Support for PHP 4 coming to an end - implications for DW

This is a copy of a post I sent to the Dreamweaver
Application
Development forum, but it's relevant to many people here,
too. Apologies
if you have already read it.
Today (13 July 2007) is the third anniversary of the release
of PHP 5.
To mark this occasion, the PHP development team has announced
that
support for PHP 4, except for critical security fixes, will
be
discontinued on 31 December. Furthermore, even critical
security fixes
for PHP 4 will cease on 8 August 2008 (8/8/08). You are urged
to move to
PHP 5.2 as soon as practicable.
As far as PHP code generated by Dreamweaver MX 2004, DW8, and
DW CS3 is
concerned, this change will have NO effect. The code runs
without
problem on PHP 5.2, and should continue to run even when PHP
6 is
eventually released.
Code generated by Dreamweaver MX should be upgraded to run on
PHP 5.2,
as it uses deprecated predefined variables, such as
$HTTP_POST_VARS
(instead of $_POST). Although PHP 5.2 can be configured to
support the
deprecated variables, they will NOT be supported in PHP 6, so
it's a
good idea to start planning ahead.
If you're on shared hosting, the likelihood is that your
server still
runs PHP 4. Now is the time to start pressuring your hosting
company to
commit to upgrade to PHP 5.2. There's no need to panic,
because there
will be security patches for another year; but after that,
any host
still running PHP 4 will leave you potentially open to
security risks.
A lot of people worry that switching from PHP 4 to PHP 5 will
result in
broken sites. For the vast majority of people, it won't. When
I switched
three years ago, I didn't need to change a single line of
code. The only
people who are likely to face problems are those using very
old code or
object-oriented PHP.

  • I have a 1st Gen, MacBook Pro from 2006. For the last few years I've had to us my power adaptor as my battery no longer works. Now my power adaptor looks like it's coming to an end. Even though it's securely fitted, it often switches off.

    I have a 1st Gen, MacBook Pro from 2006. For the last few years I've had to us my power adaptor as my battery no longer works, and shuts down after 30 seconds it. Now my power adaptor looks like it's coming to an end. Even though it's securely fitted, it often switches off.
    I am planning on buying a new MacBook Pro later this year, but for the meantime I'm not sure if I should buy a new power adaptor, or if this is a problem with my MacBook Pro. Also does anyone know where I can buy a battery in the UK for 1st Gen MacBook Pro.

    OWC has batteries for 1,1 generation MacBook Pros and they ship internationally - http://eshop.macsales.com/.
    Your best bet for a power adapter is to get one from Apple. Third-party adapters just don't seem to be reliable (or safe). You can also buy a replacement battery directly from Apple, of course, but they're a bit more expensive.
    Good luck,

  • Support for XP ends when?

    I have been looking for some info on when ZCM support for Windows XP will end? Given the timeframe for 11.3's release, will XP be dropped when 11.3 is released? I seem to remember Windows 2000 being dropped right away when it went out of MS support.
    I am trying to get the remaining computers upgraded to Win7 but I am running into to opposition and need as much ammo as I can gather to push the issue - Doctors can be very stubborn.

    The reason for dropping Windows 2000 support did not have anything
    directly to do with Microsoft Dropping Support. It was the fact ZCM was
    moving to a newer, more stable, and more robust version of .NET.
    Microsoft never released the newer version of .NET for Windows 2000 and
    hence Windows 2000 support for ZCM was no longer possible.
    ZCM 11.3 will again be moving to a new version of .NET, but this version
    of .NET is available and supported by Windows XP.
    Novell has never removed support for an OS within a Service Pack Level
    in the past, though some have been ADDED in the past. Traditionally,
    support is removed during Service Pack Upgrades and even then it is
    uncommon.
    I would not expect Windows XP Support to be removed prior to ZCM 11.4,
    which would be a long way off. Even then, I would be quite surprised if
    XP support was lost since work on that version is already underway which
    means that the technology it uses would be available to XP.
    In short, I have not heard of any discussions for the removal of XP
    support, the removal of support for an OS any time soon would be a
    departure from past ZCM support history, and even the major release
    AFTER the soon to be released major update would most likely support XP
    as well.

    Scratchy noise coming from top end of keyboard. Not effecting performance but very noisy and worrying! What is it? Is my computer seriously damaged? Is it easily fixed? Thanks for any help

    It would be helpful if you were to identify the model of MBP you have. 
    The noise makers on a MBP are the fan(s), the HDD and the optical drive.  Can you locate the exact position where the noise is coming from?

