Php 7.2 - Post ID 282693

Due to security reasons our hosting provider is shutting down previous versions of PHP (e.g. 5.6, 7.0 and 7.1) .
Only PHP version 7.2 is supported.

When using the php 7.2 we are hitting on this error when using a defined form.

Your form could not be submitted for the following reason(s):
Warning: [ err 2/line 277/mailer.cls.php] Use of undefined constant writeErrorLog - assumed 'writeErrorLog' (this will throw an Error in a future version of PHP)

Any idea?
And does WFB 2.9 Build 5519 fully supports PHP 7.2?

Thx
With kind regards,

Hi Bas,
It should support it.
Can you share a link to your form so we can check it out.
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

Hi Eric. Currently I have a support open.
Of looks like some PHP files still support deprecated features. When running on a PHP7.2 servers of is an issue.

The developers from Coffeecup are looking at it.

Thx

E.g.
File = fbapp/php/config.inc.php
Line 64
Error message:
Deprecated: __autoload() is deprecated, use spl_autoload_register() instead
With kind regards,

I have the same problem. I have removed the Web Form and just put an email link for now. Better than a broken page.

Any news about php 7.2?

I was recomended to change user.cfg.pgp and change to localhost.
$user_config['mailer']['service'] = 'localhost';
//$user_config['mailer']['service'] = 'smtp';

This makes the form work without error messages, BUT it wont send any mail...

So...
I changed to PHP 5.6, but in mid december I'll be forced over to php7.2.

Any ideas?

Hi Frank,
I would open a support topic and ask CC what you can do about the issue.

Post back when you get an answer.
I can't hear what I'm looking at.

I have a support topic but all I get is the advice to chance from smtp to localhost.
They are working on it, but in 10 days I'm forced over to 7.2.....

I'm opening a support ticket with my webhost too. They are pretty good att helping.. ;)

Looks like we found the error.

My webhost checked the script and found the following error:

Path: /common/fbapp/php
File: mailer.cls.php
Line: 277
$mail->Debugoutput = writeErrorLog;

Change to:
$mail->Debugoutput = 'writeErrorLog';

It's missing : ' '

In program folder do the same change.
Path: /program files/WebFormBuilder/library/server-scripts/fbapp/php/
File: mailer.cls.php
Line: 277
Change to: $mail->Debugoutput = 'writeErrorLog';

This will update mailer.cls.php in your webform folder before export.

I have tested the script with my own smtp.
No error messages and mail is sendt.

What version of the Form Builder are you using? My mailer.cls.php doesn't have that.
I can't hear what I'm looking at.

I'm using 2.9 Build 5519

Bas had the same problem as me and the text gives us the answer.

Use of undefined constant writeErrorLog - assumed 'writeErrorLog'
It says that its expecting 'writeErrorLog' not writeErrorLog. Its just the ' and ' that is missing.

What error did you get in 7.2 when using smtp server?
I don't Think 7.2 supports localhost as mailserver anymore.
