A problem after upgrading to php 7.2

fredbucket · Post by **fredbucket** » Thu Sep 05, 2019 3:42 am

A phpBB Board I administer has recently upgraded to php 7.2. As a result, this bit of code doesnt work anymore - it just gives a blank screen.

Can somebody please suggest what may be wrong. As may be gathered, my skills is this regard are demonstrably non-existent

Hi, welcome to phpBB.com!

Could you provide a link to your board and the page where you put this?

This isn't a PHP page, rather just HTML that's embedding another PHP page, so isn't too helpful and I also don't see the connection with phpBB at this point. Are you sure it's related to the board?

The issue is the scripts give 500s, hence blank pages. @see: http://prntscr.com/p23pax

The forum seems to be this one: http://www.pianophilia.com/phpBB3/index.php

I'm not sure whether phpbb 3.2.3 is compatible with php 7.2.
The problem could perhaps be solved in upgrading to 3.2.7.

In the sense that it is part of a phpBB board, yes it is

phpBB 3.2.3 is not fully compatible with PHP 7.2.

Moreover, your 2 files (searchFrame.php and searchResultFrame.php) give 500 Internal server error.

I suspect those 2 files are not compatible with PHP 7.2 as well.

You can try to downgrade to PHP 7.1 and have a look at your error log server side.

Wrong.

Nope, is right. I said NOT FULLY.

Example of a fix for 3.2.6-rc1 here: https://tracker.phpbb.com/browse/PHPBB3-15904

Example of a fix for 3.2.4-rc1 here: https://tracker.phpbb.com/browse/PHPBB3-15612

You can lurk at the search page to find the others: https://www.phpbb.com/search/?q=3.2.3+PHP+7.2
