Phil ECT Moderator United Kingdom 7699 Posts	Posted - 03/17/2017 : 07:51:24 Hi Jamie, I run a few ECT sites on version 6.6.3 on PHP 7.0 - it is compatible, you may have to make a few minor changes though. For example, if your vsadmin/include.php file starts and ends like this <SCRIPT language="php"> content here </SCRIPT> It needs to be like this <?php content here ?> The same applies for any include lines you have on the store pages * Database Migrations and Conversions* * ASP to PHP Cart Conversions* *Contact Us* *Buy The PHP Capture Card Plugin* Rate Our Services/View Our Feedback

Posted - 03/17/2017 : 08:05:31 HI Phil i just put it back to 5.6 php and its working again but here what fasthosts said in our messages FASTHOST SAID : I run some further test and site is still showing a blank page i tried to check the error logs it gives me these said details: [Thu Mar 16 13:20:04.483550 2017] [fcgid:warn] [pid 38342] [client 74.208.134.21:54129] mod_fcgid: stderr: thrown in /home/linweb37/s/mysite.co.uk-1092262535/user/htdocs/vsadmin/inc/languagefile.php on line 10 I am afraid that your site is not yet compatible to a PHP 7.0 version, can you try to switch it to 5.6 instead? ..... SO i looked at my includes and it doesnt start with <SCRIPT language="php"> what else would i need to change as i would like to be running on php version 7 cheers Jamie
Phil ECT Moderator United Kingdom 7699 Posts	Posted - 03/17/2017 : 08:15:00 Hi Jamie, What version of ECT is this currently on? Are there any modifications at all? Have you checked your vsadmin/db_conn_open.php file to make sure the start and end tags are correct and you're using mysqli for the connection?

Posted - 04/13/2017 : 05:56:28 Hi Please can you provide the correct format for the mysqli command in the db_conn_open.php file please as mine is definitely out of date. [code]$dbh=mysql_connect($db_host, $db_username, $db_password) or die ('You need to set your database connection in vsadmin/db_conn_open.php.</td></tr></table></body></html>'); mysql_select_db($db_name) or die ('You need to set your database connection in vsadmin/db_conn_open.php.</td></tr></table></body></html>');[/code] Thanks Tim
Andy ECT Moderator 95440 Posts	Posted - 04/13/2017 : 05:58:10 Hi Tim The db_conn_open.php file should look like this <?php // You host should be able to provide you with these settings if you do not know them already $db_username = ""; // Your database login username $db_password = ""; // Your database login password $db_name = ""; // The name of the database you wish to use $db_host = "localhost"; // The address of the database. Often this is localhost, but may be for example db.yoursite.com ////////////////////////////////////////////////// // Please do not edit anything below this line. // ////////////////////////////////////////////////// $GLOBALS['ectdatabase'] = new mysqli($db_host, $db_username, $db_password, $db_name); if(mysqli_connect_error()){ ob_clean(); print '<html><head><title>Database connect error</title></head><body><div style="margin:20px;clear:both">Database Connect Error (' . mysqli_connect_errno() . ') ' . mysqli_connect_error() . '</div>'; print('<div style="margin:20px;clear:both">You need to set your database connection in vsadmin/db_conn_open.php</div>'); print '<div style="margin:20px;clear:both">For help setting your database connection please see...<br />'; print '<a href="https://www.ecommercetemplates.com/phphelp/ecommplus/instructions.asp#dbconn" target="_blank">https://www.ecommercetemplates.com/phphelp/ecommplus/instructions.asp#dbconn</a></div>'; print '<div style="margin:20px;clear:both">We also have a support forum here...<br />'; print '<a href="https://www.ecommercetemplates.com/support/" target="_blank">https://www.ecommercetemplates.com/support/</a></div>'; die('</body></html>'); } ?> Andy Please feel free to review / rate our software
timgreen Advanced Member 108 Posts Pre-sales questions only (More Details...)	Posted - 04/13/2017 : 06:05:57 Perfect thanks Andy. If anyone else has any 'gotchas' from moving to PHP7 I'd welcome any tips. I have updated connection file and includes file. Cheers Tim
Andy ECT Moderator 95440 Posts	Posted - 04/13/2017 : 06:11:48 The only other thing apart from what Phil kindly mentioned is to make sure you are on ECT Version 6.6.1 or above. Andy Please feel free to review / rate our software
OrientalOutpost Advanced Member China 302 Posts	Posted - 05/01/2017 : 23:38:44 Moving to a new server with PHP 7.1.4 and most things do work, except that I can't add anything to the cart due to use of a string as an offset for a variable in inccart.php Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Cannot use string offset as an array in /home/.../public_html/vsadmin/inc/inccart.php:2161 The offending code from inccart.php line 2161: $addedprods[$numaddedprods][0]=$theid; $addedprods[$numaddedprods][1]=$thepname; $addedprods[$numaddedprods][2]=$quantity; $addedprods[$numaddedprods][3]=$thepprice; $addedprods[$numaddedprods][4]=$idexists; $addedprods[$numaddedprods][5]=''; Also, intermittent problems with line 284 in incfunctions: Recoverable fatal error: Object of class vrNodeList could not be converted to string in /home/.../public_html/vsadmin/inc/incfunctions.php on line 284 Line 284: $this->childNodes[$this->length]=new vrNodeList($this->nodeValue[$this->length]); I guess I am stuck leasing two dedicated servers until I can resolve this and move my site/domain to the new server. I welcome anyone with any insight to these ECT PHP7 issues. http://www.OrientalOutpost.com
Andy ECT Moderator 95440 Posts	Posted - 05/02/2017 : 00:24:47 Hi We'll look into that for you if you'd like to subscribe to this thread. For version 6.6.4 I see line 2161 as ect_free_result($result2); so can you just confirm the version your store is running? Andy Please feel free to review / rate our software

timgreen Advanced Member 108 Posts Pre-sales questions only (More Details...)	Posted - 05/09/2017 : 02:59:35 Hi Andy If I leave the db_conn_open.php file as it was I am getting this error showing on the Home page: "PHP Deprecated: mysql_connect(): The mysql extension is deprecated and will be removed in the future: use mysqli or PDO instead in /<MY SERVER PATH>/vsadmin/db_conn_open.php on line 14" If I change it to your suggested code the error goes away but when you try and pay with WorldPay it comes back to the site with a message: "Access denied for user "@'localhost' (using password: NO)Access denied for user "@'localhost'(using password: NO) Cannot find details for order id: 4410 Any ideas? Thanks Tim
Vince Administrator 42831 Posts	Posted - 05/09/2017 : 03:57:58 Hi Tim It looks like the site is using the new connection ok but when you get to the vsadmin/wpconfirm.php page you are not using the same database connection. Could that be possible? Do you have a separate SSL part of the site or something like that with a different connection maybe? If that doesn't help, send the site FTP login to my email and I'll take a look for you.

seal Starting Member USA 9 Posts Pre-sales questions only (More Details...)	Posted - 04/17/2018 : 18:11:00 If changes have been made to one or more files for php version 7.x, why are these files not included in the updaters? 4seals
insight ECT Moderator USA 4479 Posts	Posted - 04/17/2018 : 19:55:02 Changes for PHP 7.x ARE included in the updater. However that can't be done in the case of vsadmin/includes.php and vsadmin/db_conn_open.php as both of those will have been customized for your site, so you are not going to be too happy if your changes get overwritten by new files in the updater. These two files are the only exceptions, and will only need editing for older templates, the current template offerings have these changes already and are fully compatible with PHP 7.x.
