Description

Saw this in the error logs.

Sociable is one of the plugins we hide from sites that do not have it already activated. It uses split(), which has been removed in PHP 7.0.

Not sure why our linter did not pick this up. Going to apply a hotfix in a bit.

Thanks for catching this - I have already found some other bugs in a theme and put hotfixes in place. I will open a separate ticket for this.

  • Subject changed from Sociable plugin uses removed split() function to PHP 7.2 Incompatibility Problems
  • Status changed from Resolved to In Progress

Renamed the issue so we can track other problems with plugins and themes since the PHP 7.2 deployment.

Plugins:
- openbook-book-data - Uses ereg(), which was removed in PHP 7.0. Fixed in https://github.com/cuny-academic-commons/cac/commit/9dd369e5e17b2d6ea212f9ae30d4d5ce5801cb4f and deployed as a hotfix.
- tylr-slidr - Uses split(), which was removed in PHP 7.0. Fixed in https://github.com/cuny-academic-commons/cac/commit/db04371e3632eb1fdc314509d23ac91bb65e67e4 and deployed as a hotfix.
- easy-visualization-tools - Uses invalid array syntax. Fixed in https://github.com/cuny-academic-commons/cac/commit/827481fd0e7689bebc9ca1a610a3efaa656ffba0 and deployed as a hotfix.
- layerslider - Uses invalid array syntax. Fixed in https://github.com/cuny-academic-commons/cac/commit/913bddde9ccf6ef3bf7ed64cc0d0f4fc47013d3e and deployed as a hotfix.

Themes:
- thematic - Uses ereg() and ereg_replace(), which was removed in PHP 7.0. Fixed in https://github.com/cuny-academic-commons/cac/commit/306bdcb6cee041a9a6d3ca56f66508ceea69b19f and deployed as a hotfix.

I fixed a few other fatal errors unrelated to the PHP 7.2 upgrade that showed up in the logs:
https://github.com/cuny-academic-commons/cac/compare/9dd369e5e1...ac4df58

These haven't been deployed as hotfixes, but are staged for 1.13.12.

Thanks, Ray.

https://github.com/cuny-academic-commons/cac/commit/66fcd9aed135fc097cde087f0c4cc1f9ee1310c6 contains fixes for the Atahualpa theme.

These didn't get caught because they're not detected by PHP's linter. I guess you need static analysis tool for deprecated/removed functions. I'll look into setting this up.

backtype-connect caused some fatals due to incorrect use of wpdb::prepare(). Fixed in https://github.com/cuny-academic-commons/cac/commit/1bd2dd37a88ae07d5748ae7c9ec2c24d02034595

In https://github.com/cuny-academic-commons/cac/commit/77ddf400f6dc9e81a8b85faef48970f59de9e7fc I added a composer setup so that you can use the PHPCompatibility-WP tool. Run `composer install`, then:

./vendor/bin/phpcs -p wp-content/plugins/gallerypress/ --standard=PHPCompatibilityWP --runtime-set testVersion 7.2-

Change the path to match what you're scanning. Running on the whole codebase takes a very long time, so I'll see what can be done about targeting it more, and integrating into CI.

A bunch more updates. Some are hotfixes (as in the case of abandoned plugins). Some are cases where I've determined that the linter can safely skip the file/folder, generally because the code is never loaded on the Commons.

A number of themes have been completely removed as part of this initiative in conjunction with #10034. See https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/10034#note-9, https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/10034#note-11

Our CI build is now passing, but there's likely a few more things that need to be caught that manifest only in production (like when strings are manipulated as arrays). I'll do a review tomorrow of the fatal error log to catch these instances.

I have fixed many more instances. See https://github.com/cuny-academic-commons/cac/search?q=10564&type=Commits.

Looking over fatal errors from the last few days, I'm pretty sure I've got all (or nearly all) of those that are related to PHP incompatibility. I also tackled a fair number of warnings related to PHP compat.

There are a few more persistent warnings showing up in the logs. Some of them are associated with plugins that are actively maintained, so I don't want to hotfix them. (feedwordpress is one example.) Others come from Apache config ("hostname provided via sni...") and so are not things we can fix. Still others are due to what are, I'm sure, legit bugs, but the causes and fixes are not obvious. (For example, we're getting lots of "not countable" errors from update_metadata(), which implies that something's passing bad values into the function; I've set up a logger for this.)

Given the above, I'm going to close the ticket. Additional issues can reference this one.
