Installation error: Fatal error: Cannot re-assign auto-global variable

Hi,

Does anyone have any insight into this error? I am using 1&1 hosting for this site.

Fatal error: Cannot re-assign auto-global variable _FILES in /homepages/20/d119127254/htdocs/ParrotheadConnection-Dolphin7/inc/images.inc.php on line 227

Thanks!

I had the same issue when setup 7.0.9 ,the first time I try boonex, do not why, all step is correct before "

Install Script - Step 7 - Modules"

both on 1&1 hosting?

If both of you have a time please email me and lets check your site installation,

I've solved it, I think it is php version, try to use php 5.3 or 5.2 , my error is occurred

in 5.4 and now it is running under 5.2

Hi i had the same error ,I just replaced all "_Files" with "files".then reloaded the page .Thus i resolved the issue

What do you mean "replaced Files with files"? I have  the same error and I don't get what u mean...

You better test image uploading in photos and avatars. That is not a proper fix.

any news on this

i have  php 5.4.4

and  branches_7.1-16760

does not work

:(

I'm having the same problem as I do to solve the problem? Thank await answers

I had this issue with 5.4.7 but I have a feeling that it that fact that 5.4.7 is marked as EXPERIMENTAL

PHP always release 2 versions at the same time.

When PHP 5.4.7 was released, version 5.3.17 was released also. There is a reason for why there are two versions.

Dolphin 7 at least up to version 7.0.9 should not be run on the 5.4.x series of PHP. You should be running one of the 5.3.x releases.

The 5.4.x series of php makes changes in operation and elimination of features that are being phased out. It is not backwards compatible with software designed and released before PHP 5.4.x was first released. The 5.3.x series is backwards compatible.

change

$_files   to     $afiles

through out the script, starting with the error line usually line 227 at inc/images.inc.php

will work like a magic

that is when upgrading the server operating software from php 4 to php 5. d7 does not work with php5, and imagin we had to pay for it too, two licenses at $900,

try magento, it is free.

You are incorrect.

 I doubt they'll be able to use your magic, they were looking for help 420 days ago.

Correction: Dolphin 7.0.9 and lower do not support PHP 5.4+, because of changes that break the script - I'm sure more than old Dolphin sites were affected. Since any sane server setup is still on PHP 5.3, it shouldn't be much of a problem.

Hello,

Jjust wondering there is a fix for this yet. My web host is going to stop providing PHP 5.3 and is forcing me to use at least the 5.4 version. I only have a couple weeks to prepare for the change. Upgrading the site is not a viable option as I have so much custom work done with it.

If your host is not going to provide PHP 5.3, then you only have one choice; since trying to change your current Dolphin version to work on 5.4 is not an option.  That choice is to find another host that will allow you to run PHP 5.3.

I could provide you with a dedicated server running PHP 5.3; other offerings on Boonex could do the same.  And moving your database and site files is easy enough.  The question is what can you afford?   Are you going to have to go with shared hosting to save costs?  Some shared hosting should be avoided and we can help with that as well.

OK, Thank you for the reply G.G. I guess I have some big decisions to make very soon.

Even after they change the PHP version, your site files and database will still be intact.  If you can not move in time you can put up a splash page for your members so they know you are moving the site.  Of course it would be best to move the site before the due date.
