Problem with vB 3.8.7 & php 5.3.8

[matipeacemaker]

Hi guys, first of all, English is not my native language, so excuse my way of writing.
Well..
I am having a problem with my vBulletin 3.8.7 platform .
By submitting a post on a thread, it is sent empty, this problem started to happen after the installation of PHP 5.3.8.
had someone a similar problem to mine? I really need a hand over here

PHP 5.3.8 does not play well with vb 3 at all. You either need to downgrade your php version or upgrade your vb version to 4.

Thanks men!

then? nothing to do? migrate vb only is the solution? or downgrade php...

[Boofo]

Yep, that's about all you can do.

Hi friends

you need to downgrade your php library PCRE to version 8.20

after the downgrade

no more problems

Good to know. I've never personally downgraded PHP versions. You should be fine to use PHP 5.3.8 on vB 4.1.9, though. That's what I'm using on vB 4.1.8.

is correct i made the downgrade and fix the problem too

thank u =)

i´m using vbulletin 4.1.9 and works fine after this change

That must only show up if you have upgraded from vb 3 to a version of vb 4. I started out this time around on vb 4 so I have never run into this.
