Making the Interakt products compatible with PHP5.3

[Fred]

Just realise that php 5.3 requires you to set the default time-zone.

The easiest way is to simply add the following time in your php.ini file
date.timezone="Europe/London"

Big time thanks for posting this fix.

You are welcome David,

I have another tip for people upgrading to php 5.3 and having issues with the date() function.

Instead of adding a local php.ini file for each website and in the process "maybe" missing something important add the following lines of code as the last lines in your database connection file.

Code: Select all

// Force PHP 5.3.0+ to take time zone information from OS
if (version_compare(phpversion(), '5.3.0', '>='))
{
   $date_now =  @date_default_timezone_set(date_default_timezone_get());
}

It does what it says on the tin and your global php.ini will still be functioning.

Guys, I have a big problem, my host just upgraded to PHP 5.3.x and the error on my site is:
Warning: Parameter 2 to Trigger_Default_FormValidation() expected to be a reference, value given in /home/test/public_html/test/includes/tng/tNG.class.php on line 217

[Fred]

What does your line 217 look like?

Hi All,

I am a little confused with the patch that has been created.

1. php 5.3 compatibility patches for KX Kollection - Pro Edition - Is the download meant to be used for ADDT too?

2. Is there another download which I should use just for ADDT? or again do I just use the patch already created for php 5.3 compatibility patches for KX Kollection - Pro Edition?

Sorry I just want to be sure that the files in the patch will work for both ADDT and KX Kollection.

Cheers,
Joe

Hi Joe,
There is a download for ADDT here http://www.interaktonline.info/files/47 ... patch.html

Note: I haven't used it myself as I do not have ADDT.

Best practice would be to make a backup of your includes folder, upload the patched files and see if it works.
