Im trying to run a project that uses phppowerpoint on a linux server. Its working ok on windows. But when I put my project online, the same way it is on my wamp server, its doesnt work. It seems like its having problems with case sensitive. The thing is that I didnt change any of the original files of this library. Im calling the names of the files right, but everytime I run it, it gives me problems with requires, includes, paths, etc.. Do I need to change something to make it work on a linux server? This the first error that it shows:

Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required 'PHPPowerPoint/Slide.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear') in /storage/.../phppowerpoint/PHPPowerpoint.php on line 30

I think that the problem is with this line

set_include_path(get_include_path() . PATH_SEPARATOR . 'Classes/');

The way this set_include_path is, it wont work on a linux server?

The problem is as you said case sensitive issue...

This is the case: In the `Classes folder there is a file and a folder

  1. Folder: PHPPowerpoint
  2. File: PHPPowerpoint.php

Notice that in both of them the word point has a lowercase letter p

Then in the code, all the references are going to PHPPowerPoint

Notice that the word Point has an uppercase letter P

This is the origin of all the errors.

So All you need to do is to rename those two folder and file in the Classes folder and make the letter P for the Point to the uppercase...

You do not have to change the code and make them lowercase, because in the library itself also all the references are to PHPPowerPoint with capital P

To sum thing up, you have to have these file and folder in the Classes folder:

  1. Folder: PHPPowerPoint
  2. File: PHPPowerPoint.php

Hope you would find it useful...
