Installer needs fixing

[JeDaYoshi]

I was gonna try out installing WWXD locally. It did land me to /preinstall.php

After I did put the MySQL, it did ask me the owner credentials - but before I could put anything I was redirected to /install.php! And if you tried again that'd be like a loop.

[NightScript370]

Yeah, that's something on the PHP side of things. Most likely, its the tag, we should change that with something else that won't imput the form.

[JeDaYoshi]

I did this little workaround but after that the /index.php/config/database.php error then:
Fatal error: Only variables can be passed by reference in /home/jeda/www/board/lib/yaml.php on line 732

Yeah, the code needs some fixing.

[Repflez]

I'm pretty sure the installer doesn't need the yaml library at all.

Rewriting the installer is an option.

[JeDaYoshi]

@Repflez actually that was the board and not the installer, but yeah, installer would be good if it'd be rewritten.

[NightScript370]

Yeah, we should rewrite it. But I want it to be like the ABXD one, where there are some pages for the install...

[Repflez]

@JeDa Are you running php with E_ALL ^ E_STRICT enabled? It shouldn't crash and burn with it.

[JeDaYoshi]

@Repflez it is a fatal error, the board doesn't loads because that error in yaml.php. using PHP 7.0 btw

[Repflez]

@JeDa Huh, Will look into it in php 7.1.15 later this week (or next.)

[NightScript370]

@JeDa Does it work now?

[JeDaYoshi]

Fatal error: Only variables can be passed by reference in /home/jeda/www/otherboard/lib/yaml.php on line 738

nope

[NightScript370]

Ahh, maybe it's because I changed preg_replace to str_replace.

Let me go fix that, brb...

Spacy: Done! Please test now.
