Help needed to get 3dmm Studio’s PHP code up to modern spec

Will Cheyney · 05-08-2024, 07:23 PM

Some of you have messaged me to tell me that the movies listings have disappeared from www.3dmmstudio.co.uk
Although the side is long dead, I like it keep it active so nothing goes missing to time.

My host recently migrated me to a new server which broke a bunch of antiquated PHP code that links to and does the relevant look ups to a MySQL database. This database houses the entire movie archive. The database still exists and the data is intact.
Travis and I wrote the sites code back in 2004 and I have no idea what I need to do in order to fix it.

Anyone here a whizz with a bit of simple’ish PHP and up for helping me get it back up to spec?

Thanks

Plop’s probably your best bet.

What version of PHP were you running previously, and what version where you upgraded to? 3dmm.com had a similar issue in the past. I moved this site to a VPS (Virtual Private Server) around 2014 so I could manage the PHP installation myself. It was easier to do this than trying to upgrade or refactor all the vBulletin code.

Also, are you seeing any errors in the logs which might give us a clue as to what language feature you were using that is no longer supported?
