osCommerce - PHP5

osCommerce is broken in PHP5. How to fix?

[bomdemais]

I just upgraded to PHP 5 (on Redhat Linux) and it broke osCommerce. I saw this comment in an old post about how to make osCommerce work in PHP5:

> all you need to do is to open up admin\includes\classes\upload.php and edit the line on or about line #31 that says
$this = null; to be
//$this >= null; and that should fix the issue.

That fixed one problem. But then the next problem I encountered was this:

PHP Fatal error: main() [<a href='function.main'>function.main</a>]: The script tried to execute a method or access a property of an incomplete object. Please ensure that the class definition &quot;navigationHistory&quot; of the object you are trying to operate on was loaded _before_ unserialize() gets called or provide a __autoload() function to load the class definition in /var/cvsroot/lc_all/webapps/ecommerce/catalog/includes/application_top.php on line 316

The 2nd oscommerce page you visit, when the navigationHistory object is found in the session, it is an "incomplete class." Dumping with print_r:

( 
 [__PHP_Incomplete_Class_Name] => navigationHistory 
 [path] => Array 
 ( 
 [0] => Array 
 ( 
  [page] => index.php 
  [mode] => NONSSL 
  [get] => Array 
  ( 
  ) 
  [post] => Array 
  ( 
  ) 
 ) 
 ) 
 [snapshot] => Array 
 ( 
 ) 
) 

Anybody know how to fix this? What other probs are there?

Thanks!

OK, I figured out the answer to my own question. I thot I'd post it in case anyone has the same prob.

I changed the navigation history code in application_top.php to this:

[pre]
// navigation history
 if (tep_session_is_registered('navigation')) {
 if (PHP_VERSION < 4 ¦¦ PHP_VERSION >= 5) {
 $broken_navigation = $navigation;
 $navigation = new navigationHistory;
 $navigation->unserialize($broken_navigation);
 }
 } else {
 tep_session_register('navigation');
 $navigation = new navigationHistory;
 }
 $navigation->add_current_page();
[/pre]

I'm not sure _why_ we need to "fix" the navigationHistory in PHP5, but oh well, it works.

I also had to add a php5 section for session.auto_start in .htaccess to get rid of warning (since i run with session.auto_start turned on):
<IfModule mod_php4.c>
php_value session.auto_start 0
</IfModule>
<IfModule mod_php5.c>
php_value session.auto_start 0
</IfModule>

Hope this helps someone.

Anybody found any other PHP5 issues with oscommerce?
