Hello,

I've been running IP.Board 2.3.6 for around 2 years now and since they stopped giving support for it and PHP 5.3.x has been released I'm now getting an error in error_log a few times a day and it's becoming a nuisance. Before anyone asks, I'm not upgrading to 3.x because my visitors like 2.3.6 and I personally hate 3.x.

I was speaking to someone over at InvisionPower and they said the error could have been caused because I'm running PHP 5.3.8, which could be true, as I never had these errors before moving from PHP 5.2.

But I do want to get to the bottom of it and find out what's really causing the issue so that I can resolve it.

That's the error I'm getting, this is on line 96:

		$this->ex_time  = sprintf( "%.4f",$Debug->endTimer() ); 

The problem is that in init.php the function endTimer exists, so I know it's got nothing to do with that. Plus it's not effecting the functionality of the boards since it's part of the Debug, I just want to find out what's causing it.

Hopefully someone with a bit more knowledge will be able to help me.

Resolved, it would appear IP.Board 2.3.6 isn't compatible with PHP 5.3.x

The issue this topic was opened for has now been resolved.

I think 2.3.x will run fine on PHP 5.3, however you cannot do an "install" of 2.3.x on 5.3.

My IP.Board v2.3.6 games forum still runs well on PHP Version 5.3.6 with no problems at all.

Yes that's about it. I recall it would not install on 5.3 without major complaint although if it was already present it would run reasonably well.

Well my boards have been installed and running fine for 2 years. As soon as I installed PHP 5.3.8, I was given a lot of errors. Reverting back to 5.2 solved everything.
