doubles the speed of my php pages (it needed it, even on a dedicated server!). With this line present, I get a blank page when I run the catalog cleaner. If I remove the line, it runs. I'm assuming there's a bit of conflict going on with this line in the script:

ini_set('zlib.output_compression', 'Off'); // Turn off zlib compression, if On, to prevent Mozilla output problems.

It's OK to remove the htaccess line when I run the cleaner script and then reinstate it. but I'm wondering if this compression causes problems with X-Cart in general? I'm basing this notion on the fact that the cleaner script switches it off for a reason

I'm not sure why it would be showing a blank page unless output buffering is occuring and the the browser is just waiting for the script to show everything before loading anything. I have also experienced server 500 errors when I enter PHP values into the .htaccess files instead of a local php.ini file.

The catalog cleaner switches it off because is can cause problems with the Mozilla browser when trying to show a steady output of data.

Here is a fix for those of you seeing blank pages with items like catalog creation, cleaner mod, databse back up etc.

Add the followig code to the following files and you will not have issues any longer.

This code os to be added to the beginning of each of the php files. This will turn off the zlib compression that is causing the issues. If another file calls for the zlib compression, it will be used as normal via .htaccess file so no worries. I have had to do this myself due to these types of blank pages or what seemd to be lock ups. This has happened to me with the catalog creation, stock, custom and root. It has happened when trying to do a back up of database as well.

ini_set("zlib.output_compression","Off");

I have not had the problem with the cleaner file, but it should be the same issues.

Add this snippet of code after the <?php flag and it should make your problem disappear and all be normal.

xcart root: admin: db_backup.php
xcart root: admin: html_catalog.php
xcart root: admin: html_catalog_root.php


Hope this helps someone

From the initial post of this mod to now, is there an update of the mod that includes all the changes / bug-fixes that have been talked about in this thread? I may have just missed it... if so, sorry.

And... does squishing up the code effect anything for SEO at all?
