Some people have reported problems running the MP with PHP v5.3.x. This is because the PHP people changed some core syntax in the PHP engine, plus removed support for some older functions that the MP uses.

Today I ported the MP to be compatible with both PHP v5.3.x and with earlier PHP versions. Hawk5 and I tested this on WinXP32 and Vista64 machines and it seems that the MP now supports both old and new PHP versions seamlessly.

This new support is incorporated in MP4 v4.729, available through the autoupdater. Since the database handler has been changed in this process, when performing the update you may need to restore your own database settings again to connect to your databases.

Hello Shades,
I've just auto updated the MP; while I had to reset the connection -as mentioned- the Metadata file is still reporting the 4.724 version. Is it correct?

Bonjour Diego,

No, I guess you should have v4.729. I updated too my MP4:
http://www.flibusteairline.com/MP/Scripts/default.php and it appears as 4.729

I upgraded my PHP to 5.3.4 and I am getting this error.

ADONewConnection: Unable to load database driver ''


I used the autoupdater but it never added the adodb53 directory so I deleted the scripts directory and ran the autoupdater again and it then created the missing adodb53 directory but not the /drivers subdirectory.

Ran the autoupdater again but still no /drivers subdirectory.


This is on a Win 7 64

Hi eric,

I know that Squog is working on some intermittent bugs in the CVS updater. In the meantime try loading the latest release source code file(s) directly from the sourceforge CVS tree http://seow.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/seow/MP4public/. I think you probably need "adodb53/drivers/adodb-mysql.inc.php".

Cheers,

4Shades,

Used the new updater and tried to load the file directly from..

http://seow.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/seow/MP4public/. I think you probably need "adodb53/drivers/adodb-mysql.inc.php".

I got to the adodb53 directory but there was no /drivers subdirectory in it.

Eric

There seems to be an issue with the old MP-AutoUpdate tool with recursion in source directory trees. Check out http://seowhq.net/seowforum/viewtopic.p ... 7&start=15 to see Squog's resolution of the flaky cvsnt executable.

Cheers,

OK, doing Squog's suggestion right now.

One question while I'm waiting. I'm looking at the Repositories and I'm looking in the mp4public/scripts/adodb53 and I see no /drivers directory in there. Should it be there?

Thanks eric

Wow, indeed they should. My development tree shows them as being uploaded to sourceforge, but they do not appear there... Investigating ...

Cheers,

Try it now... Not sure what went wrong there, but it seems OK now.

Thanks for being so persistent!

4Shades,

That fixed it!!!!!

I did get a bunch of errors at first but I must of had something bad in my mp-configuration file. I deleted it and updated again and all is working well.

Thanks

Eric

This is the only error thats popping up.

Hmm, I am confused. That code in the adodb53 directory should only be executed if your PHP is v5.3 or later. This code works without complaint on my PHP v5.3.x

According to the PHP website page fopr the mktime() function http://au.php.net/manual/en/function.mktime.php, the DST parameter is deprecated from v5.1.0 onwards. Your error message seems to demand that DST is supplied, contrary to the manual page. So to my addled mind it looks like your adodb53 code is being executed by an old PHP!

4Shades,

Since I would not be able to sleep till the error message was solved I decided to look at my php.ini settings.

I read some posts be some other people with the same error and one of the suggestions was to set the

date.timezone = "America/New_York"

My setting was commented out and once I set it that cleared up the error messages.


Eric

Flown a bunch more missions with PHP 5.3.4 and this is the only error message to come up.
