How do you stop QCODO load blank pages?

I've just been doing work on a PHP web project that uses QCODO. So my client could see changes I have made I setup an installation on a server of mine. So I used the latest XAMPP to get a web server, db and php running. Secured the default security holes using the security page and then copied the source to the web root ht docs folder.

Now for a number of hours, and much hair pulling (and believe me there isn't much hair there to begin with!) Every time I tried to load a page that utilised QCODO it just loaded a blank HTML page. Not very helpful!

Firstly, I found that you can get some more useful debug info (well I say useful, let's just say some debug info) when you comment out the ob_start('__ob_callback'); line (just prefix it with //) in the qcodo.inc.php file. You can find this file under your qcodo installation folder in includes/qcodo/_core. Rerun you pages and you now get some errors relating to a date function. Thanks to some other bloggers and forum writers out there this seems purely down to the version of PHP you are running against. Of course when I set my server up I was using the latest version of XAMPP which was budled with PHP 5.3 on my devbox I used XAMPP 1.7.0 which was using PHP 5.2.8 - and this version worked.

So for me the solution at the moment was to install a compatible version of PHP. It would appear QCODO is not currently worked on, and there is another project about called QCUBED which has taken on this work - but have yet to try. I will write anoter entry on here if I ever get the time!!
