allow function.unpack()

[felabria]

The most (free)hosts support this. why does x10hosting not?

is it this function you are referring too: http://se2.php.net/manual/en/function.unpack.php ?

Ye, SMF requires this with webinstall.php

 

[galaxyAbstractor]

Could you try install SMF manually by downloading all files and uploading them?

 

[diabolo]

you can also use sofalicious to install SMF

make sure you change [yourdomain]
http:/[/yourdomain].com:2082/frontend/x3/softaculous/index.live.php?act=software&soft=79

If you are talking about the PHP function unpack, it runs on x10hosting.

Try running

<?php
if( function_exists( 'unpack')) {
    echo "Yes" ;
} else {
    echo "No" ;
}
echo "<br />" ;
$binarydata = pack("c*", 76, 83, 65, 66);
echo $binarydata ;
echo "<br />" ;
$back = unpack( "c*", $binarydata  ) ;
echo var_dump( $back ) ;
 
echo "<br />" ;
?>

Install SMF using the downloads on SMF's website, or through softaculous/fantastico.

why does smf say this? Warning: unpack() [function.unpack]: Type H: not enough input, need 1, have 0 in /home/felabria/public_html/webinstall.php on line 982
Edit:

If you are talking about the PHP function unpack, it runs on x10hosting.

Try running

<?php
if( function_exists( 'unpack')) {
    echo "Yes" ;
} else {
    echo "No" ;
}
echo "<br />" ;
$binarydata = pack("c*", 76, 83, 65, 66);
echo $binarydata ;
echo "<br />" ;
$back = unpack( "c*", $binarydata  ) ;
echo var_dump( $back ) ;
 
echo "<br />" ;
?>

the code give me this: Yes
LSAB
array(4) { [1]=> int(76) [2]=> int(83) [3]=> int(65) [4]=> int(66) }

and also the code by the smf webinstall.php is

// If this doesn't return the right signature, it's not a gzip.
$id = unpack('H2a/H2b', substr($data, 0, 2));
if (strtolower($id['a'] . $id['b']) != '1f8b')
return false;

$flags = unpack('Ct/Cf', substr($data, 2, 2));
