Does it or does it not work with php 5?

[MrE03]

i just noticed i have the same problem where if i click edit itll revert back to the original attribute manager and doesnt do anything, i changed the files and it still doesnt do anything, i actually have 2 other sites hosted on this server so it seems to be working but maybe so can give me an idea why it might be causing this?

Hi,
Actually, the bug tracker is not exactly right either, at least that was my experience. I cannot remember exactly what I did to get it working...I'll try to take a look tomorrow...can you tell me what where the affected files again so I can lookup what I did faster?

i think the files where

new_attributes_include.php
new_attributes_select.php
new_attributes.php

Hi,
I don't know why this worked for me honestly, but all I know is that it did. If anyone wants to give an explanation, that would be great. Files not mentioned are unchanged. I did this instead of what the bug tracker mentioned:

//new_attributes_include.php
//old code B
<TR>
<TD class="pageHeading" colspan="3"><?php $pageTitle ?></TD>
</TR>

<FORM ACTION="<?php $PHP_SELF?>" METHOD="POST" NAME="SUBMIT_ATTRIBUTES">
<INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="current_product_id" VALUE="<?php $current_product_id?>">
<INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="action" VALUE="change">

<?php


///End old code

//
//new code B

<TR>
<TD class="pageHeading" colspan="3"><?php $pageTitle ?></TD>
</TR>

<FORM ACTION="<? $PHP_SELF?>" METHOD="POST" NAME="SUBMIT_ATTRIBUTES">
<INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="current_product_id" VALUE="<?php $current_product_id?>">
<INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="action" VALUE="change">

<?php
//new code End

///new_attributes_select.php
///old code B
<TR>
<TD class="pageHeading" colspan="3"><?php $pageTitle ?></TD>
</TR>
<FORM ACTION="<?php $PHP_SELF; ?>" NAME="SELECT_PRODUCT" METHOD="POST">
<INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="action" VALUE="select">

//old code End

//new code B
<TR>
<TD class="pageHeading" colspan="3"><?php $pageTitle ?></TD>
</TR>
<FORM ACTION="<? $PHP_SELF; ?>" NAME="SELECT_PRODUCT" METHOD="POST">
<INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="action" VALUE="select">

//new code End

weird i tried those changes and it still didnt work, must be some other files, theres 2 different versions of oscmax i was using so it might be that theyre different

the 2 versions i was using was rc3 and then rc3 w/registers globals

Ok, let's go though this again:
Tell me exactly what you do and how it responds.

Then tell me exactly what you have tried as far as modifications and which things did not work(on which files)...process of elimination

Hi. I have a somewhat older version of oscmax, that I've made tons of changes to.
I think it is osCMax v2.0 (May 2005) (it contains a readme with that info).

I need to upgrade to use php5 in the very near future (my server currently has both php4 and php5, but php4 will go away sometime soon).
Is this version of osCMax compatible with php5 also?

Any suggestions/pointers on what changes I might need to make to get it compatible if it is not?
You mentioned that there were stickies on such things, but I couldn't find them.

Would you suggest I attempt to upgrade to a more current version of oscmax? I've made so many changes that I couldn't just overwrite files--it would be best if I could follow some sort of change log or upgrade instructions.
I'd rather not upgrade if it is not necessary, but if it is, I'd like to make it as simple as possible.

Thanks in advance for any advice on this!

Hello all! (my first post here..) // found out that our version is: "MS2-MAX" osCommerce 2.2-MS2.

I´ve just recieved a mail from our ISP where they mention about a soon-to-be upgrade from "Apache 1.3, PHP 4"

to

Apache 2.2, PHP 5

As i understand from this thread, that wont be any problem? But i Guess I´ll have to read a bit about what "globals" and "stickies" are.. will do that..

If anyone have some good link to an easy-to-understand-fix, (if at all needed..)it would be appriciated, but feel I should look around a bit more before asking..

You have an older version 1.5 or 1.7 which is no longer supported. There is several changes to the 2.0 code base and to the database as well.

There are other option like setting in .htaccess the register_globals=on or in PHP.INI if you have access to....
