Searching ends white blank screen

[TomCZ]

Hi all,

one customer told me that the searching in my shop does not work. I try to search some words and it is true. Ii you try to search something the searching ends at a white blank screen. You can try it here: www.rctomik.eu (it is the same in Czech, English ...). Our second shop has the same problem. After instalation, it was OK, but I did not use searching for a long time so I can not say when the problem started.

Does anybody know what I can try to find the reason of this problem ?

I would try to reload the files for:
/includes/modules/pages/advanced_search_result/*.*

[Ajeh]

Also a good test is to switch to the Classic Template and make sure this is not your template itself breaking things ...

Hi Ajeh, thank you for your answer. I try to switch to the Classic temaplte, but it is the same problem and I also try to the original file header_php.php from ZC 1.3.7 instalation to my /includes/modules/pages/advanced_search_result/ store directory. I have no other files in this directory.
But the search results are still the same. Any other idea ? I really would like to solve this problem

I try to use the header search box, but the problem is the same

Might get something like Beyond Compare from scootersoftware.com to see what is different on your site vs the default Zen Cart v1.3.7 ...

[TomCZ]

So, you think to install new original 1.3.7 and then try to compare the differents ?
So I try.

Don´t you know if there is something I can track step by step what is going on when I press the search button ?

So, thanks to one e-mail consultation, may be I found the problem, but don´t know how to solve it.

The searching ends at blank screen on the server but when I try it on my local machine I get this error:

Fatal error: Only variables can be passed by reference in c:\program files\easyphp1-8\www\rctomikshop\includes\modules\pages\advanced_search_result\header_php.php on line 60

The reason is bacuase of differnt setup for error reporting on the server and on the loacl machine.


It is not only me who have the same problem:

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%22Fatal+error%3A+Only+variables+can+be+passed+by+reference%22&bt nG=Google+Search>

The first result from google gives the explanation:
http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=33643

In the file header_php.php on line 60 is:

if (!zen_checkdate($dfrom, DOB_FORMAT_STRING, $dfrom_array)) {

and in the function in file zen-cart-v1.3.7-full-fileset-12302006\includes\functions\functions_general.php is:

function zen_checkdate($date_to_check, $format_string, &$date_array) {

Does anybody know how to solve the problem with: &$date_array

We think that it is necessary to use for every link temporary variable if it is right in English):

Please, can someone help me ? I am not good in PHP.
