I have not been here for a long time, but just recently my php5.ini and .htaccess file got deleted while trying to install a new script. I have shared linux hosting at godaddy, but I cannot seem to get the code required inside these two files that would be standard or basic.   Does anyone have a sample code I can use on these two files?   Thanks in advance!

I'm sure this issue has been addressed before, but as I can't find anything on google OR bing, I've resorted to asking it he

Since, ereg and eregi are deprecated in PHP5, how do you test strings using regular expressions? Is there a new function for this?

EDIT: I also looked on php.net, but all it says is its deprecated in PHP5. I didn't see any links to the new function(s) that have replaced the former.

I had a website running a XML script which worked perfectly but I have updated it by using XMLReader and PHP 5. However, there is a security update on PHP 5 which prevents me from accessing files on my server.

Someone has suggested I add a php.ini file with the following:

allow_url_fopen = on

allow_url_include = on

However I have also read that the whole purpose of the security update is to prevent this. Can someone advise me how I can get around this issue so that my server can read files and still operate by the PHP5 security update.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I just finished (or so I thought) a project. But my client's server runs PHP4, so I need to adapt my code. Here's what stopped working:

Code: [Select]
$localClasses = new DOMDocument;
$localClasses -> load("file.xml");
$localClasses -> get_elements_by_tagname('Title') -> item(0) -> firstChild -> nodeValue

Here's my petty attempt at trying to adapt this code to run in PHP4:

Code: [Select]

$file = file_get_contents("localClasses.xml");
$localClasses = new DOMDocument($file);

$test = $localClasses -> get_elements_by_tagname('Title');
$testText = $test -> item[0] -> firstChild -> nodeValue;
print $testText;


This doesn't give me any errors, but nothing shows up. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks for reading!

Been using these includes in php4 for a long time, but they don't work in php5.  Page loads, but included code is blank.

Code: [Select]
<?php include("http://www.xxxxxxxx.org/header.php"); ?>

 

I'm working on a website (for free) and the website owner has shared hosting w/ cPanel. When logged in to cPanel, the PHP version can be set to PHP5.5. So I did that. When logged in via SSH, scripts are still running on PHP5.3.   I found that /opt/alt/php55/usr/bin/php is a location of php5.5, but when I run my script, it gives an error that mysqli is not found.   As far as I know, this is probably just a typical cPanel install. If anyone can point me to the right way to run PHP5.5 from the command line, I'd appreciate it.

I am trying to convert a php4 app to php5 and am getting this error (Fatal error: Cannot re-assign $this in ) when I call this class.

$this = $this->createUnique($new); is the line that generates the error.

I try to rename $this to $_this but it does not help. I think I lose the reference to the object later on in the code.

Then I will get an error like (Fatal error: Call to a member function createUnique() on a non-object in)

Is there another way to reference the current instance of an object in php5?

Any help appreciated...



Code Example:
Code: [Select]
class imageobject{

var $handle;
var $height=0;
var $width=0;
var $directory;
var $filename;


//constructor
function imageobject($directory,$filename,$width=0,$height=0,$color="FFFFFF")
{
$this->directory = $directory;
$this->filename = $filename;

if ($filename=="" && $width>0 && $height>0){

$new = $this->createImage($width,$height);
$this = $this->createUnique($new);

}elseif (file_exists($directory.$filename)){
$size = GetImageSize($directory.$filename);
if ($size) $this->handle = $this->getHandle($directory.$filename,$size[2]);
$this->width = $size[0];
$this->height = $size[1];

}


function createUnique($imgnew)
{
$this->type = substr($this->output,0,3);

$unique_str = $this->uniqueName();
switch ($this->type){
case "png":
imagepng($imgnew,RES_DIR.$unique_str);
break;
default:
imagejpeg($imgnew,RES_DIR.$unique_str,$this->quality);
break;
}

$this->handle && imagedestroy($this->handle);
$newobject = new imageobject(RES_DIR,$unique_str,$this->type);
return $newobject;
}

)//end class

Most of my website is written in php4. My hosting server has support for both 4 and 5 just by changing file extension. .php which is the default supports 4, .php5 of course supports 5. The problem I am having is that the pages with the .php5 extensions are not recognizing session variables. Is there something I should be doing differently in 5 for my session variables?

