Functionality of source with php7 wamp build

[Former user]

Installed earlier in week with older XAMPP version and got it all working, now trying to register the bar circle spins stops and nothing happens.

Don;t know if its a setup thing or php7 issues.

I'll take a look and see if application is fully compatible with PHP7 and make some changes if/where necessary. Expect an update in a few days.

@daimian @clarktheshark Any updates?

[Andrew Clark]

Sorry about the hold up @Ashy!

I'll try and take a proper look at this today but most likely on Monday now.

Ok, so I've just took a look at this and it would appear that PHP7.1 is not an issue - that's the current version I'm testing on (I have not tried 7.0).

I did run into the same problem though when trying to register a user and after looking at the error logs it was caused because my primary Tripwire database was called 'tripwire' - it needs to called 'tripwire_database'. The source .sql file is called 'tripwire.sql' so I can see why people fall into this trap.

Once I had renamed my database I was able to register, login and get to the default Jita page. I'm not a machine that has EVE installed so I cannot test all the functionality but this might help with the reported issue until I can do some further tests regarding PHP7.

I'll update the installation documentation/README a little in a few days to make this issue a bit clearer for people. I'll also add some checks to see if table's exist and give useful error messages in future.

PR to come Monday!

PR submitted, found some spare time!

The line in db.inc

'mysql:host=localhost;dbname=tripwire_database;charset=utf8',

All I did was change to...

'mysql:host=localhost;dbname=tripwire;charset=utf8',

and worked just fine. OR changing the database name will do the same thing. ;)

Also I used to run Tripwire on PHP7.0 with no problems.

Tripwire is PHP7.1 compatible - please be careful with setting up your hosted instance of Tripwire as the setup is very specific and not an easy task currently.
