[PHP-DB] php5 busts php4 code
Hi, I am running: apache 2.0.52 MySQL 4.1.7 php 4.3.9 I have a program for user data entry, retrieval, editing and updating. Works fine. When I updated php to 5.0.3: Data entry works fine (including login with password) but data requested does not populate populate form anymore. I have all error reporting turned on and nothing comes back/ Data entry integrity was checked with seperate application = OK/ Any hints? I can post code if asked.

I have all error reporting turned on and nothing comes back/ Data entry integrity was checked with seperate application = OK/ This isn't php5 busting php4 code - it's running an application that was programmed for/against php4 under php5, and figuring out what's wrong. This is a major version change, and it is possible it could take some work to get things perfectly. My gut reaction is somethings wrong if you're not getting any errors with all error reporting turned on, unless you had previously gone ahead and tweaked this for use under php5 - but maybe I use array_merge more often than most :). How was data integrity checked with a separate application - what exactly did you test? Do you mean you logged in (under the php5 version) and added some data, then viewed it on an apache running under your original configuration? Go read up on http://us3.php.net/manual/en/faq.migration5.php#faq.migration5.php45 (which points you to http://us3.php.net/manual/en/migration5.php ). The main area you need to look at is http://us3.php.net/manual/en/migration5.incompatible.php One possible suggestion is check your data sources - it may be that whatever (class/etc) reading the data is in some way using different libraries/includes from what's setting it - and it's somehow misconfigured/etc. Different users, different paths, different libraries to read vs. save data, etc. I dunno, nobody turned the light on here so it's a shot in the dark. If your application is constantly suppressing errors (@ prefixing function calls), or just not testing what's returned, then you're going to have a long couple of days/nights - so go get some caffeine before anything else. Good luck, shed some more light and we'll see if we can't help you better.

RE: [PHP-DB] php5 busts php4 code
No default support for MySQL in PHP 5. Did you enable it manually?

Re: [PHP-DB] php5 busts php4 code
Thank you Martin Richard,
First Richard's question:
I am using the preconfigured binary install package
for Mac OS X 10.3.7 from Marc Liyanage at:
http://www.entropy.ch/
It has support for mysql compiled into it with
the mysql client library ver. 4.1.3beta as
reported by into.php. It does work in the POST direction
because information entered into html forms is written to
the proper database-tables-columns. I checked this with
a seperate mysql gui application named MySQL4X Manager
for the Mac OS X platform. The POST data arrived just fine.
As to Martin's comments and links, I did check out the php
documentation concerning migrating code from ver. 4 - ver 5.
I thought I had enabled all backwards compatibility pnp.ini
directives. I again checked that the php.ini file was correctly
found by checking the info.php. The thing I'm guessing
(I am a php amateur) is that it has something to do with paths
a.k.a '_SERVER'in conjuction with argc and argv arguements.
I have not exhaustively tested possible changes
The code is a tweaked version of a Dreamweaver MX 2004
(out-of-the-box)routine.
Again the code worked fine under php 4.3.9.
the GET request look like this:
?php
$colname_members_mbr = 1;
$colname_profile_pfl = 1;
$colname_lifetyle_stl = 1;
if (isset($_GET['username_mbr'])) {
$colname_members_mbr = (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) ?
$_GET['username_mbr'] : addslashes($_GET['username_mbr']);
}
if (isset($_GET['username_pfl'])) {
$colname_profile_pfl = (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) ?
$_GET['username_pfl'] : addslashes($_GET['username_pfl']);
}
if (isset($_GET['username_stl'])) {
$colname_lifestyle_stl = (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) ?
$_GET['username_stl'] : addslashes($_GET['username_stl']);
}
mysql_select_db($database_roommatesat8, $roommatesat8);
$query_members_mbr = sprintf(SELECT * FROM members_mbr WHERE
username_mbr = '{$_SESSION['MM_Username']}', $colname_members_mbr);
$members_mbr = mysql_query($query_members_mbr, $roommatesat8) or
die(mysql_error());
$row_members_mbr = mysql_fetch_assoc($members_mbr);
$totalRows_members_mbr = mysql_num_rows($members_mbr);
mysql_select_db($database_roommatesat8, $roommatesat8);
$query_profile_pfl = sprintf(SELECT * FROM profile_pfl WHERE
username_pfl = '{$_SESSION['MM_Username']}', $colname_profile_pfl);
$profile_pfl = mysql_query($query_profile_pfl, $roommatesat8) or
die(mysql_error());
$row_profile_pfl = mysql_fetch_assoc($profile_pfl);
$totalRows_profile_pfl = mysql_num_rows($profile_pfl);
mysql_select_db($database_roommatesat8, $roommatesat8);
$query_lifestyle_stl = sprintf(SELECT * FROM lifestyle_stl WHERE
username_stl = '{$_SESSION['MM_Username']}', $colname_lifetyle_stl);
$lifestyle_stl = mysql_query($query_lifestyle_stl, $roommatesat8) or
die(mysql_error());
$row_lifestyle_stl = mysql_fetch_assoc($lifestyle_stl);
$totalRows_lifestyle_stl = mysql_num_rows($lifestyle_stl);
$sessUsername = $_SESSION['MM_Username'];
$_SESSION['sessName']=$sessUsername;
?
If anyone can point me in the right direction I would appreciate it.
Hassan
