hi @JCF, what php version are you running and is this on shared hosting like cpanel?

[JCF (JC Fourie)]

Hi Stephen, php version 7.2 and yes, it is on shared hosting witrh cPanel.

[stephenwaite]

ok, think there’s a setting for the fileinfo extension on cpanel

mime_content_type() function not working

[JCF (JC Fourie)]

Thank you Stephen
That did the trick, working beautifully.

Hi - I’m getting the same fatal error. I’ve upgraded to 5.02 patch 5, nothing changed. Tried php 7.3 and 7.4

Tried this fix in php.ini (extension=php_fileinfo.dll) no change.

Any other options to try out there?

[sjpadgett (Jerry P)]

Version 5.0.2(any) is released on PHP7.2 though doubtful this is the issue but keep in mind.

Perhaps you don’t have the fileinfo extension installed and/or enabled on your server. Do a web search on how to check or do.
I see you have the ini extension set but on windows not the most reliable as ensure you restarted server and/or check your phpinfo to see that the extension is trying enabled.

[ognik (Alan Smith)]

Good point though I thought, so switched to 7.2 - thats made a difference, no more fatal errors, but new errors - including 1 saying the file was 0 size (it wasn’t), error 4 for a .docx file, and " The system does not permit uploading files with MIME content type - application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document."

I’m going to check fileinfo is installed, but inb the meantime - is there a thorough spec for how to have a reliable setup for loading docs?

[sjpadgett (Jerry P)]

This works for me on windows xampp v5.0.2 and PHP 7.4.2

@ognik

is there a thorough spec for how to have a reliable setup for loading docs?

Not that I know off top of my head

[ognik (Alan Smith)]

I confirmed fileinfo installed.

Seems to load a PDF if I use Chrome instead of FF -

but then when I come back to it, I can’t see the file.
AM I doing something wrong?
select patient, click ‘documents’, click ‘patient information’
Is there something else I need to do to see previously uploaded files?

docx files always get this error -

The system does not permit uploading files with MIME content type - application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document.

Are there file types not permitted?

[sjpadgett (Jerry P)]

I showed I can upload above and am also on PHP7.4.
For xml doc types(docx and doc) you may upload to store but can’t open in the view panel. Instead, should open a download dialog.

I don’t to leave you hanging but I can’t think of why you have this issue right now but, know it works and i’ll have to think it over.
Suggest you be on my patch 5 if not already.

OpenEMR 5.0.2 Patch

For those folks that installed my pre-patches for 5, they are not included in patch 5. So if you’ve install patch 5 you will have overwritten my pre patches. Pre-patches were for billing, encounters, new LBF templates for Portal and a feature change of using the inactive portal-user to assign permissions for portal reports. I’ve attached a full patch that includes my pre-patches and the security fix. I don’t have time to do an official patch so, this at least won’t leave you hanging.

[ognik (Alan Smith)]

Hi Jerry, had just installed patch 5 hoping it would fix this.
fileinfo wasn’t installed for 7.4 - which is why I got different result when I tried 7.2, now installed for 7.4 and giving same result as 7.2 … suggests not a php issue?

This is still in test so not urgent, I appreciate your efforts so far, will put on pause for a bit

[sjpadgett (Jerry P)]

yes but was it my patch version or the released patch that did not include several bug fixes not in released patch 5.

[ognik (Alan Smith)]

Released patch, I’ll install your addendum patch tomorrow and retest …

[ognik (Alan Smith)]

Hi - I got pulled away, just installed your patch now and I’m seeing some errors - see attached doc. The patient finder is stuck on the rotating red circle.

I suspect this may be an indication that something is not right with my installation, although I have been careful with the original install, patches etc. Is there any way of validating my setup? Are there any PHP etc. settings I should check?

I’m on php 7.4, fileinfo enabled, php-fpm enabled,
MySql: * Server version: 5.7.32 - MySQL Community Server (GPL)

Thanks, Alan

[ognik (Alan Smith)]

Hi again, I’m just wondering where to from here …
1). I found a way around the normal patient finder tab being stuck (new/search from the top menu drop-downs) - and I loaded a PDF with no hassles, and can access the doc later - so that seems fixed.
2). The depreciated warnings:
I am reluctant to hide them, I think they indicate something wrong with my setup, they all seem to refer to ‘new_comprehensive.php’ - here is an example:
Deprecated : Array and string offset access syntax with curly braces is deprecated in /home/emr502/public_html/openemr/interface/new/new_comprehensive.php on line 789
3). So the main issue now is the error when the Patient Finder tab loads, I get an alert:-
TypeError: msg.toLowerCase is not a function
URL: https://emr.clinicalthermography.co.nz/openemr/library/js/userDebug.js?v=51
Line: 44 Column: 26
Error object: “{}”

There are also a few depreciated messages, all refer to patient.inc e.g.
Deprecated : Array and string offset access syntax with curly braces is deprecated in /home/emr502/public_html/openemr/library/patient.inc on line 882

After I click ‘OK’ in the alert box, I get a rotating pair of red arrows, and the screen stops loading - no details.

I’m reluctant to fiddle, appreciate any help

Hi Alan,
v5.0.2 has issues on PHP 7.4. If need to turn off deprecated errors. They can cause you problems. v6.0 will be released in a couple days. Why not upgrade…

[ognik (Alan Smith)]

Good to hear, I will definitely upgrade

What PHP version is best for EMR?

The thing I worry about a little, is that I have done some extensive work with patient demographics (though always using the EMR demographic editor) - and that does affect the patient_data record structure … any thoughts on that?

Cheers
Alan

[sjpadgett (Jerry P)]

If using layouts editor then no worries with upgrade. If you have custom code for a report etc well then you’ll need to refactor to new version.
For PHP, Brady worked hard to be PHP8 compatible for v6 however, v6 runs fine on PHP7.4 which is where i’d stay till PHP8 matures awhile.

[ognik (Alan Smith)]

Great. Thanks Jerry, support much appreciated.
