Problem with version PHP 5.3.2 - 2010/03/20 21:53 hello

I have installed time ago Glossary on my site and all work well...Few days ago I get follow error in some place of my site:

Deprecated: Function eregi() is deprecated in /home/mysite/public_html/plugins/content/definitionbot.php on line 291

This seem to be related to PHP who was updated to version 5.3.2. In fact I have revert PHP to version 5.2.9 and all is fine...So it seem your plugin use a deprecated php function who generate this error...

Do you confirm ???

Other question: It seem is not possible to choose our own user password on your website...In my profile I don't see any possibility to choose...Do you confirm ??

thank for help

Re:Problem with version PHP 5.3.2 - 2010/03/21 16:32 You are correct on both counts

Glossary and Remository still contain some uses of ereg functions that are deprecated in PHP 5.3. They will be removed in the next versions. It is quite a simple change to alter them to the corresponding preg_ functions.

For the sake of security, the Remository site uses only system generated passwords. You can always request a new one, so long as you know your email address. Martin Brampton aka Counterpoint

Re:Problem with version PHP 5.3.2 - 2010/04/29 08:57 Hi,

I just installed the component and I get the same error message as dotcom here. I am also running PHP 5.3 but unfortunately cannot revert to a previous version.

So 2 questions

1) Is there a temporary fix (through editing some file somewhere)?
2) If not, how far away are we from the next version that eliminates the problem.

Thanks in advance for your response and Kudos for the nice extension !

Re:Problem with version PHP 5.3.2 - 2010/04/29 14:49 The uses of ereg* are all in the definitionbot. At line 151 you will find

Code:

 $desc= ereg_replace("<br />|<p>", " ", $desc);



and this could be replaced with

Code:

 $desc = str_replace(array('<br />', '<br />', '</p><p>', '</p>'), ' ', $desc);



Line 291 has

Code:

 if (eregi('{definition}',$newContent)) $page->text = showDefinition ($definitiony, $param, $newContent);



which could be replaced with

Code:

 if (false !== strpos($newContent, '{definition}')) $page->text = showDefinition ($definitiony, $param, $newContent);



That eliminates use of ereg* and also makes the code more efficient, since regular expression processing was never really needed in these now rather ancient fragments of code!

Re:Problem with version PHP 5.3.2 - 2010/04/29 16:45 Thanks a lot.

However I still get this above my Glossary

Code:

And this below my footer :

As you can see I am running EasyPHP 5.3.0, don't know might be a lead.

Any idea as to what needs to be modified and where ?

Thanks again, your comp rocks!

Re:Problem with version PHP 5.3.2 - 2010/05/01 20:03 Hi!

I found a "fix". It is not clean but it is enough at this stage.

As stated above, the problem lies with the present lack of compatibility of your component with PHP 5.3.0.

There are 3 ways to fix the problem :

1) Revert to PHP 5.2.9;

or

2) Manually alter the code to eliminate split references and replace them with proper PHP 5.3.0 functions;

or

3) Deactivate the error reporting (either completely or partially) according to this manual : http://php.net/manual/fr/function.error-reporting.php

That is what I did. I inserted that code at the very beginning of my index files (the general one and the administrator one, since I received error messages also in Glossary's back end) :

Code:

 <?php 
error_reporting(0);
?> 


It is not clean I admit it but that does it until I download the soon-to-exist PHP 5.3.0 compatible version of your great component.

Thanks again and cheers !
