Does OsCommerce work with Php v5 ?

My webhost is probably going to upgrade to Php v5.

 

I am just wondering if there are any known issues with this?

Yes, there is. Many sites have problems with some of the database calls. The fix can be found here.

Just anectdotal for the moment but I'm building out a store using the php5/mysql5 combo on the Nov 11 release (current) and everything is fine on the base as far as I can tell.

 

Most contribs are playing nicely as well with the exception of SPPC (seperate price per customer) which needs A LOT of futzing (In fact I think it was either Jack_mcs or Enigma that posted the changes to the sql calls for SPPC, Thanks for that!)

 

So here's the list of stuff that I've found will work without modification at the moment on the Nov 11 base using the php/mysql 5 combo

 

STS 4.1

CCGV 5.16

Header Tags Controller

QTpro 4.25 (Quantity Tracker)

Short Product Description 1.5

Attribute Sort 1.0

Xsell 2.3

UltraPics 1.0

Review Approval

Reviews in Product Display

 

So overall it seems to be a pretty smooth ride on a new install. If your store isn't heavily modded a quick compare and merge will probably fix it right up.

 

To get ahead of the curve set yourself up a test installation locally matching your hosts setup (XAMMP's probably a good bet there) and touch the files up before they upgrade and you'll be all set.

 

Hope this is useful,

Iggy

Everything's funny but nothing's a joke...
