 Posted: Wed Aug 03, 2011 8:04 am Post subject: Old and new php do not play nice together.. |
 |
|
I am finding out that my code that works well with the 5.2.x branch of PHP does NOT work the same with the 5.3.x branch. Happy Happy Joy Joy!!
Basically I have a my PC setup as a Local Webserver so I can test things out without blowing up my live site as much. Now I have to find a middle ground where things work on both since the live server will be updated at some point in the future.
The really annoying part is it's only a few bits of code and I am at this point completely lost on what to fix and how... I can see hours of banging my head against the desk in my future

http://php.net/releases/5_3_0.php for an idea, i'm pretty sure all changes are in there in detail and they give pointers on what to adjust in your code.

don't see anything related to variables.
| Quote: |
Notice: Undefined variable: part_numbers in C:\www\common\board.tpl on line 173
Notice: Undefined variable: part_numbers in C:\www\common\board.tpl on line 175
Unknown |
| Code: |
172 <td colspan="2">
173 <p><?php if ($part_numbers == true) {
174 echo ($part_numbers);
175 } else if ($part_numbers == false) {
176 echo "Unknown";}?></p></td>
|
several of the blocks have the _ in the variables but there are a couple that don't that act the same way on the test server. I have tried renaming the variables but even renames don't help if the variable = false.
| Code: |
<p align="left"><b>Notes:</b><br> <?php if ($Update == true) {
echo ($Update);
} else if ($Update == false) {
echo 'The bios program has been altered to a Compaq specific version. It is not recommended to flash back to the original. If anyone does this successfully please notify us by <a href="mailto:webmaster@ctechinfo.net">email</a>.';}?></p>

The above is whats going on with the test server. the live server has no issues with the broken code.

result = success on both test server and live server...

Not quite sure how that fits in evasive...
| Code: | <td colspan="2">
<p><?php if (isset($processors)) {
echo ($processors);
} else {
echo "Unknown";}?></p>
</td>
</tr> |
is how I changed the code so it work on both the old php and new..

Just that you are running 5.3.x somewhere and should wait with upgrading.
