codeigniter include problem (with simplepie library)

[eluser]introvert[/eluser]
Hello,

Everytime I try to include Simplepie in my CI application I get no response from apache server (no error or anything).

I also tried including it without CI load library function (include ’simplepie.php’) but it will cause the same thing.

Anyone has any idea what might be going on?

If I include simplepie outside CI framework it will work just fine.

I also checked the php max buffer configuration and its set to 126mbs so there shouldnt be any problem.

Heres the apache log for the event:
[Thu Sep 17 17:21:32 2009] [notice] Parent: Created child process 2804
[Thu Sep 17 17:21:33 2009] [notice] Child 2804: Child process is running
[Thu Sep 17 17:21:33 2009] [notice] Child 2804: Acquired the start mutex.
[Thu Sep 17 17:21:33 2009] [notice] Child 2804: Starting 64 worker threads.
[Thu Sep 17 17:21:33 2009] [notice] Child 2804: Starting thread to listen on port 80.

Thanks in advance!

I am getting the same thing, or similar. I can run the Simplepie demo, when I try it inside CodeIgniter, Apache blows up. Running Vista/PHP5.3.0/Codeigniter1.7.

Any help appreciated.

Try this: http://www.haughin.com/code/simplepie/

That library doesn't appear to work against PHP 5.3 with CodeIgniter. It wraps an old version of SimplePie (1.1) at any rate.

Please post if you make any progress on this. I'm having the same issues.

This has been outstanding for a while and I know it's holding a bunch of people up. How much time would a fix for this take? Would somebody take this on if I kicked in some cash and passed the hat a little bit?

Solution for users of php 5.2.3+ I believe. This works for me. I was able to learn this by trying Simplepie with Kohana and looking at the error output. This now works for me with CI 1.7.2 and php 5.3

Open Simplepie.php

search:
=& new

replace with:
= new

The answer above worked.

Same answer on this thread and my response:
