Are you uploading multiple files all with the same filename?

Feel free to post a url and actual working user login for us to try uploading.

Hi ...

i am uploading multiple Files, but with different filenames.

You can test it:
Link: Rothe-Friends Gallerie
Username: photopost
Password: postphoto

Thanks

Ralf

I have never seen that happen

does using the regular upload work?

Skyborg · December 21st, 2009, 01:42 AM

same at the regular upload, wrong thumb in the kategory.

The Gallery worked for over 3.000 pictures.
And now this issue ... nothing at the gallery was updated or changed.

Chuck S · December 21st, 2009, 06:27 AM

Okay well have you tried updating the gallery?

Obviously either something has corrupted the files or there is some weird server issue going on. This issue is not happening with our default code.

Skyborg · December 21st, 2009, 07:49 AM

I have just replaced all files with the original ones.
But the problem is still there

If its an server issue ... what should i look for?

Thanks

Can it be a problem with PHP 5.3.1 ?!?

I think my hoster has updated

Chuck S · December 21st, 2009, 09:04 AM

let me check through the support threads here see if I see anything similar. I already did a quick search before responding the first time.

Skyborg · December 21st, 2009, 10:23 AM

I have spend 2 hours in downgrading php from 5.3.1 to 5.1.6.
I have plesk on my root-server so its a little bit tricky.

But now with php 5.1.6 all works fine

I think there is a compatibility issue between die source code and php 5.3.1

Thank you for the time you have spend to help me.

Lost likely a php bug

Luciano · December 22nd, 2009, 12:39 AM

I ran into that bug.. actually its not a bug.. its a feature

I call it a name-bug... you can see the warnings if your installation has errors visible..(expose PHP if u use Wampserver)
it is an easy fix... let me copy and paste some of the most common warnings.. note this is a 3.8 vb with a 2.5 gallery install

Quote:

Deprecated: Function eregi_replace() is deprecated in C:\apache\apache2\htdocs\babelsite\gallery\showimage.php on line 456
some warnings are in vbulletin and Gallery...
Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in C:\apache\apache2\htdocs\babelsite\forums\includes\init.php on line 134

Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in C:\apache\apache2\htdocs\babelsite\forums\includes\init.php on line 142

Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in C:\apache\apache2\htdocs\babelsite\forums\includes\init.php on line 211

Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in C:\apache\apache2\htdocs\babelsite\gallery\gallery_global.php on line 443

but also.. and this could be the issue..

Warning: substr() expects parameter 2 to be long, string given in C:\apache\apache2\htdocs\babelsite\forums\includes\functions_gallery_imageedit.php on line 399

do a search for substr on functions_gallery_imageedit.php

at one occasion (around line 399) you have

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

replace with:

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

There its there also at another occasion..(cant remember where)
basically substr doesnt accept parameter '' any more, it has to be numeric that meens 0 (i checked the manual)

---------

I think the erregi replace , even if only being deprecated.. still gives issues..
If the problem persists.. after the substr fix..
do following:
also around line 350 find

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

replace with:

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

I am NOT sure if that fixes ALL the issues with php 5.31, but it should take care of the filename...

Luc that would still be a php bug

Luciano · December 22nd, 2009, 01:59 AM

well its like MS Windows.. no bugs but lots of features ...
But if you look at php manual...
substr second parameter should be numeric !!!! (as of php 4 something..)
in older php versions
'' == 0
NOW
'' != NULL != 0
PHP just gets pickyer the older it gets
lol..

Having the same problem after the update to 5.3.1

When looking at the data base through PHPMyadmin - many of the thumbnail names are actually just "_thumb.jpg". After making the changes abouve, I have been looking for the option to rebuild the thumbnail names but I don't see it. Does rebuilding the thumbnail size also repopulate the thumbnail field in the DB?

If not, is there a way to do this?

Chuck S · February 9th, 2010, 09:59 AM

Are you getting this error using default code or Luciano's little hack above?

philmckrackon · February 10th, 2010, 08:27 AM

After updating to 5.3.1 I received the same error - "Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated".

Looks like PHP decided to change the way they use the substr function (or at least decided to use the function the way the manual says it should work).

After changing the substr function call to include the integer 0, thumbs now show up on files that are new but do not show up on older files. I'm sure they do not show on older files because I re-sized the thumbs hoping it would fix the problem and now all the old thumbnail names in the database show _thumb instead of filename_thumb.jpg (this is just an example).

All the actuall thumbnails are in the file system.

I'm looking for a way to rebuild the thumbnail database and to the correct file names. Does rebuilding the thumbnail sizes do this? If so, I'm pretty sure the same substr call in the rebuilding is causing my problem.

Luciano · February 10th, 2010, 09:12 AM

Good find...
You are indeed right..
do the following:
open the file:
forums/admincp/vb_gallery_admin.php
and in that file find:

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

IT is there twice, once around line 1831 and the second around line 2185

in BOTH cases replace with:

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

(replacing the '' with 0)

Then rebuild your thumbnails..
It should work now...

Luc

PS: one is for rebuilding thumbs, the second one for scanning database for errors...

Luciano · February 10th, 2010, 11:10 AM

as for the deprecated warning.. this will be certainly be fixed by micheal or chuck, but for the moment there is only 1 way to get rid of that...
you need to edit your php.ini.. as if you were in production environment and change:

display_errors = On

to
display_errors = off

This is not a big problem for now, but it will be under php 6

Luc

PS: I tried
error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~E_DEPRECATED & ~E_USER_DEPRECATED);
AND ini_set("display_errors", "0");
just before the error, but both dont work..
php seems to check for deprecated before compiling...
