change file /wp-admin/includes/file.php, line 484 (2.7.1) as follows
from
require_once(ABSPATH . 'wp-admin/includes/class-pclzip.php');
to
if(! class_exists('PclZip')) { require_once(ABSPATH . 'wp-admin/includes/class-pclzip.php');}
host supports it. But do some page-scraping against ucomics site that requires me doing a remote file read that I haven’t sat down to find a more graceful way to make work in PHP5.. at the bottom of my Blog, americasblood.com I pull in all the daily available editorial cartoons against a list of all possible ones. it’s pretty heavy in checking back up to 3 days worth of any artists stuff, and I have to read the existence (or not) of a jpeg file… I may start doing all the checking in GD, but that’s a good-sized rewrite.
