VB 3.8.7 and PHP 5.4

[Hall of Famer]

Well I heard that VB3.8 aint compatible with PHP 5.4, one of the big issues is the deprecated call-time refernece ampersand & symbols. VB support staff told me there were other things incompatible with PHP 5.4, I wonder what they are.

Can anyone of you please give me a list of such incompatibilities between VB 3.8 and PHP 5.4? It does not need to be a detailed description of every line I need to modify, a general picture is perfectly fine with me. A good example is, well, 'this syntax used in VB3.8 is no longer valid in PHP 5.4'. I do not need to know all locations this syntax is used, I just need to know which syntax it is.

Check this out http://php.net/manual/en/migration54.php

Are you kidding me? Just tell people to learn from php.net or w3school.com? If so, what does this subforum have to exist in the first place? lol

I am here asking for what is inside VBulletin 3.8 that I need to modify, although not really for detailed list of every little thing like the location of each line. A general picture will be good, like what kind of script in VB aint compatible with PHP 5.4.

That migration manual actually shows you whats changed, simply do a text search through vb files for the things that have changed and change them - am i kidding? errrr no!

Alright, guess I should say thank you for the unhelpful answer?

Your wrong, it was helpful, i think you have the attitude like that because i couldn't provide you a definitive list of thing in vb that need changing, but with the help of a text program for find and replace you can go through that manual page and change the things needed.

I may want to re-think your attitude, its unlikely anyone will want to help you with posts like that.
No one is here just to just blindly do all the work for you. The information provided is helpful and can be used to work out what might need to be changed.

@Simon Lloyd:
Oh yeah, you seriously believe I didnt know there exists a page on PHP called 'Migrating from PHP 5.x.x to PHP 5.x+1.x' before I came here? I was asking for something specifically related to Vbulletin 3.8, not what has become deprecated in PHP 5.4.

@Paul M:
Was I asking for someone to code for me? Doing ALL the work for me? lol. I just intended to ask what were the things in VB3.8 that became deprecated in PHP 5.4, and in fact I plan to fix these myself just after I got a list of things to fix. All I got instead was an answer 'You should go to PHP.NET!'. Its just like a newbie asking how to learn PHP and you say 'read PHP's manual ' or 'Go to w3school.com'. If thats the way you answer questions, there's no need for this subforum to exist at all. Its better this thread left unanswered or dead rather than insult me with crap like this.

[Simon Lloyd]

Sigh!

Oh yeah, you finally got it. Anyway, if this is the way you guys answer questions here, it may be a good idea to just close down this forum and leave a note:

"Got a problem? Go to PHP.net and w3schools.com".

Just like the magic quote "Google is your friend", it works doesnt it?
