Ravennuke 2.4 + php 5.3 For Future Reference

testy1 · Involved Joined: Apr 06, 2008 Posts: 483

Some errors and assorted for future reference.

Currently using php 5.3 and thought I would log some of the errors.

Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in includes\xmlrpc\xmlrpc.php on line 554

Fixed these errors using the following function, although probably not the best way :(

Code:

function & rn_newref(&$new_value) {
return $new_value;
}

then for example find:

Code:

$client =& new xmlrpc_client('/version.php', 'nukeseo.com', 80);

Change To:

Code:

$client =& rn_newref(new xmlrpc_client('/version.php', 'nukeseo.com', 80));

Error: Function split() is deprecated in includes\xmlrpc\xmlrpc.php on line 2272

Find:

Code:

$ar = split("\r?\n", trim(substr($data, 0, $pos)));

Change To:

Code:

$ar = explode("\r?\n", trim(substr($data, 0, $pos)));

Other Errors:

All ereg need to be replaced

Code:

ereg()
ereg_replace()

Link:

Code:

admin.php?op=ABTrackedAgentsPages&tid=1

Notice: Undefined variable: perpage in admin\modules\nukesentinel\ABTrackedAgentsPages.php on line 23

Those deprecated warnings in php 5.3 are known. They are still fully supported in php 5.3 and will be up until php 6. They will all be addressed well before php 6 is released. To remove them for testing purposes, in rnconfig.php find

Code:

$error_reporting = E_ALL^E_NOTICE;

and replace with

Code:

$error_reporting = E_ALL^E_NOTICE^E_DEPRECATED;

and that will suppress the reporting of deprecated errors.

EDIT: also the best way to handle the deprecated split and ereg will be with the Perl-compatible preg family IMO.

I understand its just a notice basically but ultimately it should be fixed.Well thats the way I code anyway.Just thought I'd post it up for future reference.I always thought explode was faster unless you specifically needed to use regex.

Thanks Testy1 Smile

. Btw, Explode carries some security issues if not handled just right.

Nuken: You are correct and we should probably add $error_reporting = E_ALL^E_NOTICE^E_DEPRECATED; as our default. Please enter a Mantis issue on this and mark it for v2.40.01 . Thanks!

Done

yey retroactive fix Smile

nah just kidding it's late and I've been fiddling with 5.3 tonight , getting on my nerves.

Btw , I didn't get how you cloned split()

Raven · Posted: Wed Oct 28, 2009 6:27 pm

Thanks for the catch killing me

This is assigned to me and this is how I intend to implement and would like some testing by Testy1 as I do not have 5.3 nor the time ATM to install it:

Code:

$error_reporting = E_ALL^E_NOTICE; // This is the default and means: All errors except Notices
if (defined('E_DEPRECATED')) $error_reporting = $error_reporting^E_DEPRECATED; // If want to see these warnings when running PHP5.3, comment out this IF statement

I am still needing to hunt down the constant value so that I can place it in the comments above.

Let me know how this works. It will gracefully degrade for lower PHP's which do not have that constant defined.

huhm....? I'll test this Smile

As a quick note; I have used xampp on my windows box for about 3 years, but recently decided to try wamp.It allows me to easily install the multiple versions of php, mysql, apache (including beta versions) with a quick automated install.and at the click of a button it restarts the server with a different version.I wont be going back to xampp Smile

Ok some testing;

My Version Info

Apache: 2.2.13
PHP: 5.3.0
MySQL: 5.1.36

With a default install of ravennuke 2.4 it displays the following errors at the top of the page

Code:

Deprecated: Function set_magic_quotes_runtime() is deprecated in E:\wamp\www\raven\rnconfig.php on line 267

Deprecated: Function ereg() is deprecated in E:\wamp\www\raven\includes\ipban.php on line 22

Deprecated: Function eregi() is deprecated in E:\wamp\www\raven\modules\Your_Account\includes\mainfileend.php on line 17

Deprecated: Function eregi() is deprecated in E:\wamp\www\raven\modules\Your_Account\includes\constants.php on line 17

After making suggested changes in rnconfig.php I get the following error still.

Code:

Deprecated: Function set_magic_quotes_runtime() is deprecated in E:\wamp\www\raven\rnconfig.php on line 267

so it seems that there also needs to be a php version check to the new ini setting at the bottom of rnconfig.php

Note: It also displays all the errors once you comment out your changes.Also the changes you suggested seem to work fine in php version 5.2.11.

Some other test's I did for further info if needed....

