It's probably better to do that replacement before adding that function  .

There is an unpleasant change when upgrading to new php versions. See https://www.php.net/manual/en/migration54.incompatible.php | Quote: | | Call-time pass by reference has been removed. |
Description of the problem for one case http://www.phpbb2refugees.com/viewtopic.php?p=8320#8320
This means that you need to look in all &$ files, and if this is not a function definition of function foo(&$var), but its call to foo(&$a); then delete & and, if necessary, transfer it to the definition. Which is very laborious. Another way is to test the forum, which is not much easier, and does not guarantee that all function calls that are not working correctly are detected.
Regex search with negation helped. The regular expression to search for ^(?!.*function ).*&\$.*$ Searches for strings with &$ if there is no function in the string. That is, it finds &$ except for cases of defining functions.
Use an editor that supports bulk regular expression searches. I used a Far Manager and plugin to it RESearch.
In Russian, this is called a "life hack". |

Hello. I run a website for fun and I am trying to get my forums to work on PHP 7.x. I make zero money off the site and pay the hosting fees out of my own pocket.
I had a thread here: http://www.phpbb2refugees.com/viewtopic.php?t=2557
But people stopped paying attention to it.
I have ZERO coding experience and people keep directing me to this thread as a source of how to fix my forums. This thread is very long and hard to follow and far too technical to be of any help to me.
My main problem right now is that posts show up as blank. I can see that people have fixed this, but I am unable to understand how to fix it. Is there anyone willing to give me simple, idiotproof step-by-step instructions on how to get my code working?
I can upload the entirety of the code minus the config file if necessary.
Alternatively, is there someone I could pay like $100 USD to just fix this for me? My forums have been down for over a month and it's really making me sad. |

is there some particular reason that you do not want to upgrade to phpbb3?
that would be the easiest and quickest thing for you to do.
getting phpbb2 to work with php 7+ is a pretty major bit of code editing etc. as you have found.
coverting phpbb2 to phpbb3.3 is pretty straight forward and unless your board is huge should not take very long to do.
it can also be done offline if you wish.
it also does not touch your phpbb2 installation but creates a new phpbb3 board and converts the database leaving the old database intact.

| I like the aesthetic of my current board and I will never be able to get PHPbb 3 to look exactly like PHPbb 2. I tried an upgrade once years ago and I wasn't happy with how the new installation looked, so we aborted it. I'd rather just pay someone to fix my current installation. |

I fixed that by removing the 'Replace naughty words' part from viewtopic.php which I do not use anyway

I do use the naughty words filter.
What would be a way to fix this code to work?
| Code: | // Replace naughty words
//
if (count($orig_word))
{
$post_subject = preg_replace($orig_word, $replacement_word, $post_subject);
if ($user_sig != '')
{
$user_sig = str_replace('\"', '"', substr(@preg_replace('#(\>(((?>([^><]+|(?R)))*)\<))#se', "@preg_replace(\$orig_word, \$replacement_word, '\\0')", '>' . $user_sig . '<'), 1, -1));
}
$message = str_replace('\"', '"', substr(@preg_replace('#(\>(((?>([^><]+|(?R)))*)\<))#se', "@preg_replace(\$orig_word, \$replacement_word, '\\0')", '>' . $message . '<'), 1, -1));

