I've worked around some with XOOPS 2.016, and can't even get some basic modules working, such as Content?!?. I've concluded I must have the same problem as in the post https://xoops.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=54859&forum=28&post_id=242323#forumpost242323

I have quite the same system WAMP -
Windows XP,
Apache 2.0.50,
PHP 5.2.0 and
MySQL 5.0.27.

The content module (version 0.5) gives me the error message below. I do undestand the errormessages, and I can even fix some in the code, but there must be something ELSE e.g. in my php settings or something, that is wrong. Other modules also gives me strange errors, and it seems that thousands of other people are using them with no problems at all.....?!?

In the content module when trying to create a new content:

At the time these modules were written, these didn't exist. Your problems could very well be caused by too new versions of PHP and MySQL. Why not try downgrade php to the latest 4.x, and see if that works. If the problems persist, why not try downgrading MySQL to the latest 4.x too.

Content 0.5? its a rather too old module the new version is content 1:
https://xoops.org/modules/news/article.php?storyid=3603
also by the time php5 is a recommended version ( after 1.7 year of release date!) and some new modules dont support php4 any longer.