For example a variable request like this returns 0

print $_SESSION['FULLNAME'];

Please Help!! Thank you in advance?

I'm a beginner in PHP I was wondering if this is easy to do or if i'd have to outsource this to a programmer -

Basically when a user fills in the PHP Form and submits it I need this to generate as a PDF which will then email/attach to MY email and NOT the user who submitted this form.

I have looked at tcpdf, fpdi but i dont think any of those scripts allow me to do this specifically as from what i heard it generates a download link for the user, and that is not what i need.

If anyone can help me it would be greatly appreciated.

In my view file, I instantiate User class and call two methods that have not been declared or initialized in the class:

$user = new Models\User();
$user->setFirstName('John');
$user->setLastName('Merlino');

echo $user->getFirstName() . " " . $user->getLastName();

However, I have two private members only available to instances:
   protected $first_name;
   protected $last_name;

Because I don't want to manually create privileged getters and setters for each of my private members, I use the call method:

   public function __call($name,$args){

      echo $name . "<br />";
      echo $args . "<br />";
      
   }   

Because my methods were not initialized, the interpreter calls the __call method as a last option resort, and passes the name of the method in local variable $name and if exists the arguments passed into the method in local variable $args. Ok so that makes sense. However, when I echo the values of the two variables, I see a blank array created:

setFirstName
Array
setLastName
Array
getFirstName
Array
getLastName
Array

See everytime I call it, there's an array being created. I don't see the purpose of this.


Also how often do you use __call() in your php applications, specifically when using MVC?

Thanks for response.

I have had a problem with some scripts I wrote (Screenscrapers) that worked great in PHP4, but stopped working the minute I upgraded to PHP5.

I can change all of my filenames to have the .PHP4 extension and this solves the problem, but since this encompasses a number of sites, internal links and hundreds of files, this is not my first choice solution.

Here is the scraper, what it does, is it takes items from the zazzle Results Page by category, strips out the formatting, adds my affiliate ID and then I can present these items on my page.

This works find in PHP4; not at all in PHP5.

My ideal solution would be an .htaccess file that I could put in any directory under PHP5 to make it default to php4.
I have tried this, to no avail (.htaccess):
Code: [Select]
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    AddType text/html .php4
    AddHandler php4-script .php .html php5
</IfModule>


I have also tried a few alternatives... this appears to be a common problem and I have scoured the web and found no solution.


Here are the two pages in PHP4 and PHP5:
php4: http://www.killersmiley.com/test/cool-smiley.php4
php5: http://www.killersmiley.com/test/cool-smiley.php

So this script did work in previous versions oh php but in php5 I get the error, "Sorry, uploaded images must be of type jpg or jpeg, (not )."
So it looks like it's not recognizing my file as a jpeg??

Any contributions towards a fix are GREATLY appreciated!!!   If there are clean, nice (EASY) php5 scripts available for this simple image uploading and thumbnail creation I would consider starting this over.

I have an application that was written back in PHP4 days and has ceased development ever since. PHP 4 is basically gone, i can't get it to install on any of my machines now and what i use on my windows boxes (XAMPP) doesn't include PHP4 anymore.

When i set everything up, i get ~50 of these:
Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in....

and on every line it looks like:
$var =& _____ or $var = &something... yada-yada

and removing the & symbol removes the error message. Using editplus i removed all the "=&" and "= &" and just replaced the & with space, i  had read on google PHP5 doesn't need it anymore so that should've worked.

But as my luck would have it, the server errors out with 500 code until i replace all the &'s back, and then the errors show up yet again.


Is there anyway to force php5 to run this program despite having php4 things in it?
