PHP5.4 and Zen Cart 1.5.x?

I'm keen to find out if anyone is running Zen Cart 1.5.x on PHP5.4 and has found any issues?

I'm about to commission a new server with PHP5.4 but need to ensure that the current version of Zen Cart will run on it.

NB: I'm not concerned with older versions 1.3.9.x or older.

Any real live experiences would be much appreciated!

Many thanks, Edith

Re: PHP5.4 and Zen Cart 1.5.x?

I have my shop and vanilla 1.51 running locally on php 5.4.16 (Xampp 1.82-2) without having to do anything.
I checked it on 5.5 (Xampp 1.83) too with no ZC issues, just had problems with Apsona Shopadmin so reverted to 5.4.

I have 1.5.1 running on php 5.4 just fine. Sometimes there is a warning in the logfiles, but no errors.

Re: PHP5.4 and Zen Cart 1.5.x?

My Hosting (Terranetworks) ran a server upgrade last night using PHP5.4 and crashed my site.
They say I need to set register_globals and register_long_arrays to off as these settings are not currently compatable.
they have reverted back to PHP 5.3 in the mean time

I believe the custom php.ini file on your account was still there from an older Zen Cart version, the newer Zen Cart you are using right now works fine with 5.4 but the php.ini file with these settings in place caused a 500 error. So in your case I believe it was the php.ini file that was incompatible with 5.4, not the Zen Cart shop itself.

Sincere apologies for the impact on your site and please contact our helpdesk if you have any concerns.
