WikkaWakka requires PHP4 >= 4.3.0, the function mysql_real_escape_string() is first introduced in php4 4.3.x: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-real-escape-string.php

SkyWalk mentioned this under http://wikka.jsnx.com/SuggestionBox
It would be nice when this would be updated accordingly :-)

Done. But as a registered user, you could have done it yourself - it's a wiki :)

Lots of hosters still don't have PHP 4.3+ available; a workaround for lower versions (say, 4.1+) would be nice and shouldn't be all that hard either.

I am still having problems with the TextSearch page and PageIndex.
The search page finds no results and asks if I want to create a new page and the index shows no records even though I know pages exist.
My host's version is Client API version 3.23.49. PHP is 4.3.7.
They currently have no plans to change this.
GMB mentioned that jason had helped him resolve the problem with an earlier version of mySQL and the wikka.php file contains an if .. else statement (commented out) that checks the version number unfortunately I can't get this to work, when I change it to 3,23,49.
Can anyone offer any help to resolve the problem?

@JamesMcl,
Correct - it uses coding (specifically for the search functionality) that is MySQL 4 specific. That's another area where a workaround for, say, 3.23+ would be needed. (A little bit harder than the workaround I mentioned for PHP.)

The current code simply assumes too much about recent versions of software that aren't always found on hosted system.

I mentioned this problem on WikkaBugs but I don't know whether anyone has considered addressing the problem, or whether it is in work or not.
I find the modifications etc confusing. There doesn't seem to be a page that identifies whether the modifications are temporary or whether they have been incorporated into the code at a particular release. Maybe some sort of modification archive page could be created.
For instance, there was talk about modifying the CategoryCategory count but this does not appear to have been corrected in the latest release.

There are still *many* hosts that don't provide PHP 4.3 ; I believe we should add code to make Wikka backwards compatible with PHP 4.1+ - the approach for that has already been suggested - and it wouldn't involve big changes; the extra code could probably even be conditionally included to keep the core as lean as possible.

See SuggestionBox "Compatibility with PHP 4.1.x".

The same goes for MySQL support which is now really for 4.x but backward compatibility with 3.23+ could be provided.

WikkaWiki takes less than 1 Mo but without plugin (3rdparty directory adds more or less 1.2Mo). A complete installation need nearly 2Mo.
This should be written in this documentation page.
