2.0.14 error

[Rogerd]

we do not require php 7. php 5.4.* should be fine.

Thank's Illori, and would apache 2.4 be ok, and I take it if I upgraded to PHP 7.0 it wouldn't be a problem, thank's

What I'm trying to say is PHP 7.0 and apache 2.4 would be ok to use without problems.

I got the host to upgrade to PHP 7.0 and apache 2.4 and all is now well, thank's for the help.

public function select($database, $connection = null)

I do not know if it's right.

        mysqli_connect($db_server,$db_user,$db_passwd,$db_name);

No, it isn't going to be right.

Code (SMF 2.0.13) Select Expand


'db_query' => 'smf_db_query',


Code (SMF 2.0.14) Select Expand


'db_query'                  => array($this, 'query'),

an array is not a string?

[Yarik1980]

No, it isn't going to be right.

Yes, I already tried
I'm trying to find a solution

[Arantor]

Indeed it is not, and some versions of PHP do not like that being passed in for a variable function.

What I don't get is why the contents of smf_db_query weren't replaced outright which would have avoided this change.

I disabled the output of errors in this file because they really annoy
I will wait for the decision of this error

Similar issue and similar solution using IIS 7.0.  Moved from PHP 5.3  to PHP 5.4 and our forum stated working again.

I would try to go 5.6 bob if you can if you nothing other than SMF.

[15-May-2017 17:21:10 America/New_York] PHP Fatal error:  Function name must be a string in /home/X/Sources/Load.php on line 133

PHP Version 5.3.29

You really should update to something that isn't several years out of date.

[4Kstore]

Sure, in the meanwhile I just rolled back all changes in Subs-Db-mysql.php and then I uninstalled the 2.0.14 update.

Same problem here:  Fatal error: Function name must be a string in ............Sources\Load.php on line 142

Any ideas on how to fix this without upgrading PHP?

How do you upgrade PHP from 5.3 to 5.4 on Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition?

Thanks for any help on this.

[vbgamer45]

Get 5.6 http://windows.php.net/download/  Install the runtimes in the sidebar based on the VC version used for PHP
Make sure you get thread safe for windows IIS 6.0

[jmille44]

Does the above apply for Apache?

[vbgamer45]

I have done both For apache on windows you can go two ways either fastcgi or the module based. I prefer to go the fast cgi route vs the module.  If doing fast cgi you want thread safely off. If module for apache then thread safely is on.  If you are on windows 2003 make sure you have all the windows updates asap. There is nasty worm going around. Microsoft did release a patch.
