Canada Post Module - Decprecation Error

[Guest]

Hello all,

 

Up until recently, my install of the Canada Post Shipping Module has worked flawlessly. I do not know the exact date when this error started appearing, but it has to be sometime since 06/19/2006 (date of the last order processed).

 

Errors:

 

Warning: Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated - argument passed by value; If you would like to pass it by reference, modify the declaration of fsockopen(). If you would like to enable call-time pass-by-reference, you can set allow_call_time_pass_reference to true in your INI file. However, future versions may not support this any longer. in /var/www/vhosts/francescoscoffee.com/httpdocs/osCommerce/includes/modules/shipping/canadapost.php on line 166

The corresponding code - lines 165-186:

// try to connect to Canada Post server, for 2 second
$fp = @fsockopen($host, $port, &$errno, &$errstr, 2);
if ( $fp ) {
  fputs($fp, "$method $path HTTP/1.1\n");
  fputs($fp, "Host: $host\n");
  fputs($fp, "Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\n");
  fputs($fp, "Content-length: " . strlen($data) . "\n");
  if ($useragent)
	fputs($fp, "User-Agent: MSIE\n");
  fputs($fp, "Connection: close\n\n");
  if ($method == 'POST')
	fputs($fp, $data);

  while (!feof($fp))
	$buf .= fgets($fp,128);
  fclose($fp);
} else {
  $buf = '<?xml version="1.0" ?><eparcel><error><statusMessage>Cannot reach Canada Post Server.</statusMessage></error></eparcel>'; 
}

return $buf;
}

 

Anyone with a similar outcome, or any insight would be very helpful.

Yes, I just installed the same shipping module and I'm getting exactly the same Warning messages.

 

Since I just downloaded OsCommerce and am developing my site, I don't know when the change took place. I would love to edit the .ini file, as suggested, as soon as I find the damn thing LOL

This error seem to be an old command no more supported in PHP 5.0

 

But I don't know how to change the command to be correct. Here's the line that need to be changed:

 

$fp = @fsockopen($host, $port, &$errno, &$errstr, 2);
