[Help] php4 to php5 error

hi friends,

I have my sites in a dedicated server with php4 and everything is work great.
But now I purchased a new dedicated server with php5 and got an error in one of my sites.

Can someone help me fixing him? Unfortunately, I don't understand anything about php to fix this errors my own.

The error is:

Line 2 of index.php file is:

session_start();

Code (markup):

Some part of the code:

<?
	session_start();
	
	$s=$_REQUEST['s'];
	$_SESSION['s']=$s;
	if($s=='')
	{
		$s=0;
	}
	
	$r=($s/30);
	$np=($r+1);
	if($np%3==0)
	{
		$nm1="skater1.jpg";
	}
	if($np%3==1)
	{
		$nm1="clip2.jpg";
	}
	if($np%3==2)
	{
		$nm1="img28.jpg";
	}

	$f=$_REQUEST['f'];
	$cn=$_REQUEST['cn'];
	$nm=$_REQUEST['nm'];
?>

Hi.
Looked into this, and found a thread here: http://www.dotdeb.org/2008/08/25/storing-your-php-sessions-using-memcached/ that might help explain the error.

Short version: you need to check your php.ini to see if the memcache is present and correctly set up, and maybe also check to see if the phpinfo() gives you the correct version and such.

If you have full server access, might be a good idea to check to see if the memcache is correctly installed too.

Read the thread I linked to, and see if it helps a little.

 

The error suggests that you had non-default PHP extensions and config options on the old server. You'll probably have to make sure memcached is installed, and then make sure the php-memcached extension is installed.

It's probably going to be worth having someone compare your old and new configs to bring the new server up to par. Chances are you're going to run into more errors like that with other extensions.
