Upgrading an old database with paypaldp and going to PHP 8.2 - it's possible that you may get this error:

Code:

---

PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Undefined constant "MODULE_PAYMENT_PAYPALDP_MERCHANT_COUNTRY"

/home/YOURACCOUNT/public_html/includes/modules/payment/paypaldp.php:264

---

If this happens, simply go to Admin > Modules > Payment and visit the PayPal configuration page to fix it.


This issue is fixed in Zen Cart 2.0.0 via https://github.com/zencart/zencart/pull/6144/files ... which is safe to apply to your v1.5.8 site too.
