PHP Errors while updating

MGoldberg · July 12, 2018, 10:31am

I’m not sure what previous version I had but it was about 2 years old. I updated with 1.5.9 and replaced the new folder with my previous folder via FTP. I followed the instructions and copied the ifconfig.php.example and did all that and I’m getting the following message now.

Really hope that all of my invoices, quotes, and data have not been lost.

Please read the wiki carefully. It states for upgrades from versions to 1.5.0:

Then, delete everything in your InvoicePlane folder. Everything.

The file application/core/MY_Utf8.php is not present anymore in version 1.5.0 but is a left-over from a previous version. Delete it and try again.

This also applies to the second error in the file application/third_party/MX/Router.php which is not present anymore and should have been deleted.

Hi @Kovah, just confirming you want me to delete my entire directory of my installed InvoicePlane; ex www.website.com/invoice/ - deleting the “invoice” folder

Kovah · July 12, 2018, 12:14pm

No, not delete the entire folder now, just the

application/core/MY_Utf8.php file and the

application/third_party/MX/ directory

MGoldberg · July 12, 2018, 12:19pm

It returns with this. Since I still have the database file in phpMyAdmin is there a way delete the entire folder and somehow install the new folder to read from that old DB?

Ah my bad, mistaken the MX directory with something else. You should restore the application/third_party/MX/ from the install package. Sorry.

@Kovah will literally pay you to help me fix my FUBAR

Kovah · July 12, 2018, 7:10pm

I would suggest backing up the directory and starting with a clean install.
Then copy back the custom templates and uploads directory.

@MGoldberg

The problem is in the file and line stated in your error message :

protected function _set_request($segments = [])

The use of arrays (’’) as default function argument values is not supported in earlier versions of PHP,

Upgrade to a newer version of PHP (I suspect 5.5 or 5.6 and above).

crafter · July 14, 2018, 3:50pm

Alternatively remove those offending code. However, note that you may encounter errors elsewhere in your code.

// OLD : 
// protected function _set_request($segments = [])
// NEW
protected function _set_request($segments)
