Michael,
Thank you so much I know the software is OLD and has HOLES!!!! Since I sent the last email I have been starting the process of fixing my OLD/DANGEROUS scripts I am going to dig thru your email and learn LOT'S! THANK YOU! > Hi Tim, > >> Errors like this >> >> strtotime(): It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone >> settings. You are *required* to use the date.timezone setting or the >> date_default_timezone_set() function. > A run of "/sbin/service cced.init restart" or changing the PHP settings > will fix that.

So you can actually uninstall the > 5.5 and install the 5.3 instead, which has MCRYPT as well. > > Then (to suppress the "deprecated" error messages UNTIL you have updated > your horribly outdated PHP scripts) you can modify your php.ini like > suggested on this URL: > > http://duntuk.com/how-disable-php-53-deprecated-errors > > Like said: I think it is a horrible idea to modify the server config to > allow it to run outdated and defective PHP scripts. Especially if it is > ecommerce stuff. > > And no: It is not possible to run different PHP versions side by side. > _______________________________________________ Blueonyx mailing list Blueonyx@mail.blueonyx.it http://mail.blueonyx.it/mailman/listinfo/blueonyx
