Hi,

I'm trying to submit a bug report on phpDocumentor, but it won't send an
email confirmation to me. I've tried the page at:
http://pear.php.net/bugs/report.php?package=PhpDocumentor&action=Report+Bug

I also can't create an account manually, at
http://pear.php.net/account-request-vote.php#requestform
All it will tell me is 'Username is invalid.'. And yes, I've tried
several times with different usernames, including random numbers.

The projects homepage at sourceforge seems abandoned and has no valid
link to any bug report tool.

It would be nice if anyone can tell me what I'm doing wrong...

regards,
Auke van Slooten

What is the bug you want to report?

Hi,

I've been working on a hobby project to get myself familiar with PHP
5.3. In it I have code that looks like this:

<?php

namespace ripcord;

/**
* The ripcord exception class.
*/
class Exception extends \Exception {
}

?>

This is, as far as I know, perfectly valid PHP 5.3 code, but
phpDocumentor is apparently not yet ready for PHP 5.3, it complains:

ERROR in ripcord.php on line 108: class Exception cannot extend itself -
TEST YOUR CODE BEFORE PARSING

Which is a shame, since I've gone to some length to get my documentation
in line with what phpDocumentor expects. (I've used NaturalDocs before,
but most PHP projects seem to use phpDocumentor..)

Normally I'd consider it more of a feature request, but since
phpDocumentor actually refuses to continue and generate documentation, I
think its more proper to call it a bug.

regards,
Auke van Slooten

PS. I still want to know how to file a bug report myself... or perhaps
someone should take a look at the registration process, because it seems
to be broken. I did check my spam folder, but no confirmation message
there either. And the username check seems broken or at least it isn't
communicative in what is wrong with the usernames I tried.

Yep. phpDocumentor is currently NOT namespace aware.

It does seem to be an inactive project at the moment.

Hi,

it seems someone has turned on sendmail, because I've just gotten al my
confirmation emails, which would be nice, except now the 'salt' sent in
my original confirmation mails aren't valid, probably timed out. My one
attempt which did get past the 'Invalid username' has the username
'rwfsfsfsfsdfsfdsfsd', which isn't exactly what I'm looking for, and
after trying to report the bug for the third time, after having to do a
captcha twice, since apparently someone thought it a good idea to first
show a list of vaguely similar bug reports (which i think is a good
idea, but please skip the first captcha check if you know you will
require one later on anyway) I finally get a new and exciting error:

ERROR:
Email is already in use for an existing account

I'm getting kind of curious here, when designing the bug report tool was
one of the design goals 'keep the number of bug reports as small as
possible'? Because I think I'm probably not the first person to get a
bit frustrated at this point...

In this case, what is the problem with letting this bug report continue?
The script has already established that either I am a person or a
reasonably good AI, twice. Then it has apparently found that the email
address is valid, it has a user with that address, it says so itself.
But still I get an error with no obvious way to continue, without
entering all the data for the fourth time. There is already a process in
place to check if the given email address is correct and owned by the
submitter, through the confirmation message, why not use that?

I'll go one step further, I am more than willing to help in making the
bug report and registration process a bit more user friendly. I've been
a PHP developer since PHP v2, I think about 1997 or so. I'm one of the
designers of Ariadne (http://www.ariadne-cms.org/) and the hobby project
which started this quest is called Ripcord for now
(http://code.google.com/p/ripcord/).
