error codes for shipping_estimator.php

[RodG]

We have same problem after upgrading to server with php 5.4.20. we also use OzPost.
Problem only for guests, no problem after logging in or in checkout.

[11-Oct-2013 01:55:25 Australia/Sydney] PHP Warning:  Creating default object from empty value in /home/bubsgr/public_html/includes/modules/shipping_estimator.php on line 92

i don't think I can role back PHP on this server, and moving server is not be best option
We also get a warning with latest Fast and Easy checkout which should be for a different post

Although I'm not sure if these two problems are related, if they are, you've just saved me a lot of debugging :)

You could try this (Found via google):

In your php.ini change
error_reporting = E_ALL
to error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~E_STRICT If you don't have access to the php.ini, you can potentially put this in your .htaccess file:


php_value error_reporting 30711 This is the E_ALL value (32767) and the removing the E_STRICT (2048) and E_NOTICE (8) values.

If you don't have access to the .htaccess file or it's not enabled, you'll probably need to put this at the top of the PHP section of any script that gets loaded from a browser call:


error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_STRICT & ~E_NOTICE); ----------------------------------------------

All being well this should take care of the PHP warnings, and if it takes care of the "Problem only for guests" issue with Ozpost (Which I also assume only affects guests trying to obtain overseas quotes) then that will be icing on the cake.


Feedback will be greatly appreciated.

still getting error

you may have a look at http://www.bubs2grubsknitting.com.au...ping_estimator

initially everyone gets 'Flat Rate (Express Post) $14.00' before post code is entered, with this error

[11-Oct-2013 23:39:26 Australia/Sydney] PHP Warning: Creating default object from empty value in /home/bubsgr/public_html/includes/modules/shipping_estimator.php on line 107

then when postcode is entered it crashes, with this error

[11-Oct-2013 23:39:34 Australia/Sydney] PHP Warning: Creating default object from empty value in /home/bubsgr/public_html/includes/modules/shipping_estimator.php on line 92


I believe our php.ini is working because I started getting errors about using UTC then I added date.timezone and that was fixed. I tried adding php_value error_reporting 30711 to htaccess but crashed, i can try adding it the shipping estimator but I am not even sure what it is just now, i could look at it later

I think you probably mean that you are still getting TWO DIFFERENT errors (that may or may not be related. This is still under investigation).

This is ONE of your problems, and it could well be an ozpost related issue. (This is still under investigation).

This is NOT an Ozpost related error. This is a PHP related error that has *nothing* to do with ozpost.
/shipping_estimator.php is one of the core zencart files and ozpost doesn't make any changes to this file in any way.

To fix this PHP related error please see the fix provided by 'robbie269'

Again, this is NOT an ozpost error.

This is a new one to me However, I've just looked at the code, and you should be able to apply the same fix mentioned in the linked post I just gave, however, you'll need to add the 'fix' code immediately before line#92

I believe our php.ini is working because I started getting errors about using UTC then I added date.timezone and that was fixed. I tried adding php_value error_reporting 30711 to htaccess but crashed, i can try adding it the shipping estimator but I am not even sure what it is just now, i could look at it later

These fixes are/were designed to stop the error reporting rather than fixing the actual errors (which shouldn't be causing any problems anyway). The fix that robbie269 has provided is fixing the cause of the error messages. In theory, these shouldn't be affecting the ozpost processing in any way (the flat rate problem), so please keep this in mind when proving further error reports. If you treat this as a single ozpost problem you will simply confuse yourself (and me). Especially me. I'm easy to confuse :)
