Public bug reported: Relevant installed packages: phpbb3/xenial,now 3.0.14-1ubuntu1 all [installed] php7.0-common/xenial-updates,xenial-security,now 7.0.4-7ubuntu2.1 amd64 [installed,automatic] php7.0-gd/xenial-updates,xenial-security,now 7.0.4-7ubuntu2.1 amd64 [installed,automatic]
I believe the package phpbb3 uses a version of phpbb that has a depricated syntax (when used with the php version it pulls in via APT) in its captcha plugin. It is located in /usr/share/phpbb3/www/includes/captcha/plugins/phpbb_captcha_gd_plugin.php on line 55. All I had to do to fix it was change $instance =& new phpbb_captcha_gd(); to $instance = new phpbb_captcha_gd(); as described here: https://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.php?p=12797072#p12797072 ** Affects: phpbb3 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: captcha php phpbb phpbb3 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1602823 Title: phpbb captcha uses depricated syntax To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/phpbb3/+bug/1602823/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
