Guest Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 I attempted to install oscommerce, and it said the installation was finished but there was an PHP error that came on the top of the page: Deprecated: Methods with the same name as their class will not be constructors in a future version of PHP; PasswordHash has a deprecated constructor in /homepages/7/d658059603/htdocs/oscommerce-2.3.3.4/catalog/includes/classes/passwordhash.php on line 32 When I click on the links that say Online Store and Administration Tool, I get the following errors on repeat over and over again: Deprecated: Methods with the same name as their class will not be constructors in a future version of PHP; shoppingCart has a deprecated constructor in /homepages/7/d658059603/htdocs/oscommerce-2.3.3.4/catalog/includes/classes/shopping_cart.php on line 13 Deprecated: Methods with the same name as their class will not be constructors in a future version of PHP; logger has a deprecated constructor in /homepages/7/d658059603/htdocs/oscommerce-2.3.3.4/catalog/admin/includes/classes/logger.php on line 13 I have no idea why this stuff comes up or how and where to fix it.

♥raiwa Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Hello Maria @@geniaquaria, It seems you have installed version 2.3.4 or 2.3.4 Bootstrap. They are not yet compatible with PHP 7. You should run a PHP version not higher than 5.5. The new version 2.4 which is in beta test phase will allow to run under PHP 7. Anyway make sure to use the 2.3.4 Bootstrap responsive community version for a new installation. You can download it here: https://github.com/gburton/osCommerce-234-bootstrap/archive/master.zip rgds Rainer About Me: http://www.oscommerce.com/forums/user/249059-raiwa/ Need help?

multimixer Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 You should run a PHP version not higher than 5.5. What is the problem with PHP 5.6 ?

MrPhil Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Isn't osC 2.3.4BS Edge PHP 7-ready? Not Gold. I suspect that the OP installed regular osC 2.3.4, which is not 7-ready, and may not even be 5.6-ready (it's quite old). Unfortunately, Harald has really been missing the boat and is killing osCommerce by his failure to promote 2.3.4BS on the download page, or even better, offering it as a 2.3.5 official release. I know he wants to get 2.4 out, but it could be years before it's the official release, and in the meantime, 2.3.4 grows ever older... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥raiwa Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 What is the problem with PHP 5.6 ? OK, for production purpose with the standard error reporting set to: error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE); it should be ok, but with: error_reporting(E_ALL); undefined constant and variable errors are showing up under php 5.6 That's why I still run 2.3.4 EDGE under 5.5, but for develop purposes. EDIT: just checked and found that the errors also show under 5.5, so I must be wrong, thought there was some reason, then if 5.5 is ok, 5.6 should be too. Isn't osC 2.3.4BS Edge PHP 7-ready? Not Gold. I suspect that the OP installed regular osC 2.3.4, which is not 7-ready, and may not even be 5.6-ready (it's quite old).

MrPhil Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 undefined constant and variable errors are showing up under php 5.6 If you're getting those errors on PHP 5.5 or 5.6 (or 7.0, for that matter), those are serious bugs and need to be fixed ASAP. It's OK to temporarily suppress them on a production system so that visitors don't see the site innards (the messy side of sausage making), but don't ignore them. If it's just a matter of tweaking error_reporting(), I don't see that as a sufficient reason to use a back-level PHP. No code should be let out in the first place if it's producing undefined constant and variable errors -- that's basic checking and cleanup that needs to be done before release. Of course, it could be on a very rarely used code path, in which case it's somewhat excusable. It could also be something strange with your system, and neither the developer nor most users see it! If language syntax changes and deprecated items (e.g., constructor names) are showing up, that would be reason to go back-level until the matter is resolved. They could be suggesting that more subtle problems are lurking in the code. Latest EDGE has still not the PHP7 compatibility commits merged. Most class contructors are not updated yet. Huh. I thought I had read that EDGE was fully PHP 7 ready. My bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm referring to errors showing up only if error reporting is set to "all", they show up with unmodified, fresh installed 2.3.4 EDGE. These are not critical errors or serious bugs.

MrPhil Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 If an unmodified, fresh out-of-the-box installation is showing undefined constants and variables, I certainly consider those to be serious. We can agree to disagree on the seriousness of this, but I won't release code out that has such obvious problems. It makes the developer look bad that such things were let through.

Guest Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 The latest version I downloaded was corrupted so I downloaded the previous release, that seemed to work fine... I have the store at http://geniaquaria.com/catalog/index.php, can't seem to figure out how to redirect http://geniaquaria.com to that page. I tried doing HTTP redirect and change the webspace destination but the site just broke down on me again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥kymation Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 You need to set up your redirect (or server web base directory) before installing osCommerce. Or you can change the references in osC by hand, but that's harder. There is nothing wrong with the latest version. Your download was just corrupted. Go download it again, and install it after you get your redirect in place. Regards Jim See my profile for a list of my addons and ways to get support.

I tried doing HTTP redirect and change the webspace destination but the site just broke down on me again. How did you attempt to redirect it? The following .htaccess code should work on an Apache server: RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/catalog [NC] RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /catalog/$1 [L] Or something close to that... some servers have quirks you may need to work around. It usually won't work on Microsoft (Windows) servers or Nginx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
