I run Quick.Cart 3.2 for my eShop. My eShop was running perfectly untill last Friday. I'm 100% that i doesn't make any change. Last modified file in my server and the installation is from early March. Now I get a blank screen as my home page. I get this error
HP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '[', expecting ',' or ';' in /public_html/MyWebSite.com/libraries/TplParser.php on line 190
I try to restore older backups but the problem presist.
Any idea what I have to fix and how to solve this problem? Thank you in advance.
Thank you for your answer. I ask the hosting company regarding any php change but i don't get a clear answer yet. They send me instructions on how to downgrade but not a clear answer if the perform any php related change the day i face up the problem.
In any case, did you have any idea about the error i get? Are you 100% sure that this is an error related to oho upgrade or your answer is just speculation?
Regarding update OpenCart I spend more than 8 years tweaking OpenCart 3.2 in order to customize it to perform what my clients need. I try once to upgrade to a newer version and i realize that almost all my tweaking stop to work and i was unable to find a way to repeat them on the new version. But the most important is that the newer versions use different way to create the url's. Instead of e.g. "myWebSite.com/?341,en_product" i was getting something completely different and i was unable to tweak the change via .htaccess So in less than a week i lost ALL my rankings in Google. A few years on hard SEO work disappeared in less than a week. Furthermore database conversion from one version to another doesn't work for me so i had to invest 10's of hours in order to update create the database manually from scratch. So upgrade in not an option. I will solve one problem and i will create 10 new problems....
1. "Are you 100% sure that this is an error related to oho upgrade or your answer is just speculation?" 99.99% I have seen this error on very old shops ( for example v3.2) after change php version to 7.x Please try with php v5.4-v5.6 but note that in the future hosting can switch off oldest php versions...
2."So upgrade in not an option." Wrong decision :) and now your shop do not work...
3."A few years on hard SEO work disappeared in less than a week"
Probably you have done wrong upgrade without 1:1 links or without wrong redirections If you have some knowledge you can use different links in EXT version
myWebSite.com/product.html myWebSite.com/1,product.html myWebSite.com/1,en_product.html myWebSite.com/?1,en_product etc, etc.
