I have installed minibb in my locals and it's running fine. But when I moved it to the server, post message button is missing. Means that users cannot post messages and reply to messages in the forum. After doing some error checking on the javascript. This is what I found:

if(document.forms[''postMsg'']) document.forms[''postMsg'']
.elements[''subbut''].disabled=false;

it's supposed to be like this

if(document.forms['postMsg']) document.forms['postMsg'].elements['subbut'].disabled=false;

I have check the source file, its using single quotes.
Not sure why single quotes when open in the browser, it becomes double quotes.

can somebody please help me.

Thanks in advance.

I found the wrong script by right click and view source.

Through thorough investigations, I found that any single quotes will be turn into double quotes. This will definitely disturb any coding especially javascript from the template files.
So I suspected this must be something to do with server settings. I differentiate my local phpinfo with the server phpinfo.
It's magic_quotes_sybase is on at the server but off in my locals. I already ask my admin to off the magic_quotes_sybase. Later I will reply with the results.

Why do I think that is the problem? Based on the php manuals:
So If magic_quotes_sybase is on, a single-quote is escaped with a single-quote instead of a backslash

I hope this info will benefits others.

Thank you.

Thanks for the info. I don't know about others but it definitely benefited me :)

Need to off both magic_quotes_sybase and magic_quotes_runtime. Now minibb forum are running fine in the server.

Thanks for the info. As it's listed on miniBB's requirements page, The only requirement about PHP is that magic_qoutes_runtime setting must be set to OFF, which is set so by default.

So I guess we shall put there 'magic_quotes_sybase' as well. Thanks.

Thanks for the helpful tip. It helped me a lot. :)
