php-5.3

As of yesterday (perhaps after a recent PHP update?), I'm getting some very strange non-deterministic bugs in php 5.3.3. These appear in our production server in PHP 5.3.2 as well. The errors essentially amount to Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'ErrorException' with message 'Attempt to assign property of non-object' in various parts of the code base. Generally, the error line is something like: $this->foo = $bar in a __construct() call. $this is not found in the constructor?! I have no idea what is going on. Any ideas? Is this possibly a regression of this bug?: http://bugs.php.net/31525 Edit

I have this code: $tierHosts['host'] = isset($host['name']) ? $host['name'] : $host; It's working fine in PHP 5.5, but in PHP 5.3 the condition returns true while $host contains a string like pjba01 . It returns the first letter of $tierHosts['host'] , that is, p . What's so wrong with my code? You can access strings like an array and prior PHP 5.4 offsets like your name were silently casted to 0, means you accessed the first character of that string: character | p | j | b | a | 0 | 1 | ----------------------------------- index | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | After 5.3 such offsets will throw a

I have the below HTML string, and I would like to turn it into an array. $string = ' <a href="#" class="something">1</a> <a href="#" class="something">2</a> <a href="#" class="something">3</a> <a href="#" class="something">4</a> '; Here's my current code with DOMDocument : $dom = new DOMDocument; $dom->loadHTML($string); foreach( $dom->getElementsByTagName('a') as $node) { $array[] = $node->nodeValue; } print_r($array); However, this gives the below output: Array ( [0] => 1 [1] => 2 [2] => 2 [3] => 4) But I am looking for this result: Array ( [0] => <a href="#" class="something">1</a> [1] =>

If I iterate through an array twice, once by reference and then by value, PHP will overwrite the last value in the array if I use the same variable name for each loop. This is best illustrated through an example: $array = range(1,5); foreach($array as &$element) { $element *= 2; } print_r($array); foreach($array as $element) { } print_r($array); Output: Array ( [0] => 2 [1] => 4 [2] => 6 [3] => 8 [4] => 10 ) Array ( [0] => 2 [1] => 4 [2] => 6 [3] => 8 [4] => 8 ) Note that I am not looking for a fix, I am looking to understand why this is happening. Also note that it does not happen if the

Is it possible to do the following? register_shutdown_function('my_shutdown'); function my_shutdown () { file_put_contents('test.txt', 'hello', FILE_APPEND); error_log('hello', 3, 'test.txt'); } Doesn't seem to work. BTW i'm on PHP 5.3.5. It depends which SAPI you are using. The documentation page for register_shutdown_function() states that under certain servers, like Apache, the working directory of the script changes. The file gets written, but not where your .php file is ( DocumentRoot ), but in the folder of the Apache server ( ServerRoot ). To prevent this, you need to some sort of

This question already has an answer here: PHP syntax for dereferencing function result 22 answers My script is working really fine on my xampp. Now I tried to upload it on the server, but it spat directly a Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '[' in my face. :( The line which its mocking about is this one: $item = $xml->xpath($path)[0]; And I have no idea what is wrong. I tried to look on the php 5.3 changelog but did not found anything about it. (Because I have 5.3 on the server, and on xampp its an olderversion) The whole code block looks like this: $path = '//item[@id="'.$id.'"]'; if (

I have a legacy business application built on MS SQL Server 2000. I have some webbased utilities that access this database using PHP 5.2 with mssql extension. I need to reinstall the web server, and I looked forward to upgrade to PHP 5.4. Unfortunately, the mssql extension is not supported on PHP 5.3 and newer. There is the sqlsrv extension available form Microsoft , but the description says that it is only supported for accessing SQL server 2005 and up. How can I connect to my SQL Server 2000 from PHP 5.4 ? Did anyone already solve this issue ? This is a really complicated issue. Here are the
