[Typo3] htmlArea RTE Extension

[Albert van der Veen]

Hello Emma,

The piece of code that generates the error defines a variable 
'MY_PATH_thisScript' according to the value of environment variables. It 
gets one of these values: $_SERVER['ORIG_PATH_TRANSLATED'], 
$_SERVER['ORIG_PATH_TRANSLATED'], $_SERVER['ORIG_SCRIPT_FILENAME'] or 
$_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']
If you check the environment variables of your typo3 server (with phpinfo() 
) you will see that ORIG_PATH_TRANSLATED doesn't exist. Hence the error. 
The reason for this check is a change in the naming of variables in php 
4.3.2 and higher:

Old Variable Name:

ORIG_PATH_TRANSLATED
ORIG_PATH_INFO
ORIG_SCRIPT_NAME
ORIG_SCRIPT_FILENAME

New Variable Name (PHP 4.3.2):

PATH_TRANSLATED
PATH_INFO
SCRIPT_NAME
SCRIPT_FILENAME

The quick-and-dirty way to get rid of the error is to replace (in 
t3_popup.php and rtehtmlarea_select_image.php):

define('MY_PATH_thisScript',str_replace('//','/', str_replace('\\','/', 
(php_sapi_name()=='cgi'||php_sapi_name()=='xcgi'||php_sapi_name()=='isapi' 
||php_sapi_name()=='cgi-fcgi')&&($_SERVER['ORIG_PATH_TRANSLATED']?$_SERVER['ORIG_PATH_TRANSLATED']:$_SERVER['PATH_TRANSLATED'])? 
($_SERVER['ORIG_PATH_TRANSLATED']?$_SERVER['ORIG_PATH_TRANSLATED']:$_SERVER['PATH_TRANSLATED']):($_SERVER['ORIG_SCRIPT_FILENAME']?$_SERVER['ORIG_SCRIPT_FILENAME']:$_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']))));

with:

define('MY_PATH_thisScript',str_replace('//','/', str_replace('\\','/', 
$_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME'])));

or

define('MY_PATH_thisScript',str_replace('//','/', str_replace('\\','/', 
$_SERVER['PATH_TRANSLATED'])));

(depending on which env var exists, probably both? - my knowledge on this 
matter is minimal)

Of course, this is not a 'final' solution, but it should work with your 
configuration. The check for the existence of the env vars should be 
modified (I think, or did I miss something?). I will mail the author to 
check this.

Hope this helps!

regards,
Albert van der Veen