Apache: 2.2.13
PHP: 5.2.11
MySQL: 5.1.36

Quote:

Test 1

Code:

$error_reporting = E_ALL;

The above outputs

Code:

int(6134)

Test 2

Code:

$error_reporting = E_NOTICE;

The above outputs

Code:

int(8)

Test 3

Code:

$error_reporting = E_STRICT;

The above outputs

Code:

int(2048)

Test 4

Code:

$error_reporting = E_ALL^E_NOTICE;

The above outputs

Code:

int(6135)

Apache: 2.2.13
PHP: 5.3.0
MySQL: 5.1.36

testy1, this is excellent info... I did manage to find the constant values. That is a real PITA about the other error and THANKS for letting me know that!

The reason for that is the error level isn't actually set until further down in mainfile.php which is why the warning is still be shown. I don't think I can just move that, which would be the ideal. I'll look into it.

Thanks again m8!

just moving it sounds way to easy lol,

Good rule of thumb is if you have 1 hour spare it will take at least 4 hours Smile

Good Day,

Currently in production server running phpnuke 8.0 + Nuke Sentinal 2.6.01 and combined with the bbantispam has stabilized the site from intrusions.

Now starting a migration with a complete new install of RN in a test environment.

In Windose platform with XAMPP 1.7.3 I was able to complete the installation without issue to "Install RavenNuke Tables" - with no issue.

Now attempting to access admin.php and recieve the following error:

Quote:

Deprecated: Function ereg() is deprecated in C:\xampp\htdocs\dspx360\includes\ipban.php on line 22

Followed Montego suggestion to edit rnconfig.php

Code:

$error_reporting = E_ALL^E_NOTICE; // This is the default and means: All errors except Notices
if (defined('E_DEPRECATED')) $error_reporting = $error_reporting^E_DEPRECATED; // If want to see these warnings when running PHP5.3, comment out this IF statement

but now only a white page with the comical "Nice Try"

Let me know if I have missed something,

Check your server log and/or PHP log for errors.

@ Raven: sorry but I have no idea what math you want me to do...

Try changing it to just this

Code:

$error_reporting = E_ALL^E_NOTICE^E_DEPRECATED;

Montego, I don't have 5.3 either, but wouldn't it have to be this?
if (defined('E_DEPRECATED')) $error_reporting = $error_reporting . ^E_DEPRECATED;

Ok made the suggested revision and returned the following error:

Quote:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '^' in C:\xampp\htdocs\dspx360\rnconfig.php on line 83

Thanks for your help guys,,, is this because I am using XAMPP with PHP 5.3.1 ?

Should I find an old version of XAMPP to install?

Didn't expect to have issues this early in the install.... sorry to bother you guys with this as it is only a test environment.

Palbin · Posted: Thu Jan 28, 2010 1:02 pm

Replace everything you have done with simply this:

Code:

$error_reporting = E_ALL^E_NOTICE^E_DEPRECATED;

silicastorm · Posted: Thu Jan 28, 2010 1:24 pm

Right back to the same error in the beginning: White Page "Nice Try"

montego · Posted: Fri Jan 29, 2010 7:00 am

silicastorm, I believe you have gotten past the PHP errors and are now running into a situation where you are trying to do something that RN's code does not like. So, one issue down and now on to the next.

I have searched through my library of 2.30.00 and 2.40.00 distributions and I cannot find "Nice Try" as text within the code. I know it has to be there, so my searches are failing me. Unfortunately, I have to get moving to get to work... I'll try this again tonight if no-one beats me to it.

Palbin, per your question here

Code:

Montego, I don't have 5.3 either, but wouldn't it have to be this?
if (defined('E_DEPRECATED')) $error_reporting = $error_reporting . ^E_DEPRECATED;

The answer is that $error_reporting is NOT a string, therefore, we don't concatenate it. We're trying to adjust the final integer value that is holds to include the removal of deprecated warnings.

this is in includes/ipban.php

Code:

$ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
if(!ereg('^([0-9]{1,3})\\.([0-9]{1,3})\\.([0-9]{1,3})\\.([0-9]{1,3})$', $ip)) die('Nice try!!');

I think your problem may be related to your XAMPP and/or test sever setup

silicastorm · Posted: Fri Jan 29, 2010 9:02 pm

Ok, thanks everyone,,,

1) now uninstalling XAMPP
2) installed Wamp Server
a. activated "rewrite_module" - Apache
b. using PHP 5.2.9
c. activated PHP "magic quotes gpc"
