[pmwiki-users] 2 problems with notify.php script

[John Rankin]

I thought I would report a couple of problems we encountered 
when trying, with eventual success, to get notify to work on 
a Linux server running php 4.1.2 in safe mode.

1. call to fgets in NotifyCheck requires a second parameter

This seems to be because 4.1.2 is such an old version of php. 
I changed fgets($nfp) to fgets($nfp, 1024) and the warning 
we had been getting went away, though the php manual states 
that the second parameter is optional.

2. call to mail fails silently when safe mode is on

It appears that $NotifyParameters (the last argument) is
disallowed when php runs in safe mode. I removed it from
the list of arguments, but a tidier solution might be to
do this:

    if ($NotifyParameters) mail( ... , $NotifyParameters);
    else mail( ... );

Has anybody else encountered these problems?
