I've been setting up some Debian instances (separate chrooted copies of differen versions of the OS) so I can run different versions of PHP and hopefully debug some of the issues people have been having with the Structured Blogging Wordpress plugin on their systems.
The feedback I have from people so far is:
PHP pre 4.3.0 doesn't work due to html_entities_decode() not being present.
PHP 5 on Windows doesn't work as it requires <?php rather than just <?. (And possibly for other reasons.)
Some versions (not sure which) result in a loop that makes PHP run into its memory limit. (This may actually be an interaction with other plugins.)
So today I'm testing what I can right now:
Debian Woody - WP 1.5.2 on PHP 4.1.2 on Apache 1.3.26. This gives me the expected error about html_entity_decode().
Debian Sarge - WP 1.5.2 PHP 4.3.10 on Apache 1.3.33. This seems to work OK.
And I've already tested on:
Debian Sarge+PHP5 - WP 1.5.2 on PHP 5.1.1 on Apache 1.3.33. Works fine.
The next one to set up and test is PHP 5 on Windows. I haven't managed to replicate any of the stranger errors - the memory limit one, for example.
BTW if you're coming to this post via Google to figure out why your SB install isn't working, and can't use your Wordpress install at all at the moment, just delete the structuredblogging.php file to disable the plugin and get WP going. Then drop me a line (click on the envelope: ) to make sure I know about your particular case.
