Why do you get a "Fatal error: Call to undefined function: stripos()" when editing Joomla! 1.5.7 Articles from the frontend when using PHP 4?
From Joomla! Documentation
Problem: MarkCII reported that for PHP 4 environments, Joomla! gives this error message when Articles are submitted from the frontend:
"Fatal error: Call to undefined function: stripos() in /libraries/joomla/environment/uri.php on line 675"
Articles are still successfully posted,
Possible resolutions:
- Add this to the end of /libraries/joomla/utilities/compat/php50x.php
if(!function_exists('stripos')) {
function stripos($haystack, $needle, $offset = 0) {
return strpos(strtolower($haystack), strtolower($needle), $offset);
}
}
- OR - Upgrade to PHP 5. PHP 4 end of life was August 8, 2008. There will not be any more PHP 4 releases, even for security. (Switching PHP versions may cause problems with some 3rd Party Plugins - be sure to test thoroughly).
- OR - Ignore until Joomla! 1.5.8 since the Article is saved correctly. However, if you are having problems with user logins this will not be appropriate.
