Sphider 2.4.1, legacy and PDO is a minor update to 2.4.0. The "major" work went into updated some SQL error messages in the unlikely event any SQL statement fails to prepare properly. There was a correction to some code that prevented indexing from a browser for some sites. Also an addition to ensur...

This issue has been resolved! In Sphider 2.4.0, lines 86-89: } elseif (isset($_SERVER['argv']) && $_SERVER['argc'] < 2) { commandLineHelp(); die(); } we commented out the elseif, thus: } /*elseif (isset($_SERVER['argv']) && $_SERVER['argc'] < 2) { commandLineHelp(); die(); }*/ It seems that ON SOME ...

Spider 2.4.0 MIGHT have this issue for SOME users. There is a POSSIBILITY that Sphider 2.4.0 may refuse to index a site from a browser window. If instead of seeing indexing results you get something like: 240results.JPG then the problem is likely in spider.php, lines 86-89. Change this: } elseif (is...

Sphider 3-MB will replace all standard string operations with multi-byte string (mbstring) operations. This will ensure proper ...

The availability of Sphider 2.4.x-PDO will continue. However, there will be no more future enhancements to the PDO edition, although some minor maintenance release(s) may be expected.

Now that Sphider 2.4.0 is released, I've gone back to your site. I've found the the function removeEmoji(0 in and of itself was not the problem, but its placement. So, in future releases this: $host = $data['host']; $path = $data['path']; $fulltxt = $data['fulltext']; $fulltxt = removeEmoji($fulltxt...

The latest version of Sphider is now available.

The problem of the "&" in the title disappearing and leaving "nbsp;" is resolved in Sphider 2.4. Also in the titles, the missing apostrophes are restored. Second issue is the truncation occurring in the description. This occurs when the apostrophe (&apos:) character is encountered. Sphider gets the ...
