php 7.2 - updating CE

[burt 5,435]

I've a little bit of time in hand and it seems like this is the next necessary thing to solve, the use of php7.2.  But I need your help to point out any problematic area so that attention can be given to them.

To help...you'll need an installation of CE (any flavour that is Frozen or later) running on php 7.2 - with error reporting dialled right up.  To set up error_reporting to show everything that is wrong:

includes/application_top.php

• Find:
  
  error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~E_DEPRECATED & ~E_STRICT);
   
• Change to:
  
  ini_set('display_errors', 1);
  ini_set('display_startup_errors', 1);
  error_reporting(E_ALL);

admin/includes/application_top.php

• Find:
  
  error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);
  
  if (defined('E_DEPRECATED')) {
    error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~E_DEPRECATED);
  }
   
• Change to:
  
  ini_set('display_errors', 1);
  ini_set('display_startup_errors', 1);
  error_reporting(E_ALL);

Save both files.  Obviously...you DO NOT want to do this on a live shop as it will show errors to your customers, so hopefully a few people have a test shop to play with...

Now if you browse your test shop...all warning and errors will appear. 

Thank you in advance.

Please copy/paste the following as a reply:

Maybe set up to have errors output to a file, so that even the owners of live shops can help as well?

In general, it's considered bad to display errors to the public, as that can give hackers valuable information. Sending detailed errors to a log file would be good, with maybe just a generic "sorry, something went sideways" message to the public. Now, how can you capture error output (to stdout, I presume, which gets folded into the page) if such a thing can happen just about anywhere? Do error messages have a distinctive "look" to them, so that if you could capture all output to a string,  and before releasing that string ("print") to the browser, look through it for error messages and remove them? Offhand, I'm not sure how that could be done, at least across a wide range of servers.

PHP allows all error's to be sent to a error_log file, but you need to edit your php.ini file to do this.

Most people will not have access to the php.ini file so it's simlply best to ask your host to turn on error logging for your site.

Then simlpy check your error_log file for any errors beeing logged.

If you feel upto it and have access to your php.ini then this blog shows you how to do it.

Hi Gary,

Could you please post a download link of the preferable version to test with?
I've been running with php7.2 for quite a while, so might be of assistance here.
Unfortunatly I work with no stock versions, so comparing will not be as simple, but could set up a testshop too.

Live shop so just quoting from the error log. This is the most commonly reported warning.

Store side: Bestseller box: <li> dot shows outside the box

[MrPhil 648]

As PHP 7.2 is now fairly well established (and PHP 7.3 is starting to show up), any thoughts on how "Frozen" could be upgraded to work on 7.2 and up? If there are a lot of changes to make, perhaps general guidelines would be in order, rather than an exhaustive list of fixes (or even an add-on!). This would still leave a lot of work to be done by shop owners, but it may be the best we can do. Add-ons will be yet another issue.

I presume that Edge is/will be PHP-7.2 ready out of the box, but there are still a lot of people on Frozen just because it's nice and stable. That's the one that I install for clients. Once Slushee comes out (next freeze of Edge), that is at least PHP-7.2 ready, I would assume that any further work on Frozen would cease.

And oh, how about calling the next one osC 2.3.5? It's obvious that HPDL is never going to accept any of Gary's work as the official product, and he's probably never going to release another osC, so why not ease the confusion?

[burt 5,435]

I'm slowly but surely, as and when I can give time, updating the software. 

Thanks to all who are helping the software to move forward 👍

[burt 5,435]

With a big thanks to @Heatherbell I have a day next week and a day the week after to commence work on;

• fixing php7.2 warnings and errors
• translating old x.x (some of which relates to php4!) php code to newer 7.x formatted code

In the meantime, if anyone sees any more errors/warnings please reply to this thread stating what the error says and where you found it (eg an URL) or how you made the error appear (eg only happens when pressing edit on XYZ module) and so on.  As much details as you can give would be very helpful.

[♥altoid 153]

Gary is this pertaining just to edge core related errors?  I have some add ons that are causing some notices, etc.

[burt 5,435]

Just for core related at the moment...
