Hey everybody, just stopping by to drop a note for those who are interested and are running PHP 5.3 on their dev boxes, that the subversion repo for the in-development v1.7.2 has been updated for compatibility with PHP 5.3.0.

If you encounter any issues, feel free to post them to this thread, or to the bug forum / tracker dropping a note here.

Thank you so much

Thank you very much.

Great, I’m glad to hear it!

Maybe it wouldn’t be a bad idea to put news on the website so people won’t get the impression that CodeIgniter was left behind and the team doesn’t care about the big leap in the PHP world (PHP 5.3).

It didn’t seem fitting for a news posting until the product is actually released with these changes; this forum post is a precursor.

any rough idea for next release?

No ideas yet, but you have the most up to date code through the svn.

SVN may contains unstable code? or it is safe for live sites.

Hey, which is it? Do you want cutting edge or stable? Pick one!  😛

Every effort is made to keep this codebase functional, but we cannot guarantee the functionality of code taken from the repository.

That said, you getting in there and testing it will only help how quickly it emerges as stable.

Hi guys,

I made php 5.3 upgrade and became with several warnings and errors, but surfing here on the CI foruns and SVN repo I am able to fix most of them. But I’m getting one that can’t deal with:

A PHP Error was encountered

Severity: Warning

Message: date() [function.date]: It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings. You are *required* to use the date.timezone setting or the date_default_timezone_set() function. In case you used any of those methods and you are still getting this warning, you most likely misspelled the timezone identifier. We selected 'Europe/London' for '1.0/DST' instead

Filename: helpers/date_helper.php

Line Number: 94

Please help.

Best Regards

I solved this issue by hammering the date_helper.php

In function mdate()

$CI =& get_instance();
date_default_timezone_set($CI->config->item('timezone'));

In application/config/config.php

$config['timezone'] = 'Europe/Lisbon';

I now that’s NOT how to do it, but I’m in a hurry. I’ll wait for a better solution.

Best Regards

Thank you for this news !

The correct way to solve this is to add the date.timezone directive to your php.ini file.

Thank you Derek,

The correct way to solve this is to add the date.timezone directive to your php.ini file.

That’s useful.

I think that will be a common setup item when any webhosting company upgrades php version, am I right?

Because I can access my php.ini, but in shared hosting I can’t.

Thank you once more.

Best Regards
