Introduced by reedy on Sept. 16. in r97301 and still present (tested up to r100519; last working version is r97300) we experience: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '*', expecting T_FUNCTION in /usr/share/mediawikistaging/phase3/includes/db/DatabaseMysql.php on line 388 Line 388 is "**/" above "function strencode( $s ) {" and is a nested php comment; the inner comment was introduced in r97301. Probably easy to fix, but out of curiosity: Why do not others experience this in the last 5 weeks? Does this depend on php versions? Our is http://biowikifarm.net/test/Special:Version - a standard Debian 5.
Works fine for me on 5.3.2 and 5.2.4 It seems like you had local modifications, and then svn upping has introduced something like a merge conflict Not my fault See below Lines 368-298 /** * @param $db * @return bool */ function selectDB( $db ) { $this->mDBname = $db; return mysql_select_db( $db, $this->mConn ); } /** * @param $s string * * @return string */ function strencode( $s ) { $sQuoted = mysql_real_escape_string( $s, $this->mConn ); if($sQuoted === false) { $this->ping(); $sQuoted = mysql_real_escape_string( $s, $this->mConn ); } return $sQuoted; } /** * MySQL uses `backticks` for identifier quoting instead of the sql standard "double quotes". * * @param $s string * * @return string */ public function addIdentifierQuotes( $s ) { return "`" . $this->strencode( $s ) .

I confirm: not your fault! Deleting the file and checking out again did solve the problem. However, I did repeatedly switch between 97300 and 97301 with svn and the error was fully reproducable and did not report a conflict, but ... My apologies and thanks!
http://biowikifarm.net/test (now with MediaWiki version 1.19, r100522 and MassEditRegex version r4) still produces a white screen for all edit attempts, although the results from the preview option look perfect.
