Upgrade from 1.7.0 to ... (at least PHP 5.3 compatible) - El Forum - 02-12-2014

Hi all,

A pretty old project comes back with the probably known following errors when the client tries to upgrade to PHP 5.3:

Severity: 8192
Message: Function set_magic_quotes_runtime() is deprecated
Filename: codeigniter/CodeIgniter.php
Line Number: 60

Severity: 8192
Message: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated
Filename: libraries/Loader.php
Line Number: 255

The project is of late 2008, early 2009 and as far as I can see from the change log (http://ellislab.com/codeigniter /user-guide/changelog.html) it should be enough to upgrade to 1.7.2 (only two steps according to: http://ellislab.com/codeigniter /user-guide/installation/upgrading.html).

Does anyone have any advice on whether that'll clear things for a while or should I take it a few steps further. If the latter, do I need to take all the small steps or is there some upgrade possible that jumps over a few minor versions?

(have not done a lot of web lately etc. Kinda hard to get the overview...)

Kind regards,
Manno
