hi there, im playing around with a upgrade of vb to maybe 4.2.3 and have found that it requires php 5.4, problem is if i change from 5.2.17 to 5.4 my custom php files wont work

is there a easy fix for this??
or do i need to go 4.2.2 as this is 5.2.17 friendly

any help appreciated thanx:up:

we would have to be able to see your custom files code to figure out what is wrong with them, but it sounds like you are using deprecated functions.

Without at least errors, we can only guess.

basically the code controls many different php pages, also the custom software has to require 2 other modified files header.php,global.php

but if i change the php to 5.4 nothing works

4.2.3 requires 5.4 and 3.8.9 requires 5.3 or above we are currrently on 3.7.1

i can provide some code which is from the home.php file which works on 5.2.17 but not 5.4

PHP Code:


			
<?php

// number of news items to show on home page:
$news_items = 5;

//########################

require_once("header.php");  // header calls /boards/global.php

$username=$vbulletin->userinfo['username'];
$userid=$vbulletin->userinfo['userid'];
$usergroupid=$vbulletin->userinfo['usergroupid'];
$totalposts=vb_number_format($vbulletin->userinfo['posts']);
$token=$vbulletin->userinfo['securitytoken'];

function is_member()
{
    // are we a member ?
    if($GLOBALS['usergroupid'] != "1" AND $GLOBALS['usergroupid'] != "2" AND $GLOBALS['usergroupid'] != "3") return TRUE; else return FALSE;
}

if(is_member)
{
    $chat_link = "http://www/chat/login.php";
    $shop_link = "/shop/";
    $class_link = "/boards/forumdisplay.php?f=14";

    $class_link = "/guest.php";
    $articles_link = "/guest.php";

Please enclose that PHP in the PHP bbcode, to make it more readable.
Also, whe you change to PHP v5.4 does it give any errors, or just nothing at all?

Also, try changing all the <? to <?php

r5mjh · #5 12-30-2015, 06:48 PM

ok im not a total noob lol but im not up on the bbcode part, ive just duplicated on another part of the server using a different forum database all works correctly on 5.2.17 but as soon as i put it on 5.4 the custom php pages stop working not the vb itself

we have loads of custom tabs that all work with vb and none work with 5.4 php

No worries

Right, I understand that vBulletin works, but your custom pages do not. However, do they generate any errors, or just blank pages?

Also, in your PHP pages change <? to <?php some installs are strict requiring the full tag

Strange, that change shouldn't affect it in PHP 5.2
I'm not sure if they will still work on vb v4 since they were written for v3. I would copy your forums to a test site and try the upgrade see what errors you get, if any

r5mjh · #9 01-01-2016, 03:17 PM

thanx matey ill do that next

1 more question, does vb only use 1 database even if you choose to put albumpictures to the database? ive got 2 they look linked

Yes, vb only uses 1 DB, unless you have a custom mod which changes this
