"unable To Determine Page Link" After Php5

[Alley Kat]

After a PHP5 upgrade broke our store most things are now fixed, but the homepage gives the "Unable to determine the page link!" error.

 

If <?php include(DIR_WS_MODULES . FILENAME_NEW_PRODUCTS); ?> is removed or commented out, the error goes.

 

If the page is renamed to other than 'index.php', the error also goes...

 

Any ideas?

Thanks

Bill

Edit to the above: this morning it seems commenting FILENAME_NEW_PRODUCTS doesn't stop the error....

 

Here's the page as it should be: http://www.letsbuygold.com/index_ori.php

Here's the broken live site http://www.letsbuygold.com

 

Renaming index.php to anything stops the error appearing.... ?

 

Also when the error appears, the right column is empty.

After viewing a product and returning to the home page, the error does not appear...

My line says

<td><?php include(DIR_WS_MODULES . FILENAME_NEW_PRODUCTS); ?></td>

 

maybe post your file?

Hi Coopco, my line's the same as yours, I just didn't quote the cell tags there.

 

Well I seem to have got some sort of a rough fix now:

Changing this line in application_top didn't make any difference:

if (!isset($PHP_SELF)) $PHP_SELF = $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['PHP_SELF']; to:

if (!isset($PHP_SELF)) $PHP_SELF = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];

 

So I added this, which did make a difference: $PHP_SELF = $_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME'];

 

Still not perfect. In /includes/modules/new_products.php I changed this

 

new contentBox($info_box_contents);

to this:

if (isset($new_products)) { new contentBox($info_box_contents); }

And it seems OK now, although these 'fixes' feel like papering over cracks... Brain shot to bits now, was up to 3am sorting, so I hope the above makes some sort of sense...

It worries me that you have had to go to this extreme. Mostly osc works with php5. See

http://www.oscommerce.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=177004

 

and are you using the latest version of osc

and done the minor fixes to that.

 

I am running php5 on my local pc and have not had any of the problems that you are getting.
