1: ad_proc for 3.2.5?
Posted by David Kuczek on 12/17/02 11:04 AM
Did anyone backport ad_proc to 3.2.5?

Until yesterday I had a version that was working, but I got an error that looks rather hard to track. It seems that the starting "-" in one of my database entries makes trouble...

For now I just altered the specific proc from ad_proc to proc_doc and it works. It would be nicer to have a working ad_proc version though.

Here the error message: 


    Error: Unrecognized argument - Erstellung eines Marketingkompendiums
    ... bla bla bla ...

        while executing
    "error "Unrecognized argument $arg""

Did you try adding a "--" between your switches (if any) and the beginning of your arguments?  The "--" signifies that the subsequent arguments are not switches.  For instance:

    ad_text_to_html -- $text
