Windows server path logic

Hello,
Has anyone encountered a condition on a windows server where you needed to place a Slash prior to the go to file name to bind the location to the domains root?

For instance, I am deploying a new Windows 2016 server and it requires the following to work:

$GoToPage = "/thanks.php";


but on my prior server running PHP 5.6 we used:

$GoToPage = "thanks.php";

no slash... Without the slash the redirect goes to http://thanks.php


Just curious if anyone else ran into this?

PHP7 condition maybe?

That sounds like a problem with our extension. Can you send me FTP access and a url to view?

Thanks Ray but I'm moving a lot of domains and adding the leading slash sorted the problem and it has not surfaced on other sites so far.

One new issue that I see today is this error:

Deprecated: Methods with the same name as their class will not be constructors in a future version of PHP; WA_AltClassIterator has a deprecated constructor in E:\Websites\***redacted***

<?php

//WA AltClass Iterator

class WA_AltClassIterator     {
  var $DisplayIndex;
  var $DisplayArray;
 

  function WA_AltClassIterator($theDisplayArray = array(1)) {
    $this->ClassCounter = 0;
    $this->ClassArray   = $theDisplayArray;

  }  

  function getClass($incrementClass)  {
    if (sizeof($this->ClassArray) == 0) return "";
      if ($incrementClass) {
      if ($this->ClassCounter >= sizeof($this->ClassArray)) $this->ClassCounter = 0;
      $this->ClassCounter++;
    }

    if ($this->ClassCounter > 0)
      return $this->ClassArray[$this->ClassCounter-1];
    else
      return $this->ClassArray[0];
  }
}

?>
  <?php
//WA Alternating Class
$WARRT_AltClass1 = new WA_AltClassIterator(explode("|", "WADAResultsRowDark|"));
?>

This is a php 7.1 condition it seems.

How about SecurityAssist Authenticate User? Not php7 ready as it uses mysql_pconnect?

Do I need delete and regenerate or hand code to use MySQLi ?

So the deprecated message is just a naming convention thing. In class definitions instead of using:

class WA_AltClassIterator     {
  var $DisplayIndex;
  var $DisplayArray;
 

  function WA_AltClassIterator

you now have to use:

class WA_AltClassIterator     {
  var $DisplayIndex;
  var $DisplayArray;
 

  function __construct

It used to be that a function inside of the class that used the same name as the class would be treated as a constructor. They are deprecating that syntax and forcing you to use the function name __construct for your constructor function within a class.

I'd just turn off deprecated messages and ignore that one. It will still be supported until php8 and we are updating those in the next release.

The SecurityAssist authenticate user Server Behavior uses standard mysqli and isn't php7 ready. We already have the replacement function in the MySQLi server behaviors and in the next version the Security Assist wizard will use that one instead. For now you would have to reapply the server behaviors manually.
