Help with error message on my website

[slicky1]

hey guys/gals,

 

am having a major problem on my website which I need help please...

whenever I go to my site I keep getting this error message which am not sure how to fix. Any help is appreciated thank you.

 

here is the error:

 

 

 

 

 

Also am getting a message in the backend Admin section saying An update for osCommerce Online Merchant is available! OScommerce is available for update. How do I update to the new version or is it a good idea to update?

 

installed version is osCommerce Online Merchant v2.3.1

thank you all for the help in advance...

Hi

 

on the error - try opening the module named there and try putting this inside the <?php tag

 

//Disable error reporting

error_reporting(0);

 

That'll maybe stop the error display (but not fix the problem)

If it still spits it out all over the place then try going to line 62 qnd add an @ before the function:

so mb_substr( becomes @@mb_substr( - same difference - suppresses the error warning but does not fix whatever is throwing it in the first place

Some newer versions of PHP 5.3.x are forcing osCommerce users to update their code to be compatible with the new version. This is what is happening on your current site. As Bob suggested, you can HIDE the errors but you are better off fixing them.
