PLEASE HELP!!! PHP upgrade to 5.4.4

Hi Please can you help!!!
Our hosting provider is upgrading the php from 5.3.3 to 5.4.4. The modules on Sporter do not work on 5.4.4 and just shows code. What can I do to upgrade?
Thanks

What is the code say, is it an error code? Can you ask your host not to update your php version?

This is what is shown on screen instead of the modules. this happens for all the modules. Thanks

These are not errors, they are simply notices, your site will still work fine.

What is your joomla version and module version. Try updating them to latest version if its compatible with your joomla version.

If there is no update to your module then try turning off error reporting in joomla admin > global configuration > server > error reporting.

Alternatively contact your host to disable error reporting in your server.

I'm using version 2.5.4. Have had error reporting disabled on server side and from global config and still shows the same. Thanks for the quick response.

Send me an admin access where I can check your site please. You can send the details to my email normanuk[at]live.co.uk

Please include this topic subject as your email subject so I know it is from you.

Just for your information problem is not about fixing these notices as you will also get them from other components or extensions.

message sent – thanks!

I can see your site is running php 5.3.3.7 and everything is working.

Where did you see these errors?

The servers are being upgraded to 5.4.4, when changed to 5.4.4 the modules you get the message text

I can fix these errors by running a test server with php 5.4.4 but please note you will see same notices in other components or extensions.

So easier way is to not to display these E-Strict messages. In your php.ini for your server your host needs to add this.

Thanks, can you explain further... Thanks

They need to change error reporting feature to not to display strict standards messages and or notices such as below configuration.

Code: Select all

error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_DEPRECATED & ~E_STRICT


Which will display error messages and hide notices and strict standards messages.

Hi, I have requested them to add the line of text, they say I need to upgrade the modules. I have done and still get the messages.... What else can I do?

I don't understand why your host can't simply disable notices from showing in your server.

If you have a testing account with php 5.4+ send me your ftp access and I ll fix our modules error but you are still going to get errors from other components and modules so what you are going to do about those.

Send ftp details to my email normanuk[at]live.co.uk.

Alternatively keep using php 5.3.37 and tell your host not to upgrade your account.

See you around...

Message from the hosting co. say that the modules are outdated and need to be updated. I have updated the Image Show GK4 to the latest version 1.38 and still get the messages, you say its a a server side issue and they say its a module problem and I am just confused!

Simple : )

Its kind of both but our modules has to care for other versions of php, if we use code specific for php 5.4+ then users who use older versions will have problems as new codes will not be available in older versions of php.

And why do you think our modules work fine in your current php version.

Before going any further just test your website on your new php 5.4+ and make sure below is configured properly.

Code: Select all

display_errors: Off


Then you will not see these notice messages as they will be hidden.

Thanks, I understand where you are coming from and appreciate that you would not build modules for single versions. Where would this code go? Thanks again for you patience on this problem.

Code: Select all

display_errors: Off


This a php configuration and it is usually set by your host unless you have access to php.ini config file.

This is the response from our hosting provider:
"On our side, we have disabled display_errors, as well as setting the errors to the strictest value, and we still see all the same errors.
This shows that the error is not in PHP itself, but rather in the modules used in Joomla. In order to make the site 5.4.4 PHP ready, these modules either need to be disabled and not used, or they have to be upgraded to support the new version of PHP.
The display_error = off will not hide errors with regards to Joomla, hence why you are still seeing errors."

Seriously to continue this discussion please supply me with an access to this server they are testing on.

Hi Norman
Do you want the FTP details?

Website link
Admin access
Ftp access

For this server running on php 5.4.4 so we can check.

Hi there

I am experiencing the same problem with the Strict Standards display errors.
I have done the following:
* Request my host turn off PHP error reporting which they have done.
* added "error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_DEPRECATED & ~E_STRICT" to php.ini (though I created this php.ini file myself so I'm not sure if this works).

I'm running on PHP 5.4.4.

Could you please assist?

Can you check php information in site > system information from joomla admin panel and look for display_errors, if its on that means something still overriding this setting.

Thanks for your quick response.

Display Errors is set to be Off and under Global Configuration > Server Settings I have also selected Error Reporting to be "none".

Do you need me to send you any FTP/login details?

Sure you can, either as private message or to my email normanuk[at]live.co.uk.

See you around...
