Hi,

I am running several shops using 2.2 RC2a and have received the following from my host (United Hosting)

Quote

This is a reminder that all UnitedHosting shared and reseller hosting servers will be upgraded from PHP 5.2 to PHP 5.3 next tuesday (10th January).

Now I am in a blind panic ! Which is the best thread to read on the minimum I need to do to ensure my shops still function?

Many Thanks

Heather,

Look at the deprecated ereg contribution.  It gives you most of the files that will be effected by the update.

Thanks Chris,

I will give it a go.............

[DunWeb]

Heather,

There may be a couple of issues after you have completed those updates, just let me know if you find more.  Some members have had issues with the SPLIT function found in older contributions and it is not addressed in the deprecated ereg contribution.

I have the same problem with the same hosts except I have version 2.3.1 United say all support  for PHP 5.2 will be discontinued. Does anyone know if this effects osC v2.3.1 also?

Oh yeh pardon the hijack

[DunWeb]

Rob,

A standard installation of osCommerce v2.3.1 is PHP 5.3 compatible but if you have add on installed you may have to make some minor changes to that code to remain compatible.

Hi Chris,

Installed the changes as per your post on one of my stores - and all is well (ie still working)

Currently Im downloading a copy of all the files and then intend doing a text search using Examine 32 to find any other instances of "ereg" or "Split" in the files that may be as a result of modifications - will this cover it do you think ?

Thanks

[Mort-lemur]

OK, Lots of files with the bad words in "ereg" - so Im working through updates

The first one being PHP Thumb - just updated to the latest version (1.7.11) which appears OK.

Now going to attempt "Dynamenu" update......

[Mort-lemur]

OK - Dynamenu fixed in includes/functions/dynamenu/lib/layersmenu-common.inc.php

From the post on 30 July 2011 here: http://forums.oscommerce.com/topic/209045-dynamenu-for-oscommerce/page__st__1040

The post is not quite correct for my version, but you can get the gist of the changes from it.

Hi Heather,

Just what I thought would happen.  Many contributions need to be updated to be PHP 5.3 compatible.

ditto everything here. United have said that they will let us roll back selected sites to 5.2 for up to 2 months, which gives us a bit more time. I have one site with 2.2 rac2a and one with2.3.1. PLEASE tell me that 2.3.1 is compatible? As for the 2.2 site, would now be a good time to go to 3.0.2? Is this "production" yet? On the subject of sorting out eregs, maybe somebody can tell me what is wrong with this:

ereg("$get_year-$get_month_no", $event->date)

changed to

preg_match("$get_year-$get_month_no", $event->date)?

I get error

preg_match() [function.preg-match]: Delimiter must not be alphanumeric or backslash

Thanks.

Justin,

3.0.2 is more than likely a year or more away from a production release so NO, don't think of using it.  v2.3.1 core code is PHP 5.3 compatible, however like the RC2a contributions you may find code in them that will have to be upgraded.

Ok - After spending all day with Google searching, I am now down to 6 files that need correcting for PHP 5.3. I cant find the answers so Im looking for some help here please. The files and code are as follows:

includes\functions\affiliate_functions.php  
    

return eregi("^https?://[a-z0-9]([-_.]?[a-z0-9])+[.][a-z0-9][a-z0-9/=?.&\~_-]+$",$url);

includes\functions\compatibility.php  

	  return ereg('^[0-9]{1,50}.?[0-9]{0,50}$', $param);
		  if(eregi("^$host", $line)) {

admin\create_account_process.php  
    

if (eregi($mail_pat, $email, $components)) {
	  if (eregi($user_pat, $user)) {
		if (eregi($ip_domain_pat, $domain, $ip_components)) {
		  if (eregi($domain_pat, $domain)) {

admin\includes\functions\sitemap.php   

if (eregi("<a(.*)</a", $lines[$i], $out))
		  if (eregi("tep_href_link((.*))", $out[1], $locn))

admin\includes\modules\newsletters\newsletter.php  
  

 if (eregi('^[-a-z0-9._]+@([-a-z0-9_]+\.)+[a-z]{2,6}$',$row['customers_email_address'])) {

admin\order_editor\functions.php  

 $keyword = ereg_replace("(,)|('s)", "", $keyword);

Any help would be great thanks - Now I need to sleep...

[Mort-lemur]

Hi,

Still searching.....

The first two files above are probably the most important to me - as they are on the Catalog side rather than Admin functions.

Thanks

[Mort-lemur]

Ok for
includes\functions\compatibility.php  
  

return ereg('^[0-9]{1,50}.?[0-9]{0,50}$', $param);
		  if(eregi("^$host", $line)) {

I have changed the 2 lines as follows:

return preg('/^[0-9]{1,50}.?[0-9]{0,50}$/', $param);
		  if(preg_match("/^$host/", $line)) {

No Idea if this is correct - but site still works and the changes seem in line with others.

[Mort-lemur]

In : includes\functions\affiliate_functions.php

I have changed:

return eregi("^https?://[a-z0-9]([-_.]?[a-z0-9])+[.][a-z0-9][a-z0-9/=?.&\~_-]+$",$url);

To:

return preg_match("/^https?://[a-z0-9]([-_.]?[a-z0-9])+[.][a-z0-9][a-z0-9/=?.&\~_-]+$/",$url);

Ditto above re correctness - would someone like to give me a warm feeling ??
