with 7.3.2 I have problems with PHP

[henkp]

Hello,

I must say I am not a software specilist, but a i'm an 74 old tech.

After I have installed XAMPP for Windows 7.3.2 with PHP I have a PHP app MINISHOWCASE version_v09b142 for a gallery
from https://minishowcase.net/

Long time (12 year) it was running with EasyPHP 1.8.x good under windows xp and 7 and
now not working with Windows 7 64bit and XAMPP

The html is working for example www.h-peters.com for de main page

but the minishowcase folder www.h-peters.com/maaike is not working

http://www.h-peters.com/maaike/test.php you see the page with versions

AutoIndex-2.2.4. is working OK see www.h-peters.com/dalg35/index.php

What do I not good, or is a setting missing?

Thank You,

Henk

As you can see, ereg_replace is unknown.That function has been removed from PHP7.

That simpy means that minishowcase has not been adapted to PHP 7, obviously its not maintained anymore. It does not run with PHP7.

Thank You Nobbie ,

It is not what i was hoping for but i know now i have to make something else for a gallery.

BUT I have read at https://minishowcase.net/instructions

This is what you need to run this software:

PHP 7.0 or newer:

Due to the PHP documentation, ereg_replace was already deprecated since PHP 5.3.0 and has been removed with PHP 7.0.0. Obviously the developer of minishowcase does not recognize warnings and neither checked with newer PHP versions.

Actually it is not a big deal to replace ereg_replace by preg_replace if you have some basic PHP skills. Did you try to contact minishowcase support? Actually that is not a Xampp issue.

version_v09b142 was released 2014. The website looks much more up to date.
So i assume that the version you got is outdated and there is maybe a more current version available.
But at the end it is a third party application issue, so asking the developer for support is the much better way.

Hello man,

Thank You for the info, I look for a newer version and if not I contact minishowcase support.

Thank You

Ah, getting clearer now. You are the problem by yourself using a totally outdatet version (what you definately knew about!).

version_v09b142 was released 2014.

Actually quite earlier, I found this download:

I am pretty sure that we are dealing with THIS download and NOT from minishowcase, as it is quite impossible to get that version fromt minishowcase directly. Henk *should* know where he downloaded it...

holy crap. i relied on the last update date on heise software. didn't realized it is sooo god damn f***ing old.

let it die, it's not worth investing just a single minute in trying to get this running
