upgrading to php 5.3.6

Question

I just upgraded to dev box to OSX Lion which has php 5.3.6 (from Snow Leopard).

Now my Yii made sites are broken. How do I know what code is now broken with out finding them out one by one? Why is the code below broken? Is there something that I can turn on in the php.ini files to overcome these things? I need to get back to work but don't want to just go back to Snow Leopard to do so. Would appreciate help / guidance.

Here are some of the following errors:

Use of undefined constant style - assumed 'style' on

'htmlOptions'=>array(style=>'cursor: pointer;'),

Fixed by enclosing 'style'

'htmlOptions'=>array('style'=>'cursor: pointer;'),

Trying to get property of non-object (Within CJuiTabs) on

'Title' =>$this->renderPartial("_details", array('model' => $model), $this),

Not sure how to fix this one

Use of undefined constant Y - assumed 'Y' (Within CGridView dataprovider) on

$dataProvider = 
    new CActiveDataProvider('Bus', array(
          'criteria'=>array(
               'with' => array(
                  'address' => array(
                        'on'=>'busAddresses.Id='.$model->Id.' 
                               AND busAddresses.IsPhysical="'.Y.'"',

Not sure how to fix this one

Answer 1

Since you've implied elsewhere that you're getting more error messages than the few you posted, I'm going to assume that one of the errors you didn't post was something like this:

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent

Since the underlying causes of all these messages you're seeing isn't any different under your new version of PHP, a configuration setting is likely to blame for the difference. In particular, the display_errors setting, which simply controls whether the messages about all the errors, warnings and notices will be printed to the screen.

Apple's default php.ini file sets display_errors to Off, but you need to move the /etc/php.ini.default to /etc/php.ini to have that file take any effect. /etc/php.ini isn't carried over in an OS X upgrade, so it would make sense that you lost this setting.

Answer 2

 AND busAddresses.IsPhysical="'.Y.'"',

Y is a string in your case, so use it as a string:

 AND busAddresses.IsPhysical="Y"',
