This is the only one we believe. Generally speaking this is a sort of typo in our code that all PHP versions before 5.4 allowed and thus we didn't stumble upon it during our tests before PHP v5.4 was rolled out.

Alex,

I know there are many moving parts, and 1.0.x has been replaced by younger, thinner, and better looking, but I would imagine that there are still more than a handful of stores running xp 1.0.x --- and for something as mission critical as a typo that will kill x-payments if server is upgraded to 5.4.x, wouldn't it have been better to email a hotfix to all current owners of 1.0.x ?

I know this is not X-Cart's way -- but maybe it should be?

IF you discover a defect, why not publish it?

Before I permitted my server manager to upgrade to php 5.4, I looked at system requirements and I looked at all release notes for x-p 1.0.6 -- and there were no published mentions of this very easy to fix but mission-critical defect.

WHY not add this to the system requirements? Or better yet, email a hotfix to all -- because this fix is benign in php 5.3, there is no reason for all 5.3 owners to not just do it. They will have to do it when their server goes to 5.4 (at the latest in mid-2014).

I know hotfixes are not part of the X-Cart way, but maybe you should think about publishing a list of these? It would reduce the number of 911 calls you get. And you would have a cover-your-ass link, "did you apply all the published hotfixes before you broke your cart?"

How many servers will be upgrading from php 5.3 to 5.4 -- I bet many in the coming months... so IF YOU KNOW that something is broken in X-Payments 1.x, why not share this with everyone?

Just saying.
I hope you feel better soon.

Jeremy

PS -- x-payments 1.0.6 (patched as per post #3) has now been running all day with php 5.4.x -- working just fine. Trying to stuff keywords that others may use to find this thread in the future.

Jeremy, thank you for your good wishes. I am getting better day after day.

And yes, of course the newsletter is on the way to all owners of X-Payments licenses.

Those who are on Hosted X-Payments plans do not need to worry as the patch has been applied by our data center staff.

Dear Alex and Team X-Cart,

I just received an email with the hotfix notice.

Now THAT'S how you do it!!!

Considering php 5.3.x will be EOL by mid-year 2014, this is going to be an issue for many. You just covered your ass and helped many store admins, all at the same time.

I would love to see future hotfixes for minor and major bugs in a database as well as email.

Thanks for being proactive on this!

Best,

Jeremy

I've been running on PHP5.4 for over a month without any problems.
Running 4.1.10 and xpayments 1.0.4

So the fact I'm not having any issues is strangely worrying.
Should this issue affect everyone running PHP5.4? in which case something is wrong, since my host says I'm set to PHP5.4.

Should I run the patch anyway? Or leave well alone since it seems quite happy?

This may be only for x-payments 1.0.6 and 2.0x ?

Look at the file:
<xpayments_dir>/lib/XPay/Model/Base/Module.php

lines 131 and 153

if you see

self::$this->

then you need to patch.

Yes?

Same here gblair, been running xc 4.6.1 and xp 1.0.6 on PHP 5.4 for a long while with no issues for months. I'm leaving it alone - when it ain't broke, don't fix it!

Hrm, no patch applied here but mine was already without 'self' scope operator. Was this an issue that had been addressed previously somewhere? I don't remember fixing this myself when the server was upgraded to 5.4 months ago.
