Fatal error: Using $this

[kuroi]

DrByte raises a good point. In 1.3.8 this bypass is handled in a completely different way in a completely different place (i.e. modules/pages/create_account_success/header_php.php. So if you were to upgrade to 1.3.8, I would recommend making sure that the extra bit of code about which you asked is removed completely.

I looked in a few other Zen cart installs I have, all 1.3.7, and did not find that same bit of code in any of them. They all had:

zen_redirect(zen_href_link(FILENAME_CREATE_ACCOUNT_SUCCESS, '', 'SSL'));

I replaced it all with the code above and it''s working just fine. I'm not really sure where that other code came from.

Hi, just had the same problem after upgrading to php5.

This section of code:

if (is_array($this->contents)) { // if items in cart, then by pass create account success
zen_redirect(zen_href_link(FILENAME_CHECKOUT_SHIPPING, '', 'SSL')); // Redirects the
user to the "Shipping Information" part of the checkout (more streamlined).
} else { // no items in cart to show create account success page
zen_redirect(zen_href_link(FILENAME_CREATE_ACCOUNT_SUCCESS, '', 'SSL')); //
Original line of code that redirects the user to the "create account success" page. Adds another
step to the checkout process, and is not needed for a more streamlined approach.
}

Obviously conflicts with php5.

It was a way of streamlining the checkout process.

I shall let him know. Not sure if he has updated the code recently.

Thanks Kuroi, your alteration worked for me too.

Thanks Craig, it's useful to know where this snippet originated.
