Deprecated: Function split()

Hi.

I implemented the Contact Form Solutions pack 1.0.3 to a site also with Universal Email 4 and am getting the following errors, after clicking send. The form does send the email but it remains on the contact page, does not direct to the contact thank you page, and shows this error at the top of the page:

Deprecated: Function split() is deprecated in /home/content/b/i/r/birardij/html/WA_Universal_Email/MailFormatting_PHP.php on line 42

Deprecated: Function split() is deprecated in /home/content/b/i/r/birardij/html/WA_Universal_Email/MailFormatting_PHP.php on line 42

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/content/b/i/r/birardij/html/WA_Universal_Email/MailFormatting_PHP.php:42) in /home/content/b/i/r/birardij/html/plumber-new-jersey-contact.php on line 35



The code on line 42 of the MailFormatting_PHP.php is:
$domArr = split("\.",$domainName);

The code on line 35 of the contact page is:
34 if ("index.php"!="") {
35 header("Location: thankyou.php");
36 }

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

change:
$domArr = split("\.",$domainName);


to:
$domArr = explode("\.",$domainName);

Hi again.

Would changing "split" to "explode" stop the email from sending? My emails stopped sending.

I'm getting the same error now that the server has been upgraded from 5.2 to 5.3. I tried changing the split to explode without any successes. Can anyone shed some more light onto this subject?

Thank you

What product are you using? I'm pretty sure we have removed all of the references to split() in the latest version of all of our extensions, so I'd like to know what page or extension you are using that has this issue still, or at least confirm it is an older version.

The solution is to either upgrade, to manually go through the code and change the split() to explode(), or to turn off warnings because it will actually still work and the warning could simply be ignored for now.

So, the version I have of Universal email is 3.0.7 which according to my account is the latest version.

The code on line 42 of the MailFormatting_PHP.php is:
$domArr = split("\.",$domainName);

Ive tried changing this to explode without any joy.

Universal Email 3.0.7 is an older version. it has been replaced by UE 4 then CSS Form builder and now Data Bridge

changing split to explode should fix the problem, it may occur in a couple of places you will need to make the change in each place that references the split function.

This is the reply from my customer on the subject

Thank you for trying, but unfortunately it didn’t work. I changed all instances of split( to explode( but it’s made no difference. Other functions that included the word split I left alone, such as

$dotted = preg_split( "/[.]+/", $dotted);

$encoded = chunk_split(base64_encode($str), 76, $this->LE);

$splitBreak = "--WAMULTIBREAKWA";

And I guess that must be right.



I even changed return document.cookie.match(re)[0].split("=")[1] //return its value, even though it was in a file that had nothing to do with mailing.



All is back as-was now, and running brilliantly in 5.2.

I would guess that the changes are not being properly uploaded to the server.

If you run into the problem again, i can start an incident to look into it with you.

Asked my client to check all have been updated, she assures me they have so as she says we must be missing something.

Client reply below:-


Nope. We must all be missing something.

As far as I can see there are only two files that need changing:

1. MailFormatting_PHP.php, and

2. WAVT_Scripts_PHP.php

The first has just one instances of Split on row 42, the second has 6 instances on rows 152, 330, 389, 587, 590, and 660. I did a global search over the whole site, so I don’t think I can have missed anything.
