The Compatibility ( http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Compatibility ) page states that MediaWiki 1.19.x branch is compatible with PHP 5.2.3+ The core extensions ConfirmEdit, Gadgets and Renameuser use the __DIR__ magic constant that is available in PHP 5.3.0+ only. Had to use the following command as a temporary fix: find . -type f -exec sed -i 's/__DIR__/dirname(__FILE__)/g' {} \;
I am afraid this needs three separate bug reports against each extension (under the "MediaWiki extensions" product) - in the bottom corner there is a "Clone" button that could save some time. I assume you checked this against the REL1_19 branches of these three extensions?
I downloaded the archive from the Download page: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Download Those extensions are included in the core package by default, so I suppose that whoever compiles that archive will need to either downgrade the modules to the versions compatible with 5.2.3+ or the Compatibility page will need to be updated to state the version correctly.
