By the way: This is the PHP error I get when trying to save a date: [12-Aug-2020 21:03:24 Europe/Amsterdam] PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function strptime() in C:\inetpub\Racktables\wwwroot\inc\functions.php:6381 Stack trace: #0 C:\inetpub\Racktables\wwwroot\inc\functions.php(431): timestampFromDatetimestr() #1 C:\inetpub\Racktables\wwwroot\inc\ophandlers.php(1374): genericAssertion() #2 C:\inetpub\Racktables\wwwroot\inc\ophandlers.php(1312): updateObjectAttributes() #3 C:\inetpub\Racktables\wwwroot\index.php(238): updateObject() #4 {main} thrown in C:\inetpub\Racktables\wwwroot\inc\functions.php on line 6381 |

Thank you for the bug report. According to PHP documentation, strptime() is a part of PHP core since 5.1.0, but it is not available on Windows. Before switching to strptime() in 2013 RackTables used a different date parsing function and it didn't work well (see the comment in git commit 2a943f8). Before switching to strptime() I had made a comparison of date and time functions and picked the one that worked well, had a good reverse function and did not depend on PHP >= 5.3. Although Windows compatibility was and is not a goal, I accept that another good function may be available now (RackTables now requires PHP >= 7.0), and that in that case the other function might also fix this Windows-specific issue. But before making any changes all edge cases would need to be considered because every RackTables user has date+time data in the database and its processing must not break. In other words, if this problem ever gets fixed, it will take a long time, so if you need a quick solution and want to avoid as many edge cases as possible, please run RackTables on a Linux server/VM with Apache httpd. |
