Function split() is deprecated on line 327

Hi Guys,

I set up a website 10 years ago for a client using Dreamweaver, WA Universal Email and WA Validation Toolkit.
The contact.php on their website is now reporting "Function split() is deprecated in .../WA_ValidationToolkit/WAVT_Scripts_PHP.php on line 327" and "Function split() is deprecated in .../WA_Universal_Email/MailFormatting_PHP.php on line 42", Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at .../WA_ValidationToolkit/WAVT_Scripts_PHP.php:327/ ... /contactus.php on line 35.

I have no idea where to start with this...

Do I need updated PHP files for your coding? Is there something I can change or do I have to buy a package from you? How much would that be?

Look forward to hearing from you!

(At least the Internet can't contact Covid-19)!

Cheers,
Philip

You can just turn off deprecated messages in your php.ini file, or on the top of any page that is experiencing this issue for now.

In the long term - this is a warning that the code on your page is a decade old and will eventually not be supported, so you wouldn't want to update your php version or it could cause issues.

The long term solution is to purchase DataBridge v2 and re-apply the validation toolkit and email functionality to update it to modern standards.

Hi Ray,

Thanks, I appreciate your response...

Could I trouble you to provide the line of code I need to add to the top of their contactus.php page to turn that off?

I haven't done any web design or php work for quite a few years and I'm very rusty... That is not my line of work and was done more as a favour.

Cheers,
Philip

You could use:

<?php

error_reporting(E_ERROR | E_WARNING | E_PARSE | E_NOTICE);

?>

or

<?php

error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_DEPRECATED);

?>

Or it can be updated in your php.ini file like:
error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_DEPRECATED
