Change code from PHP 5 to PHP 4

byronbailey · March 5, 2007

Hi

I am new to PHP, i have copied code from a book that includes my_sqli which i have found that it is not compatible with the PHP 4 that my web hosts uses.

Can any help make it compatible with PHP4?

Would be great for of any help, with the two bits of code below.

Thanks

Nick

function escape_data($data){

if(ini_get('magic_quotes_gpc')) {
	$data = stripslashes($data);
}
global $dbc;

$data = mysqli_real_escape_string($dbc, trim($data));

Just a tip. No on likes reading through a hundred lines of code to find your problem and then fix it. You will more likely get an answer if you find a few lines that do not work and post those. Once you post those someone will help you.

You should post in the freelancing forum if you want someone to customize a code for you.

This is the first time I have posted on a Forum, so thanks for the advice.

I have used mysqli to connect to mysql.

$dbc = mysqli_connect(DB_HOST, DB_USER, DB_USER, DB_NAME) OR die ('Could not connect to MySQL: ' .mysqli_connect_error());

function escape_data($data){

if(ini_get('magic_quotes_gpc')) {

$data = stripslashes($data);

}

global $dbc;

$data = mysqli_real_escape_string($dbc, trim($data));

return $data;

}

?>

Try this:

everwhere it says mysqli change it to mysql

I don't know much about the new mysqli thing but I always used mysql instead in php4

An exception to the above is mysql_connect() which doesn't have the DB_NAME argument. You need a separate mysql_select_db() statement.

$dbc = mysql_connect(DB_HOST, DB_USER, DB_USER) OR die ('Could not connect to MySQL: ' .mysql_error());

mysql_select_db ( DB_NAME, $dbc );
