Hi everybody I am one stressed person right now. I had been away for a while only to return recently and find out that none of my websites (with Hostpapa) had been working. I sent the technical support team an email and they told me that my websites were not PHP 5.4 compatible. They also said: "As register_globals is deprecated in PHP 5.4 and because of this you are receiving errors on your website. You will have to update your website code and remove register global references. If this can not be done then in that case the last option would be to upgrade to VPS hosting." Why have things just suddenly changed? How can I fix this problem? It's affected many of the sites on my host - and in some cases - the submission forms are not working in connection with my Aweber account. Please help as this has shocked me quite badly - and needs resolving asap. Thank you in advance

Hello All, Plan to migrate PHP 5.3 to 5.4 this week using MacPorts on a MacOSX 10.6 (Lion) server. Plan to go through this gist as my reference. Who has made this migration already, using MacPorts (version 2.1.3) and were there any "gotcha" I need to know about in advance? Also, I'm using a number of PEAR libraries, I don't suppose PEAR is bundled with the PHP54 port? Any thoughts or advice is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hello! I have a script on a website that is supposed to email users messages/alerts, and it was working fine on PHP 5.2, but doesn't work on PHP 5.4. It doesn't include any of the $variables in the email it sends. Any ideas? The webpage shows correctly, says it was sent, and sends a mostly blank email. (This is not all the code, but the important workings of it.) Is there something I need to reference differently for 5.4? Any solutions would be greatly appreciated! <?php if (isset($acode) && $acode != 'unset') { echo"<div style=\"font-size: 110%\">Send an Alert for:<br /><b> $location > $dept > $alert</b> <br /><br /> </div> <form name=\"alert\" onsubmit=\"return isReady(this)\" action=\"$formaction\" method=\"POST\"> <input type=\"hidden\" name=\"Location\" value=\"$location\"> <input type=\"hidden\" name=\"Department\" value=\"$dept\"> <input type=\"hidden\" name=\"Code\" value=\"$acode\"> <input type=\"hidden\" name=\"Alert\" value=\"$alert\"> <input type=\"hidden\" name=\"Contacts\" value=\"$tocode\"> Your name: <br /> <input type=\"text\" name=\"Name\" size=\"40\" maxlength=\"70\" value=\" Required\" onfocus=\"if(this.value==' Required')this.value='';\" onblur=\"if(this.value=='')this.value=' Required';\"><br /> <br /> Your e-mail address: <br /> <input type=\"text\" name=\"Email\" size=\"40\" maxlength=\"90\" value=\" Required\" onfocus=\"if(this.value==' Required')this.value='';\" onblur=\"if(this.value=='')this.value=' Required';\"><br /> <br /> Brief message: <span style=\"color: #666666; font-size: 70%\"> Please keep in point form if possible. </span> <br /> <textarea name=\"Message\" cols=\"65\" rows=\"7\" maxlength=\"5000\"> </textarea> <span class=\"smbr\"> <br /> <br /> </span> <br /> <div style=\"color: #666666; font-size: 70%; text-indent: 50px\"> All fields required.
