Forks of non-maintained projects: APD, phpDocumentor, PHPMailer & ADODB

[R. Rajesh Jeba Anbiah]

If you're working in PHP 5 and used APD, phpDocumentor, PHPMailer &
ADODB, you might be knowing that these projects are not maintained and
the old codes are throwing bunch of errors in higher error levels.
Anyone knows of any forks for these projects or any alternatives? TIA

Hey,

Just for the record: I am using ADODB with PHP5 without ANY problems except
the ones I created. ;-)

What are your problems with ADODB in PHP5?
Did you get the latest version at www.phplens.com/adodb ?

Thanks for your reply. I'm having 4.8 and it's still using
deprecated var. I guess, you're under low error reporting level and or
in compatibility mode. So, this will definitely affect when you move to
real PHP 5 server, FYI.

Another thing is that ADODB's mysqli support is bogus and this is of
major concern as every other client wants the mysqli features.

No, sorry: I report all errors.
Always do. Keeps me alert.
And why is my server not a 'real php5 server'?

Erwin looks really insulted because he likes his server. ;-)

Well, maybe you are right. I am only using ADODB for MSSQL Server access,
and it has no problems (so far), nor any errors.
My ADO package says it is for PHP4, but runs fine under PHP5.

Well, I hope this information helps.

If you cannot solve your problems/errors, maybe contact John Lim, the
author.
He answered my emails fast and polite, great guy. :-)

As I said, it might be because of your error level or compatibility
mode. But, it shoudl definitely throw errors on strict mode (I always
use E_ALL | E_STRICT) as they're using deprectated var (at least for
this you should get error).

http://phplens.com/lens/lensforum/msgs.php?id=14200&x=1 shows that
the mysqli is not maintained and the author wants contribution. But, my
concern is not only with this plug, but with other classes too.

It's quite time I was away from PHP and didn't read the blogs; and
thought there might be some forks available in the meantime (like
eAccelerator)
