PHP_Sitemap Help! Works in Php v 5.2 but not 5.3

Hi All

I have recently changed hosts and having sorted out the niggles the only problem i am left to resolve is my site map...

With the previous hosts it worked fine and i wasn't expecting a problem on the new host, however it resolutely refuses to work....

I have tried updating everything to the newest versions to no avail....

As you can see by clicking the link below, the servers seems to get part way through processing the page then seemingly stops and outputs the code as text....

http://www.tugtracker.co.uk/menu/extras ... /index.php

I have run this past the hosts and they have assured me that everything is well severside as indicated by....

http://www.tugtracker.co.uk/menu/extras ... hpinfo.php
&
http://www.tugtracker.co.uk/menu/extras ... simple.php

It is almost as if the server gets as far as the <PRE> and stops!!!! Looking at the outputed page through firefox's source view everything code wise upto the pre is pink!

Code:

html>   
<body>

This file needs to be executed under PHP from a webserver and will take the <br>
contents of any Milonic menu data file and output the results as either a <br>
NoScript menu or as a Sitemap


<?

//$menuDataFile[]="http://www.milonic.com/menu_data.php"; // Can execute a WWW File

$menuDataFile[]="http://www.tugtracker.co.uk/menu/embedded_main_menu.js"; // Or can execute a local file

//$menuDataFile[]="/main_menu_data.php"; // You can also add more than one file
//$menuDataFile[]="/menu_data.php";      // For main and sub menus if you need to


$useMenuStyles=false;
include("http://www.tugtracker.co.uk/menu/extras/php_sitemap/mm_dataminer.php");
echo "<Pre>".outputAsSiteMap($menuDataFile)."</Pre>"; // Can output as a Sitemap
//echo "<PRE>".outputAsNoScript($menuDataFile)."</PRE>"; // Or output as a NoScript Sitemap

?>

</body>
</html>

Could any one give any pointers as to why this seems to occur?

Right i have no ascertained where the problem may lie

I have on another site installed this php_sitemap

On this server i can switch between php 5.2 and php 5.3

The sitemap runs fine when set to php 5.2 but outputs the same error with 5.3....

does this assist with rectification? my php knowledge is poor at best..

- unfortunatly i cannot switch versions on the first site i mention!

Hi,

Have you tried the latest version of the menu.

I'm pretty sure there's a fix for 5.3 in there.

if not, let me know which modules you are using and I'll take a look.

How are you building the menus?

From static files or with PHP?

Hi again;

Menu version updated to 5.9, no change (incidentally the files for php_menu folder show last updated 2009.

I had again to go into both files and change the <? to <?php to get the code to run,

It runs to the same point of again outputting 6 bullets (it is clearly fetching these from the menu as if i insert a new top level on the menu file it will output 7 bullets).

My menu is built using the Subs_menu.js and embedded_main_menu.js these files are usually brought into htm aspx or for the sitemap only php files. I have tried using the default menu_data.js but i still get the same problem...

The menu itself works fine in all pages in which i insert it, i am only having problems with the sitemap.

I also note that the ereg_replace funtion which is used extensively in the dataminer is depreciated in php v5.3..

http://php.net/manual/en/function.ereg-replace.php

Though i havent the php knowledge to replace it other than like for like with preg_replace using find and replace (this makes no difference)

Can you please confirm the version of mm_dataminer.php you are using?

It should be version 2.1

2.1 of mm_dataminer.php doesn't contain any reference to ereg_replace so not sure what's going on here.

is there another file that PHP complains about?

I rechecked the files on my sever and they deffo was 2.1 with ereg_

I have just re downloaded and manually copied and pasted the code from the zip file to the file on the webserver and guess what!

It works - just to make me look an idiot.... Im going to blame some sort of versioning issue!

http://www.tugtracker.co.uk/menu/extras ... /index.php

Im going to print out the two codes and go through them line by line and find out why....... Don't wait up, i may be some time!

Cheers for your help
