FusionControlCentre Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Hello. We currently have a heavily modified (graphically mainly but also code wise) installation of oscommerce that reports to be version 2.2-MS2. Our server is currently setup to use PHP4, but I want to migrate it to PHP5. Problem is I have heard many horror stories about oscommerce and php5. Something like it uses a lot of $http_get_vars stuff and I believe this is a major incompatibility issue with PHP5. Have to change to $server or something similar. So how hard is it to take an older installation and upgrade it to PHP5 without loosing all our custom work? Is it as simple as a find/replace in all files? Any help would be appreciated. This is a live and very active site, so I dont want to try something that destroys everything... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
