PHP4 to PHP5 ?

2 New Member
I have a couple accounts through godaddy.com and they can't tech support it because it's a custom script. But on one account (i'm assuming its running php4) the script works fine, on the other account (running php5) it doesn't work hardly at all. What happens, is the information is emailed successfully, however, the information that the browser inputed does not POST to the server and the email contains the fields, but the answers are completely blank.

I also notice that no matter what I put for the email, it always errors out and says it's invalid (another suspicion). I modified the php.ini file to be the exact same as that of the other account (just switching one thing that was "off" to "on") and the global.inc.php file is the exact same as well.

Please help if you can! Thanks!!!!

Here is the script from the process.php page:


Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1.   <?php
  2. include("global.inc.php");
  3. $errors=0;
  4. $error="The following errors occured while processing your form input.<ul>";
  5. pt_register('POST','name');
  6. pt_register('POST','phone');
  7. pt_register('POST','phoneeve');
  8. pt_register('POST','time');
  9. pt_register('POST','city');
  10. pt_register('POST','state');
  11. pt_register('POST','Email');
  12. pt_register('POST','info');
  13.  
  14. if(!eregi("^[a-z0-9]+([_\\.-][a-z0-9]+)*" ."@"."([a-z0-9]+([\.-][a-z0-9]+)*)+"."\\.[a-z]{2,}"."$",$Email)){
  15. $error.="<li>Invalid email address entered<p><a href=javascript:history.back()>Go Back</a>";
  16. $errors=1;
  17. }
  18. if($errors==1) echo $error;
  19. else{
  20.  
  21. $where_form_is="http".($HTTP_SERVER_VARS["HTTPS"]=="on"?"s":"")."://".$SERVER_NAME.strrev(strstr(strrev($PHP_SELF),"/"));
  22. $message="Name: ".$name."
  23. Day Phone: ".$phone."
  24. Evening Phone: ".$phoneeve."
  25. Convient time to call is: ".$time."
  26. City:  ".$city."
  27. State:  ".$state."
  28. Email:  ".$email."
  29. More Info: ".$Info."
  30. ";
  31. $message = stripslashes($message);
  32. mail("myemailaddress@yahoo.com","Free Life Stratgey Submittal",$message,"Free Life Stratgey Submittal");
  33. ?>

Have you tried changing those pt_register fields to POST?
[php]
pt_register('PO ST', 'info');
#becomes
$info = $_POST['info'];
[/php]

I'm sure this is a FAQ - but I could not find a coherent statement of the answer: Some of my clients want PHP4. Other ones want PHP5. Can I run both PHP4 and PHP5 under the same instance of Apache - both on port 80 - using different file extensions to distinguish between them? --

Hi all, I've got a PHP4 app that I developed which I'm trying to get to run on a PHP5 server. Everything works great, except for one thing. There's a particular routine that creates an original object, then copies it. (The object constructor gets some meta information from the database, so I copy it for performance reasons). The routine then modifies the copies. PHP5 copies by reference by default, so this doesn't work--- I'm not
