Problems with Squirrel Mail 1.4.19

Good evening!

 

I have a problem with Squirrel Mail 1.4.19! I've downloaded the SM archive and all containing files from squirrelmail.org which redirected me to the Source Forge download of Squirrel Mail. After a succesfull download, I extracted the tar.gz archive to location C:\wamp\www\webmail.

 

Note that I'm installing and configuring Squirrel Mail on my Windows OS, by using Wamp server and HMail server.

 

Than, I followed the installation and config instructions and setup successfully completed! After browsing to http://localhost/webmail/ and loging in with an account I've created in HMail Server, Squirrel Mail works good but with some errors! For example, in the left frame, and in all parts of other frames, I can find the following errror:

 

Deprecated: Function ereg() is deprecated in C:\wamp\www\webmail\functions\imap_mailbox.php on line 450

 

I tried deleting Squirrel Mail files from my computer, again downloading a new fresh copy of Squirrel Mail, and even reinstalling the HMail server, but it didn't help!

 

Do you have any solutions how to solve this problem?
(Still once:

 

Deprecated: Function ereg() is deprecated in C:\wamp\www\webmail\functions\imap_mailbox.php on line 450)

 

Best regards from Ugljesa Brkljac.

Use version 1.4.20RC-2 or a 1.4.20 SVN snapshot.  All of this is on
the SquirrelMail download page.  Why did you go to SourceForge?

Which PHP version are you using?

What is your PHP error_reporting level?

SquirrelMail scripts are written to run on PHP4.1.2 and newer. Latest PHP versions tend to ignore backwards compatibility issues in their E_STRICT and E_DEPRECATED error reporting levels. Lower your PHP error_reporting setting value. SquirrelMail scripts were written to run in E_ALL error reporting level, but PHP developers introduced new error levels. Now SquirrelMail can't run in E_ALL error reporting level. If scripts try to handle all E_STRICT and E_DEPRECATED nags, they will create backwards compatibility and error handling issues.

I wonder if there are any progress on the encoding problem I have reported. The problem is special
characters like øæå in mails running the very latest RC2, standard version of SM with default
settings. The only active plugin is html mail which I suspect being the main problem. The problem
is visible when I reply or forward a mail containing special characters.

I have installed the Norwegian nb_NO language pack as well. Some of the files in the language pack
are encoded in UTF8 which seams to be part of the problem.

I have already sent a detailed report of my configuration and server setup.

Contact plugin developer and ask him to fix plugin's my_html_entity_decode() function. Function is broken in any non-iso-8859-1 translation and fallback code does not decode html entities correctly even in iso-8859-1. SquirrelMail 1.4.5+ has all but one functions needed to do conversions better than PHP. Last needed function is in SquirrelMail trunk.

Thanks! But what does this really mean? The html mail plugin is written by Paul Lesniewski but has
not been developed/updated the last four years. Is Paul still active in Squirrelmal development?

No cure for this problem unless Paul fix it?

No alternative than stop using this nice plugin?

Nabble.com threading shows, that when you wrote your "progress on the encoding problem?" message, you haven't started new thread. You replied to email written on other topic. That email was written by Paul. So you should be aware that Paul is still SquirrelMail developer.

Find someone who can fix it. plugins/html_mail/functions.php file, somewhere near lines 1429-1468 in my_html_entity_decode() function. I can't fix it, because I have lengthy list of reasons for not touching that code.

You are absolutely right about that. Don't know why I overlooked the fact.

Hm, I have for a long time got a feeling of some bad vibes in the SM community. I guess your
explanation makes it quite clear. The sad thing is I doubt there ever will be a fix for this
problem in the plugin.

An episode from the Seinfeld show came to my mind; the soup nazi...
