JasT created the topic: error_log: PHP Deprecated

Using the following version from the breezingforms.xml file info:
COM_BREEZINGFORMS
2018-03-08
(build 931)

On the following platform and version:
Joomla! 3.9.13
OS: Linux n
PHP: 7.2.25
MySQLi: 5.6.45

I see this in my error_log file:
[08-Dec-2019 23:34:01 UTC] PHP Deprecated:  The each() function is deprecated. This message will be suppressed on further calls in / (ANON) /plugins/content/breezingforms/breezingforms.php on line 192

the LINE 192 that it points to is:
while (list($prop, $val) = each($_REQUEST))

Please advise...

Hello,

This is rather a notice than an error message, but here is how you can remove it.

Go to JOOMLA ROOT/plugins/content/breezingforms/breezingforms.php, open the breezingforms.php file and around line 192 replace the following code:
reset($_REQUEST);
		while (list($prop, $val) = each($_REQUEST))
			if (!is_array($val) && substr($prop,0,9)=='ff_param_')
				$ff_request[$prop] = $val;
with this code:
// reset($_REQUEST);
			foreach($_REQUEST as $prop => $val) {
				if (!is_array($val) && substr($prop,0,9)=='ff_param_')
					$ff_request[$prop] = $val;
                        }
That should do the trick, the error message should be gone.

Let me know whether that resolved the issue.

Regards,

Mihaela

On this - there's another issue on line 242. How should that be changed?
while (list($prop, $val) = each($ff_request)) $url .= '&'.htmlentities($prop, ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8').'='.htmlentities(urlencode($val), ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8');
	$params =   'id="ff_frame'.$form->id.'" '.
				'src="'.$url.'" '.
				$framewidth.
				$frameheight.
				'frameborder="'.htmlentities($border, ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8').'" '.
				'allowtransparency="true" '.
				'scrolling="no" ';

Okay, after applying your fix, I now get this new error in the error_log:
[09-Dec-2019 19:25:45 UTC] PHP Deprecated:  The each() function is deprecated. This message will be suppressed on further calls in / (ANON) /plugins/content/breezingforms/breezingforms.php on line 242

Please advise.

Hello,

Hello, to fix this and remove the notice go to Joomla root/plugins/content/breezingforms/breezingforms.php and in that file around line 242 replace the following code:
reset($ff_request);
    while (list($prop, $val) = each($ff_request)) $url .= '&'.htmlentities($prop, ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8').'='.htmlentities(urlencode($val), ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8');
with this one:
foreach($ff_request as $prop => $val) {
        $url .= '&'.htmlentities($prop, ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8').'='.htmlentities(urlencode($val), ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8');
  }
That should fix it.

NOTE: There might be more notices like this. Since these are rather notices than errors, It should not affect functionality.

To remove the message, for now, you can go to System > Global Configuration and in the Server tab set the Error Reporting to None. Save the change and the notices should be gone.

Let me know whether it resolved the problem.

Regards,

Mihaela

Thanks.

Your assumption that there would be more notices after this new change was correct. I got a new notice:
[10-Dec-2019 22:34:10 UTC] PHP Deprecated:  The each() function is deprecated. This message will be suppressed on further calls in / (ANON) /plugins/content/breezingforms/breezingforms.php on line 284

I think your suggestion to turn off the error reporting feature could be an issue, since I think it turns it off globally to all of Joomla possible future notices or errors.

I think (perhaps) this plugin needs an overhaul. I forget why this optional plugin is necessary, but if it's still required to use, maybe you can suggest a new fix to the new notice above, until we finally get this one in the bag. This way you can then offer a new update to that plugin?

I'm willing to go though it all, until it's finally fixed.

P.S. when I get an email notice telling me that my post was either approved or a new reply awaits, I get a very odd email that is very large, and just see a blue background screen throughout the email. And when I mean large, is that I have to scroll left and down to see the center of the email notice -- it is very huge, I mean very huge--titan huge.
