peterisgb Posted July 3, 2021 Posted July 3, 2021 Some here may know, Specially the older groups. I've managed to get my hands on Legends of the Green Dragon script with 1,000+ modules. So I've ran an Old version of Wamp due to PHP support. Its only seems to run on php5.3 What i am looking for is, Is there some kind of wrapper i could use to make the old scripts work or know of a host that still supports php5.3 Its abit of a long reach, Worst case scenario is i setup wampserver to the world but then that means hosting it on my PC which isnt what i want to do. Anything help or advice here would be greatly appreciated. Quote
Magictallguy Posted July 3, 2021 Posted July 3, 2021 You're looking for a shim - search GitHub 1 Quote
peterisgb Posted July 4, 2021 Author Posted July 4, 2021 Incase anyone is wanting to find a server host supporting php most PHP versions including php 5.3 you can use this site. awardspace.net It has a free option and there are cheap paid versions. This is the only site i have found so far that claims to have php5.3 and actually have it. Quote

Dave Posted July 6, 2021 Posted July 6, 2021 @peterisgbyou can shim things like MySQL than suppress all warnings / notices which aren’t important to run it on a more modern version. It’s actually what I did for PS, so I could upgrade code iteratively rather than trying to fix the whole thing at once. Quote
peterisgb Posted July 6, 2021 Author Posted July 6, 2021 i manged to host it on a site for £2.50 for the year. They had PHP 5.3. http://legendsofthegreendragon.mygamesonline.org MTG said i could shim things but it something i haven't done before so didn't know what i was doing. Quote

Somewhat related to the topic; a shim is just a file of functions with the old names doing the new things. To use, you'd simply include it into a core file Quote
