Lewis and all,

I now have Zen-Cart working on my system (WSeB, Apache 2.2.13, php 5.3.0
and mySQL 5.1.36)

The problems had to do with the changes made to or more specifically in
PHP 5.3.0. Those changes made the code in Zen-Cart fail. Did the
following things, and now have Zen-Cart back up and working. Thanks to
Lewis for making me test this, since I would have waited a couple of
months before doing anything with the cart.

Thanks to several Zen-Cart "masters" for finding what needed to be
changed. You can use any text search engine to find the other occurances
of 'date_diff' and change them as shown in the following:

= = = = =
- Prefix 'set_magic_quotes_runtime' with '@' in application_top.php
(there are two files with this name, one in includes and one in
/admin/includes). There are other uses of set_magic_quotes_runtime in
the code, but I'll deal with them as I come to them.

- Replace "ereg('thing', $other)" with "preg_match('/thing/', $other)",
as noted by Andy Whittaker.
one file that has a problem is
includes/classes/db/mysql/query_factory.php
Calls such as "ereg('^[0-9]', $key)" need to be replaced by
"preg_match('/^[0-9]/', $key)" in several places,
note the / / surrounding the string."

- 'date_diff' is now a keyword in PHP 5.3.0
(http://th2.php.net/manual/en/function.date-diff.php) so change the
function to something like zen_date_diff in:
admin/orders.php
admin/includes/header.php
admin/includes/modules/orders_download.php
admin/includes/functions/general.php
includes/modules/payment/paypal/paypal_functions.php
includes/functions/functions_general.php

Thanks, Joe. This is all very good information to have. Now to see
whether your system behaves any better and how these mods turn out once
you start seeing some traffic.

Cheers.

I haven't scanned my files, though you will likely encounter those
statements in multiple places. FWIW, the thread which Joe referenced is
apparently here:

http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?p=774374

Just scan your Zen-Cart tree and/or do a search/replace via Perl or
something, and you'll find those lines. Joe: you didn't mention which
version of ZC you've got installed; I'm assuming 1.3.8...

Cheers/2

That is correct Lewis. Thanks for jogging my memory. It is 1.3.8.

Seems that when it rains, it pours. Not only did I have web server
problems (presently resolved), wife broke her leg, and I am the resident
nurse/driver/cook for 4.5 more weeks (at least), - just call me "Mr. Mom".

Hi everyone,

I was pointed in this direction for a fix to my Zen Cart by my hosting
company who have upgraded to PHP 5.3 without even telling me.

I have done all that has been suggested and the site is now working
but the admin control panel is not. I get the following errors:

*****************************

Any ideas on how to fix this??

Have you read thoroughly
http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?p=774374 ? It sounds like
magic quotes are still enabled (for one). If the rest of the site is
working, then search your admin files for "set_magic_quotes_runtime" and
prefix with "@".

What would also help would be knowing your ZC version and some pertinent
data from phpinfo() (magic quotes, etc.).

Again, per Andy Whittaker's post referenced above:

ZC has forked much of its code from OS Commerce, the original project.
This page should help:

Hope the above is of some help.

I still run my ZC installations under PHP 4, simply because they have
not officially supported PHP 5 (in any flavor) up to this point (unless
I missed an announcement somewhere). I know that many people have had
good results with pre-5.3 builds of PHP 5, but I've tried to stick with
what's supported in that regard.

Cheers.

Geez... Sorry to hear of your run of bad luck, buddy.

On the bright side, things could always be worse. All the best to the
misses for a speedy recovery.

You can do this using the Developers Tool Kit under Zencarts Admin
panel. Use the "Look-up in all files" and enter the function name in
the "Key or Name:" input and select "All files - Catalog/Admin" in the
dropdown.

Of course, if the admin panel is broken, as Kevin seems to indicate,
then this method won't quite yield the desired result... ;-)

that's why the made mc and other tools that can/do search out the specific text
strings and point out which files they reside in :P :)
