[CWB] CQPweb: php error

[Hardie, Andrew]

This is a bit of code present in CQPweb 3.2 but not 3.3 that counteracts ancient PHP security measures that didn't actually work.

It relies on a function that was removed in PHP 8.

I'll patch the 3.2 branch when I get a moment, but if you need it to work quicker, just replace the test on line 1190 of environment.php with this:

if (function_exists('get_magic_quotes_gpc') && get_magic_quotes_gpc())

Please let me know if you encounter any other function-doesn't-exist issues while running on PHP8.

best

Andrew.

Hi Andrew,

me again with some bothering php problems :/

offline-frequencyl-lists.php gives me the following error:

> PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function get_magic_quotes_gpc() in /var/www/html/CQPweb/lib/environment.php:1190
> Stack trace:
> #0 /var/www/html/CQPweb/bin/offline-freqlists.php(97): cqpweb_startup_environment()
> #1 {main}
>   thrown in /var/www/html/CQPweb/lib/environment.php on line 1190

In line 1190 of environment.php I find something about a test with magic quotes, but I do not understand well what happens here.

Thanks in advance and best regards
Simon