In the process of updating the Syd Lexia forum, 2 problems were not described. At least in this forum they could not be found about them.
Autocensor and selection after searching for found words. | Code: | open
viewtopic.php
find
$message = str_replace('\"', '"', substr(@preg_replace('#(\>(((?>([^><]+|(?R)))*)\<))#se', "@preg_replace('#\b(" . str_replace('\\', '\\\\', addslashes($highlight_match)) . ")\b#i', '<span style=\"color:#" . $theme['fontcolor3'] . "\"><b>\\\\1</b></span>', '\\0')", '>' . $message . '<'), 1, -1));
replace
$message = str_replace('\"', '"', substr(@preg_replace_callback(
'#(\>(((?>([^><]+|(?R)))*)\<))#s',
function($m){ return @preg_replace("#\b(" . str_replace('\\', '\\\\', addslashes($GLOBALS['highlight_match'])) . ")\b#i", "<span style=\"color:#" . $GLOBALS['theme']['fontcolor3'] . "\"><b>\\1</b></span>", $m[0]); },
'>' . $message . '<'
), 1, -1));
find
$user_sig = str_replace('\"', '"', substr(@preg_replace('#(\>(((?>([^><]+|(?R)))*)\<))#se', "@preg_replace(\$orig_word, \$replacement_word, '\\0')", '>' . $user_sig . '<'), 1, -1));
replace
$user_sig = str_replace('\"', '"', substr(@preg_replace_callback(
'#(\>(((?>([^><]+|(?R)))*)\<))#s',
function($m){ return @preg_replace($GLOBALS['orig_word'], $GLOBALS['replacement_word'], $m[0]); },
'>' . $user_sig . '<'
), 1, -1));
find
$message = str_replace('\"', '"', substr(@preg_replace('#(\>(((?>([^><]+|(?R)))*)\<))#se', "@preg_replace(\$orig_word, \$replacement_word, '\\0')", '>' . $message . '<'), 1, -1));
replace
$message = str_replace('\"', '"', substr(@preg_replace('#(\>(((?>([^><]+|(?R)))*)\<))#se', "@preg_replace(\$orig_word, \$replacement_word, '\\0')", '>' . $message . '<'), 1, -1));
*/
$message = str_replace('\"', '"', substr(@preg_replace_callback(
'#(\>(((?>([^><]+|(?R)))*)\<))#s',
function($m){ return @preg_replace($GLOBALS['orig_word'], $GLOBALS['replacement_word'], $m[0]); },
'>' . $message . '<'
), 1, -1)); |
PHP 5.6.x does not respond to Apache encoding, and files with the php extension give the "Content-Type text/html; charset=utf8". At the same time, files with other extensions give away the title of the Apache encoding, which may be different
The simplest solution is to write the necessary encoding in .htaccess | Code: | AddDefaultCharset windows-1251
php_value default_charset windows-1251 |
Set the encoding separately for Apache, and for php. Instead of windows-1251 write the national encoding
By the way, they could use Apache encoding for htmlspecialchars() and the like. Instead of having fun, adding weird "improvements". |

Thank everybody, this topic really help to upgrade phpbb2 to php7
i have problem, please help
code from common.php:
| Code: | if( is_array($HTTP_GET_VARS) )
{
while( list($k, $v) = each($HTTP_GET_VARS) )
{
if( is_array($HTTP_GET_VARS[$k]) )
{
while( list($k2, $v2) = each($HTTP_GET_VARS[$k]) )
{
$HTTP_GET_VARS[$k][$k2] = addslashes($v2);
}
@reset($HTTP_GET_VARS[$k]);
}
else
{
$HTTP_GET_VARS[$k] = addslashes($v);
}
}
@reset($HTTP_GET_VARS);
} |
I see at error.logs:
PHP Warning: addslashes() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in /var/www/hibinycom/data/httpdocs/forum/common.php on line 131
131 line is $HTTP_GET_VARS[$k][$k2] = addslashes($v2);

2 things to change:
Replace:
| Code: | | while( list($k, $v) = each($HTTP_GET_VARS) ) |
with:
| Code: | | while( list($v, $k) = each($HTTP_GET_VARS) ) |
and replace:
| Code: | | while( list($k2, $v2) = each($HTTP_GET_VARS[$k]) ) |
with:
| Code: | | while( list($v2, $k2) = each($HTTP_GET_VARS[$k]) ) |
In PHP 5, list() begins to assign from the right, while in PHP 7 it assigns from the left. So we have to swap them (see https://www.php.net/list). |

Thank you very much! Danke
But in *.php files in /forum/ function list(x,y) meets many times.
for exmaple:
/includes/functions.php:
while( list($check_topic_id, $check_post_time) = @each($new_topic_data[$forum_id]) )
while( list($key, $value) = @each($images) )
while ( list($match, $replace) = @each($lang['datetime']) )
/posting.php
while( list($var, $param) = @each($params) )
while( list($option_id, $option_text) = @each($HTTP_POST_VARS['poll_option_text']) )
and more more...
everywere replace it? |

Yeah, basically you have to do that in each file where this is used. |
