• magic_quotes_gpc and magic_quotes_runtime must be set to off. If this is not the case, you have to activate the magicquotes plugin delivered with Jelix.
• session_auto_start must be set to off.
• safe_mode must be set to off. (jelix not tested with on)

It is also recommended to set these values :

• register_globals = off
• asp_tags = off
• short_open_tag = off

The phpinfo() function can help you to see if this options are set with the right values. You can see also the php.ini file of your server.

The MAMP software provides PHP-Cli. Perhaps there is also an other PHP-CLI already installed un MacOS. And then, the problem is that PHP-CLI for MAMP is not configured to access to the MAMP mysql.

The solution:

• Open the /etc/profile/ file with administrator rights
• Add this two lines at the end (change the path if it is not the good path)

export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/Applications/MAMP/Library/lib:${DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH}
export PATH=/Applications/MAMP/bin/php5/bin:${PATH}

• A line break should be exist at the end of the file
• save

If you want to use the old PHP-CLI, delete this two lines.

You have to add the path to the php-cli binary in the PATH variable of your system.

• right click on the icon of computer, then choose properties
• In the system properties dialog, click on the tab "advanced", then on the button to see the environment variables.
• In "system variable", click on the PATH variable
• Change the value of the PATH variable, by adding the path to the directory of the binary of php.exe. With WAMP for example, add c:\wamp\bin\php\php5.2.6\. Don't forget to add a ";" to separate all pathes.
• validate and close the dialog
• reboot

Then you can call php.exe from any directory, and from the jelix-scripts directory.
