Function session_unregister() is deprecated

joshe

Hi there,
I installed dokeos lms but, but I always keep getting this error message. I dont know much about PHP, so please help me!!!.
The site is currently not online. I'm trying it out on wamp server. I add the 'register globals' setting but i still get that error.

This is the error:

Deprecated: Function session_unregister() is deprecated in C:\wamp\www\dokeos20\dokeos20\main\inc\lib\main_api.lib.php on line 1175

Sounds like the thing is written for a really old version of PHP.

Try asking on their forums about whether there is a newer version of dokeos, or which version of PHP the current version written for so that you can downgrade PHP.

Failing that, turn register_globals off (it has nothing to do with this, it's a bad idea, and has itself been deprecated for some years); to turn off Deprecated: warnings have an error_reporting setting in php.ini like [font=monospace]error_reporting: E_ALL & ~E_DEPRECATED[/font] (for development and testing) and [font=monospace]error_reporting: E_NONE[/font] (for real life use).

But that will only be a short-term solution. PHP 5.4 will probably be released before the end of the year, and it doesn't even have [man]session_unregister[/man]; you won't be able to upgrade as long as this software uses it.

Hmmm...waw, really? So, I can forget about dokeos then, cause I checked the website, and they don't have any updated versions. I emailed them, but I still didn't get any answer.
