fleeced Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Has anyone seen a good post or contribution to upgrade to PHP 5.4? I see $ HTTP_POST_VARS and _mysql seem to be deprecated amongst other. Any good guides/posts/pdfs on what needs upgrading? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrPhil Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 The very first thing to do is determine if there is ABSOLUTELY NO WAY that you can upgrade to 2.3.4. This would involve installing a fresh 2.3.4 (or Bootstrap community version) and migrating your database over. Once you have made a test installation, and it's working, you can look around for add-ons and custom work needed to restore any lost functionality from your 2.2 store. Trying to patch osC 2.2 to keep up with PHP versions is usually false economy. You will spend far more time dealing with problems, and the insecure code, and the old-fashioned look and feel; than if you just go to a modern store. At the very least, make a private test installation of 2.3.4, copy over the existing database and migrate it to 2.3.4, and see what you need to do. From your questions, I can see that you know very little about osC or PHP (e.g., $HTTP_POST_VARS is just a copy of $_POST), so I think your time would be better spent working with a current version of osC.
