Cannot edit payment module settings php7.3

[swguy]

Carl, would you please put in a PR to change these three to now():

./configuration.php: last_modified = '" . NOW . "'
./includes/functions/admin_access.php: $sql .= "last_modified = NOW()
./product_types.php: last_modified = '" . NOW . "'

with regards to the debug logs, you need to be able to read them. yes the one file had warning, but look at this one:

PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '[', expecting ',' or ';' in /home/chainwea/public_html/includes/modules/payment/linkpoint_api.php on line 320.

that is an error. a syntax error. that's what caused the page to stop loading. and so you could not see what is on the right. and frankly, the syntax has not changed from php5.6 to php7.3; so i am highly doubtful that error would not exist in php5.6. maybe, but highly doubtful.

This syntax did indeed change in PHP 7.3.

Change

global $$order_totals[$i]['code'];

to

global ${$order_totals[$i]['code']};

I used the latest zc156c zip file copied over onto the live site.

If you're going to do it that way, you have to manually remove the files in the deleted files list.

(I personally like to *start* with the new release and add back in what I truly need.)

Short circuit 'tween the ears on my part. That's what I have now.

ah.... yes.... i remember that one. thanks for pointing that out! that caused pain on a previous upgrade... good catch!

thanks!

i put in a PR for 1 of the 3 changes you mentioned above... i'll hit the other two tomorrow...

best!

the change on admin_access is not necessary.... but i did it for consistency.... oy!

Sorry, I did read this through but I'm totally lost as to what to do to fix the issue! Is there a fix? If I upgrade to the latest version of the software does that fix it? All help would be GREAT! as I'm wanting to remove a payment method and of course I currently can't

A properly performed upgrade would more than likely fix the issue (there is still some dependence on the database settings of being strict or not), but more than likely there is a php version store software mismatch to some extent. The first thing to do to resolve the issue is to identify the specifics of the issue which comes from reviewing the myDebug-adm-xxx log that is in your logs directory generated at or about the time you last tried to access the payment module section. More than likely the linkpoint_api file is one of the culprits. By removing it from the load path (deleting the module file and the module's language file), the next issue should be identifiable if there is one otherwise you should be able to access the remainder of the payment modules.

So, I've done the upgrade and it didn't solve the payment issues of not displaying on the right side of the page. I've kept my website down for maintenance though so I really need to figure this out and have the site running on the newest software. Could you please explain to me once again what I need to do now. hopefully step by step so I can get this fixed. TIA
