    PHP Version for vB 3.8.8

    I don't get on here much anymore. We are now over 1,000,000 posts.

    I'm using 3.8.7 Patch Level 3 patched up to 3.8.8

    What is the latest version of PHP that I can use with this vB version? Now on php 5.2.17

    If you are running 3.8.8 you can use up to php 5.4.
    Or you can run 3.8.9 Beta and then you can use php 5.5.

      Is there any good reason not to run 3.8.9 while in Beta?

        Its just vBulletin 3.8.8 with PHP 5.5 fixes, so, in general no. And because its only php changes, reverting is fairly painless.

          Nope. My live site runs it.

            Ok, I updated to 3.8.9 Beta 2. Php is still on 5.4.33 and MySql is on 5.5.37
            I'm hoping that this will relieve some of the Database Errors I've seen, but some of those could be from Plugins.
            Still fighting going to vB version 4. If it ain't broke, don't fix it! (Threads: 127,447, Posts: 1,038,328, Members: 74,135)

              If you tell us what the database errors are we can probably point you in the right direction.

                There are a few of these, most usually because the user keeps on hammering at it..

                Database error in vBulletin 3.8.8:
                Invalid SQL:
                SELECT activationid, dateline
                FROM useractivation
                WHERE type = 1
                AND userid =;
                MySQL Error : You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '' at line 4
                Error Number : 1064
                Request Date : Tuesday, September 30th 2014 @ 03:38:28 PM
                Error Date : Tuesday, September 30th 2014 @ 03:38:28 PM
                Script : login.php?a=pwd&u=85034&i=1ea8381d52b45cbf25c6b5f360d2c8c8b668278e

                IP Address : 72.184.30.91
                Username : Unregistered

                There are some others with the "Post Thanks" hack and the vBGallery script. Shutting down vBGallery to users not logged in took care of those.

                  That query is missing a userid:

                  AND userid =;

                  There should be a number in there, such as:

                  AND userid =24;

                  I suspect this is coming from an add on.

                  Please disable all plugins on your board and tell us if the problem persists.

                  To do this, edit your vBulletin config.php file currently on the server by adding the following line after the <?php line:

                  define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);

                  Then reupload the config.php file into your forum's includes folder.

                  Does the problem still occur?

                    The problem hasn't reoccurred since installing 3.8.9 Beta 2. This particular error was with only one particular new user and he may have a cookie problem.

                    If I get more errors, I wll proceed with the DISABLE_HOOKS.

                      The plot thickens! As I said, this particular error was due to one user, so I tried to DELETE that user in the admin panel. It went through the motions, but would NOT DELETE him! He just reappeared like an Energizer Bunny.

                      So, I installed the "define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);" and it then deleted him. Also, clicking the error in my Database error email report, simply replied "Could not find user with userid = 85034."

                      How do I go about finding out which HOOK is responsible? I have a lot of nice Plugins in my system.
