I started using it on my site, but I wanted to say that I had to change one thing before it was valid XML -- in openidform.php, line 70, you'll want to change the section:<BR/>openid_logout=1&post_id=<BR/>to<BR/>openid_logout=1&post_id=<BR/><BR/>You may also want to make it more explicit that you need to create a writable tmp directory in the plugin folder.<BR/><BR/>Thanks again! Thanks for the work. I started using it on my site, but I wanted to say that I had to change one thing before it was valid XML — in openidform.php, line 70, you'll want to change the section:
openid_logout=1&post_id=
to
openid_logout=1&post_id=

You may also want to make it more explicit that you need to create a writable tmp directory in the plugin folder.

Thanks again!

The reason why I (and many others) change the PHP default for this ini value is that unless you change arg_separator.output to '&\amp;' (without the slash!) there is no other way of making PHPSESSID produce valid code.<BR/><BR/>See this PHP bug report I submitted:<BR/>http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=37835<BR/><BR/>Given that it is common to change this ini value (and there is no alternative ini value that could be correct for the context of the OpenID plugin) I suggest that the above line be added to your distribution.<BR/><BR/>Alternatively (and arguably the more corrrect approach) would be to replace the http_build_query function code with that from PHP-5.1+, which includes a third parameter to override the ini-specified separator. In order to get the OpenID server to work on my blog I had to add the following line to the top of openid-classes.php:

ini_set( 'arg_separator.output', '&' );

This reverts the parameter to the PHP default. The reason why I (and many others) change the PHP default for this ini value is that unless you change arg_separator.output to '&\amp;' (without the slash!) there is no other way of making PHPSESSID produce valid code.

See this PHP bug report I submitted:
http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=37835

Given that it is common to change this ini value (and there is no alternative ini value that could be correct for the context of the OpenID plugin) I suggest that the above line be added to your distribution.

Alternatively (and arguably the more corrrect approach) would be to replace the http_build_query function code with that from PHP-5.1+, which includes a third parameter to override the ini-specified separator.

I may look into it eventually, but as I keep saying, this is not my code so I can't promise anything :)<BR/><BR/>(NOTE: after communication with his hoster Dexter was able to precreate the folder needed and then the plugin worked fine) I would think that most people would have filesystem access in PHP… most free hoster's even have that!

The plugin this is based off of, however, used the file system and I am loath to change it for no particular reason. Yes, one can store the data anywhere one wants.
