cakephp: php version problem (i think) need help - php

so, i was building this website using cakePHP 1.2.1.8004 on my local and it was pre-developed until i got my hands on it, and yesterday i finally uploaded it so that it could go live, but apparently there's a lot of functions that were undefined and make my web goes all "white screen of death"
on my local i was using xampp 1.7.1 with php 5.2.9, and my online server is using php 5.2.17. i am thinking like the problems were coming from the php version difference, and i am trying to replicate it on my local by finding a xampp version which has the same php version, but apparently xampp doesn't have any bundle which includes php 5.2.17. now is there anyone who has had the same problem like i do, and confirm that the php version is really the source of the problem here so that i could reinstall the php on my server and downgraded it to pp 5.2.9? or should i look for another solution ?
thanks

This sounds suspiciously like a server rewrite issue. I would verify the URL rewrite is working correctly. Also, do you have debug turned on in core? It may shed some light on the issue as well.

Pear DB Error: extension not found

I am still new to php and linux but i try to give you all information I know.
We got a PHP web application using pear and smarty. It's runing on PHP 4 on a Linux system and with XAMP and PHP5 on my PC. I am trying to move the application on a new server with PHP7 and updated PEAR and all extensions (it's the same version as on XAMP), but all I get is: DB Error: extension not found.
I tried to find a solution but wasn't able to find anything which could help me.
The database we are using is a normal mysql database.
I'm not sure if there is still a path missing or what went wrong.
Maybe someone of you got a clue what the problem could be.
It sounds like your very old PHP4 code is using the mysql_ database extension?
If so that extension has been deprecated for years and was completely removed from PHP7. You wont be able to move that code to any version of PHP higher than PHP5.6 and even trying to do that you will almost definitely come across lots of other incompatibilities
I suggest you read http://php.net/manual/en/migration70.php in the menu on this page there is a section on migrating from all sorts of versions of PHP.
You will have to work out how far up the migration levels your code will actually move without major amendments. I would guess, not very far!

How to update MySqli to php5-mysqlnd

I recently started coding with Codeigniter, so fairly new, even to php.
I built my first app, installed it on server after Xampp. I got this error
Message: mysqli::real_connect(): Headers and client library minor version mismatch. Headers:50542 Library:50626
After searching online I found that I need php5-mysqlnd. I found this nice article but don't know where all these processes are happening.
Is there a tool in Cpanel where all these codes for updating php5-mysqlnd are taking place?
All I know I have Linux hosting version 5.4.45 with Hostgator.
it looks like I found another way to do it (not like the way that link said).
I was going through my CPanel and found an option to change my PHP version. I clicked and on next page it asked what all components I want to include, I couldn't believe "Mysqlnd" was one of them.
I changed it to 5.6 from 5.4.45. That's all it took.
Thanks a lot.

Issue running openx on windows 2008 R2 with IIS, PHP 5.4.5.0, and MySQL

I am trying to setup openx on Windows 2008 R2 with IIS, PHP 5.4.5.0, and MySQL. I have IIS setup and working, php setup and working (phpinfo(); works), and I have MySQL setup and working.
However when I try to hit
http://www.myserver.com/www/delivery/avw.php?what=bannerid:1411
I get the following returned:
GIF89a€ÿÿÿ!ù,D;
I want to say that I've seen something like this in the past and it was because I needed a PHP extension enabled. I thought it was GD2 so I enabled that in the php.ini: extension=php_gd2.dll. However that doesn't seem to have helped.
Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions why I'd be seeing this?
Thanks
Brad
There are bugs in OpenX when run on PHP 5.4. Until OpenX fixes these bugs (and they haven't as of 2.8.10), you'll want to apply the fixes mentioned in http://www.teslina.com/en/tutorials/openx/fehlermeldungen-problemlosungen/.
Namely the problem is that there is header information sent to the browser before the image is rendered, and because of that you're seeing garbage.

Version problem in php

I upgraded my system from Windows xp to windows 7. When i was in win xp i used the wamp server with php version 5.0 now i installed the wamp server with the version 5.3. But now it's making problem. The old projects are not running. Even-though they are created in php version 5. How i can solve this problem?
New versions of WAMP use apache 2.2.x and lovest php version supported for that is 5.2. That beeing said you can downgrade your php version of wamp installation by downloading a php addon http://www.wampserver.com/en/addons_php.php from here. Or you can ultimately downgrade WAMP apache installation from 2.2 to 2.0 http://www.wampserver.com/en/addons_apache.php . If your project don't work with 5.2 or 5.3 you need to debug and update your code with the latest changes in php http://php.net/migration53
There are some (but not many) backward-incompatible changes between PHP 5.0 and 5.3. But they're fairly obscure and not generally going to cause major issues. You can find the full details here: http://uk.php.net/manual/en/migration53.incompatible.php
However my guess is that it's more likely that you've installed the new version missing one or more extensions which your code is relying on.
For example, if you are using the pdo_xx() functions, you would need the PDO extension. Most PHP programs will use functionality from several extensions, and not all of them may be included in the default installation, so you need to ensure you have installed with all the ones you need.
The other possibility is that there's an issue with the installation (either PHP itself or the web server, etc) that is preventing PHP from running at all.
But this is all really a guess, because you haven't actually told us anything about what exactly the problem is. You need to look and see in what way it's failing. If you're not getting error messages in the browser, check the server error logs. This is the quickest way to diagnose the problem. It should give you some good clues (if it doesn't help you understand what's happening, paste the relevant log entries here, because they'll definitely make sense to someone)

PHP has encountered an Access Violation at 77FCAFF8

I am running a PHP site that uses Ajax and jQuery as well. The site will run fine for quite some time, and suddently my pages (and ajax-retrieved sub-pages) comes back with the message
PHP has encountered an Access Violation at 77FCAFF8
It seems that rebooting the server corrects the issue. Running PHP Version 5.1.6 (Windows NT 5.0 build 2195). I did a some searching on here and some other sites, and there seems to be no fix..
URL REMOVED
UPDATE:
I think I'm on to something.. will get back to you.
UPDATE
After reviewing the IIS setup, i noticed there was no Handler Mapping setup for the website. This, of course begs the question - how did it ever work in the first place, when it was originally setup this way!? I added the handler mapping and it seems to be Okay so far.
UPDATE
The problem popped its heads out again this morning after 36 hours without encounering it. Back to the drawing board.
UPDATE
We ended up just moving the site to a secondary web server where we were able to upgrade PHP without an issue.
This is a PHP issue somewhere. You could spend some time narrowing down which function you're using that is causing the problem. I would instead upgrade to a newer version of PHP. If still no luck, try a slightly older version. There have been significant changes with version 5.3.2.
After some research I think this may be the solution (Taken from http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=28929 ):

***************** SOLUTION!!!!
I realize this issue is AGES old, but it still manages to be the top hit on Google searches as of now (6/2010).
I fixed my own instance of seeing this error. W2k3, IIS6, PHP 5.2.6, MySQL 5.1.
The problem is in the pathing. When I used the MSI installer for MySQL without doing an "advanced" installation (where I could manage the install details), it added a path to the system environment that contained spaces. Even after changing the path environment to use the Windows short-name location of the mysql bin directory, it still didn't work.
The solution was for me to reinstall mysql and set the default installation path to just off the root (e.g. C:\mysql). Once I did that the error went away and my app started working.
There are a number of sites with a variety of potential solutions to this issue and several of them mentioned paths and the "libmysql.dll" file (in the "bin" directory of your mysql installation).
If this helps you solve your problem, consider leaving a comment here so others can see that it works.
