I've installed XOOPS 2.0.8 on 2 different servers, both running PHP 5.0.2. On both servers, I can't seem to properly install some of the core modules. In each case, it tells me the module was already installed. I uninstall, and reinstall, same message. If I try to update, something odd happens. After submitting, the browser seems to try and submit, but then it fails before the process even gets the chance to load the next page... it stays on the update module page. The modules also do not show up in the list of module icons in the left column.

Regarding PHP5 compatibility.

We have a modified, experimental, test-version - called XOOPS 2.0.8 (but don't mind that - it was just me making a lot of confusion there). It is based on XOOPS 2.0.7.1 with a great deal of changes to conform to PHP5.

The more people testing this, the better. It is available in this public thread on dev.xoops.org

Personally I have found it to run fine - except when I want to install certain modules, namely Team and MyDownloads. This crashes the webserver and only half of the module is installed.

I have no idea, why this is, so the more people trying this, the better.

My own webserver, tested with PHP5, are actually two WinXP machines with the latest XAMPP (I think) - same problem on both, but XOOPS itself runs smoothly.

The main problem is get_class() function in PHP5 has difference form PHP4. PHP4 return lowercase, and PHP5 return original notation.
