Please peek at this thread and apply the changes from post #6 for when using older than php v5.2.3 ...

Thanks Ajeh for the support.

I went to the thread and applied the changes. I removed "TRUE" carefully in each file to insure integrity of the PHP files.

My payment modules are still listed but cannot be enabled or installed. Everything else seems to work ok..

I understand the PCI compliance issue and working to update my server to PHP5x

I am currently running the older version PHP4x but wanted to update to PHP5 after completing the zc upgrades. Unfortunately still have 3 stores running 1.3.7 and was concerned about updating to PHP5 since 1.3.7 is not compatible with 5.

I was getting hacked and cleaning files and monitoring constantly. Have cleaned files and folders, changed admin directory name and passwords. So far, OK.

Still get this error when trying to enable any of the Payment modules in 1.3.9h, even money order;

Should I (can I) upgrade from 1.3.7 to 1.3.8 first, upgrade to the latest PHP5 release and then update to 1.3.9h? Am under lots of pressure as holiday season approaches. The offline credit card module is no longer showing at checkout on these versions even though it is enabled.

Thank You,
