Upgrading from PHP 4.X to 5.2.14 -Will ZC 3.7, 3.8A, and 3.9 versions & mods work?

[Donn]

Thanks for the replies.

I am in the planning part of the process of upgrading now...I've never done it before, and I'm starting with the 1.3.7, but that's for another thread....



I wanted to upgrade my current version of PHP before upgrading the 1.3.7 cart, so that I can just install the new 1.3.9h cart without having to make the changes necessary for it to work with the older PHP, as I had to do for other 1.3.9H carts, because I will only have to change them back to work with PHP 5, once I upgrade.

(All my other 1.3.9H carts will likewise have to be fixed; when I installed them they didn't work with the cart code as-is.)



My concern is whether the 1.3.8a cart continue to work with the new version of PHP. Upgrading that cart is going to be a much more involved job, and I'd rather not have it not able to work without having something (tested, and being ready) in place to replace the old cart.

So, will 1.3.8A (and all mods) continue to work with PHP 5.2.14??

I am definitely going to upgrade that cart as well, but until then, I need it to work with the newer version of PHP.

Until I know for sure, I'm not going to do ANYthing further.

I also saw some post about some other PHP program that needed updating using global search-and-replace to update deprecated keywords in PHP. Is anything like that necessary for this??

Thanks...

v1.3.8a will work, but your mods may or may not ... depends on how each was written.

As far as Zen Cart core code, that's already been taken-care-of in the latest version.
