My script is not working since host upgraded php to 5.2.12

Hi guys

I left my script in working condition but my host upgraded php to 5.2.12 and since that upgrade my script is not working. I troubleshoot and find that script is not connecting with database.

Any idea what is difference between previous i.e. 4.... and 5.2.12 version regarding database connectivity? Which things I need to check?

There are a ton of changes from 4 to 5.2.

Turn error_reporting to E_ALL.

Most likely it was something like register_globals. If you can, try compare your php.ini files between the 2 versions.

 

I had that problem to. I just emailed my host asking to change back to 4.

 

You should try posting the error here so that we can help you troubleshoot the problem.

Thanks.

 

Not a good plan. PHP 4 will be gone forever sooner or later. Might as well deal with the upgrade on your own terms, rather than having to rush when it's suddenly announced that you can't use anymore.

 

Yes, it'll be better to find parts of code which must be changed.
But if there are lots of mistakes - you can try to add such line to your .htaccess file:
