Fatal error: Call to undefined function: preg_split()

[lukaszja]

Hi everybody!
I tried to install coppermine gallery on my friends server. He told me, he has all function i need (MySQL, PHP ver 4.2.3 ect.). I uploaded all files, changed access to some directories using chmod as it was wrote in tutorial and wanted to start install.php.
I got only:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: preg_split() in /home/users/lukaszja/public_html/coppermine/install.php on line 21

where line 21 of install.php is:  

$DIR=preg_split("/[\/\\\]/",dirname($_SERVER['PATH_TRANSLATED']));

whats up?
thx for answer!

preg_split is a built-in php function.  If you get that error, there's a problem with PHP.  You should try searching the web for Call to undefined function: preg_split, and maybe check out www.php.net for more help.  You should also tell your friend about it, since it's his server.

HI!
Unfortunatelly, my friend is already passing exams, so he couldn't help me!
Any other ideas, what can I do with this bug?
I read, that it may be a probelm with some strings in php.ini configuration file? Is it true? Which one?
thx for replay, lukaszja

You might want to get a webhost that is available 24/7.

Hi!
Could you write something more about webhost? Especially, what's this and where can i get it?
Google gives me a lot pages and informations about it!
Please be patient, i'm a lawyer...

a webhost is someone who let's you have webspace on his server and runs the server for you (that's what you friend currently does for you). TranzNDance was suggesting you get someone to host your web site who is available for support, as we can't help you with this issue, you either need your friend's help or you need to find a good webhost. Check the "general discussion" board, there's a thread about webhost recommendations.
