upload.php error on clean setup

[Guest]

I'm a complete beginner to osCommerce, and have gone through all of setup w/o a hitch and - BUT getting the following error

 

Fatal error: Cannot re-assign $this in C:\xampp\xampplite\htdocs\catalog\admin\includes\classes\upload.php on line 31

 

 

 

 

So, when i remove the Upload function (see below), I'm able to update the mySQL database and the error goes away.....but, I can't upload images via admin web interface...this is an important feature for me,......help.

 

--------------------------when removed from admin\includes\classes\upload.php, everything works-------------------------------------------------------

 

function upload($file = '', $destination = '', $permissions = '777', $extensions = '') {

$this->set_file($file);

$this->set_destination($destination);

$this->set_permissions($permissions);

$this->set_extensions($extensions);

 

$this->set_output_messages('direct');

 

if (tep_not_null($this->file) && tep_not_null($this->destination)) {

$this->set_output_messages('session');

 

if ( ($this->parse() == true) && ($this->save() == true) ) {

return true;

} else {

// self destruct

$this = null;

 

return false;

}

}

}

you are using php5, which does not work properly with osCommerce.

 

if you search on $this you should find some things on it.

 

search is a wonderful thing.

 

comment out $this by // ie

 

// $this

I think I have a better question knowing there are issues with php 5. I installed XAMPP and it installed PHP 5.

Can I downgrade gracefully from PHP 5 to PHP 4.x?

 

How can I get XAMPP and PHP 4.x together?

thanks.

personally, i would use apache, mysql and php installed separately. then you can control the versions.