  • Oracle To End Support for Java 7

    No More Free Updates for Java 7 after April 2015
    Users must sign long-term support deals or migrate to Java 8 to avoid 'enormous headache and disruption to millions of applications'
    Public updates for Java 7 -- including bug and security fixes -- will end this month, a situation that one security advocate says could impact millions of applications.
    "As outlined in the Oracle JDK [Java Development Kit] Support Roadmap, after April 2015, Oracle will not post further updates of Java SE [Standard Edition] 7 to its public download sites," Oracle's Java SE Support Roadmap states. "Customers who need continued access to critical bug fixes and security fixes as well as general maintenance for Java SE 7 or older versions can get long-term support through Oracle Java SE Support. The process of migrating users from Java 7 to Java 8 through the auto update feature is expected to take place after the January 2015 CPU release."
    [ The art of programming is changing rapidly. We help you navigate what's hot in programming and what's going cold and give insights into the technologies that are changing how developers work. | Keep up with hot topics in app dev with InfoWorld's Application Development newsletter. ]
    Oracle released Java SE 7 in July 2011; Java SE 8 was released in March 2014. Java, particularly on the client side, has been beset by security issues in recent years. But Oracle has taken many steps to address the issues and stressed that most of the problems dated back several years, before Oracle took over Java from Sun in 2010.
    Still, the impact of Oracle's cessation of public updates could be severe, an official at security firm Waratek, believes. Oracle's "rapid" end-of-life schedule for Java versions is great for innovation and language evolution, Waratek CTO John Matthew Holt said in an emailed statement. "However, there is a dangerous tradeoff; now millions of Java 7 applications will have to defend themselves against code-level vulnerabilities without the benefit of future fixes." Holt advocates either upgrades to Java 8 or use of Java Run-time Application Self Protection (RASP) technologies (Waratek is a RASP vendor).
    This week's security update from Oracle, meanwhile, marks the "proverbial 'end of the road' for Java 7 application security, Holt said. "After today, the only version of the Java Platform which will receive public security updates is Java 8.  This is huge news, and it is going to cause enormous headache and disruption to millions of application owners around the world."
    Contacted Tuesday afternoon for a comment on the end of public updates for Java SE 7, by late evening Oracle had not yet responded.
    The April 2015 Critical Patch Update released Tuesday by Oracle provides 98 new fixes for security issues across a wide range of product families, said Eric Maurice in an Oracle blog post. These range from Oracle Database to Oracle Fusion Middleware, Java SE, and MySQL. Fourteen of the security fixes are for Java SE.

    Java 7 has already been dead for quite a while. While you could still use it for Java apps on your system, Apple blocked its use in browsers long ago. You have to install version 8 if you need Java support for the web.

  • HT201178 With the coming of OSX Mountain Lion, will there be support for a late 2006 iMac  (currently running OSX Lion

    With the coming of OSX Mountain Lion, will apple be supporting a late 2006 I mac currently running OSX Lion?

    Ahhhh. Well, now you have earned a "Slap Kappy" coupon good for one slap. Expires in 30 days.
    The 64-bit kernel thing will leave a lot of use behind. My main machine is a 2006 Mac Pro on which I've spent some money putting in two 4-core CPUs and an ATI 5770 GPU in the past year. If I want to run ML I can't do so. The only options I have for a desktop Mac is either a newer Mac Pro model - post 2007 - used or refurbed or a recent or new iMac. This assumes the Mac Pro line may be dropped. Apple has been very mum on that.
    Clearly, Apple wants to get users of older hardware to buy new machines in order to run ML now and in the future. Because it is possible to boot the older models with the 64-bit kernel via some hacking, Apple might have been able to install ML on them by adding some code and retaining 32-bit drivers where needed, but they've chosen not to take that route. I think it's a bit of a marketing ploy to help drive up sales of new Macs, but I appreciate that Apple has chosen to abandon legacy support in the past in order to avoid having an OS like Windows - bloated by support for older and older hardware.

  • When will Oracle end support for Version 7

    We have several servers running Oracle 7.3.4 and we are making upgrade plans.
    Could anyone tell us when support for version 7 will end.

  • End of Premier & Sustaining Support for OWB 10gR2

    Hi,
    I've read that for OWB 10gR1 the Premier Support ends Jul 2007 (Extended Support not offered) and the Sustaining Support ends Jul 2010 (no maintenance).
    Would you have the information for OWB 10gR2 ? => will drive our choice for 10gR2 or 11gR1...
    Thanks in advance,
    Sébastien

    From http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/warehouse/htdocs/owb_10gr2_faq.htm#HowisOWBPackaged:
    Is Warehouse Builder 10g Release 2 now licensed as part of the database?
    Yes, as of May 2006 Warehouse Builder is now shipped as part of the database and is no longer part of Developer Suite. The licensing and pricing have changed. See below for more details.
    What are the key licensing options for Warehouse Builder 10g Release 2?
    Warehouse Builder is now comprised of four components as follows
    The core ETL features are now provided free with the database Standard Edition, Standard Edition One, and Enterprise Edition. The core features that are provided free are those provided by the current 10g Release 1 version of Warehouse Builder with the addition of "Experts".
    So support for OWB10gR2 will follow support for DB 10gR2: Oracle Lifetime Support policy:

  • What to do now that Adobe ended support for Flash Player 10.3?

    Adobe ended support for Flash Player 10.3 on July 9. Downloads are no longer available anywhere that I can find. Adobe says 11.7 is now the "extended release" version. Since 10.3 has been the only solution when the latest Flash Player version won't work with Firefox, what do we do now? I have tested every Flash Player release after 10.3, and each starts crashing repeatedly after 24 hours. Each time, retreat to 10.3 was the only solution. The other suggestions in Firefox help don't work. I uninstalled 10.3 a few days ago to test 11.8 - the latest. It doesn't work with Firefox. Now I could only install 11.7. It hasn't failed yet, but it probably will tomorrow.
    If Flash Player 11.8 and 11.7 don't work, and 10.3 is unavailable, what can we do?

    You can check for problems with current Flash plugin versions and try these:
    *disable a possible RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension for Firefox and update the RealPlayer if installed
    *disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)
    *disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

  • End of support for Panther?

      Mac OS X (10.3.4)  

    asin,
    It's "support" has reached its conclusion with the release of the last 10.3.9 update.
    The operating system will not be updated past that.
    I recommend downloading the latest update, as I see you are using 10.3.4, (10.3.9 Combo) and I think you will see a marked improvement to your OS. Remember to Repair Permissions from Disk Utility before and after any OS update.
    good luck,
