My install of openEMR is reporting Depreciated errors on php 5.3.10

Please advise the latest version of php supported so I can shift openEMR to an older server.

Also is there a timeline on php5.3 support?

Kind Regards
Michael

Hi Brady,
Thank you for reply.

We are testing OpenEMR for use in a General Practice www.stbenedictshealthcare.com

When try to login with “http://www.sbhc.tissuesupport.biz/openemr/interface/login/login_frame.php” after hosting provider “www.hosting24.com” upgraded us to a server using php5.3.10 we get
“Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in /home/tissuesu/public_html/sbhc/openemr/library/adodb/adodb.inc.php on line 861”

Please see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4673472/php-5-3-and-assigning-the-return-value-of-new-by-reference

Kind Regards

Hi Brady ,

OK, I now notice that this message belongs to the class of notices, not errors so if I can get the hosting provider to set "display_errors = “Off” this problem should go away. I will try.

Kind Regards
Michael

Hi Michael:

that message above is a warning.
magic_quotes_gpc was deprecated in php5.3
It is totally gone in 5.4
it will cause a fatal error in 5.4

Hi,
Magic quotes shouldn’t be an issue, but correct that the " Assigning the return value of new by reference" is an issue in php5.4. But, this should hopefully not be a problem in OpenEMR future 4.1.1 release. See here for more details:
