I'm going to answer my own question -- the problem was with php. I had upgraded to php5, and neglected to install the php module php4-ctype.

Hi,

I'm trying to import some xml into my wiki. When I used importDump.php in 1.6.3, it worked fine. Now, with 1.8.1, I get this error after a few hundred pages are imported:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function ctype_alpha() in /usr/local/www/data-dist/www.pictureguides.com/extensions/ParserFunctions/Expr.php on line 172

I'm running:

FreeBSD 5.4 PHP 5 MySql 4.0.24 MediaWiki 1.8.1

Thanks for any help.
