Hello.

I have had gallery1 installed for a long time and have continued adding photos ever since. Just lately (last month or more - during which time I've been experimenting with a new install of Drupal...) I started noticing the following error when I went to my main Gallery page (http://fierke.net/gallery):

Quote:
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/.daktari/jwf/fierke.net/gallery/session.php on line 64

...which appears to refer to:

Quote:
/* emulate register_globals for sessions */
if (!$gallery->register_globals) {
foreach($HTTP_SESSION_VARS as $key => $value) {
$$key =& $HTTP_SESSION_VARS[$key];

I ran configure.sh and now when I go to http://fierke.net/gallery I get the same error.

When I try to load the gallery/setup routine, I get this error:

Quote:
Warning: extract() [function.extract]: First argument should be an array in /home/.daktari/jwf/fierke.net/gallery/setup/init.php on line 49 (and 50 and 51)

...which appears to be referring to :

Quote:
extract($HTTP_GET_VARS);
extract($HTTP_POST_VARS);
extract($HTTP_COOKIE_VARS);

Could this be a PHP version issue? I honestly cannot trace back to something I might have changed that could have caused this. Would a fresh re-install work?

I'm getting the impression that I don't have any of the HTTP_ variables! What gives?

I really could use some help!!!

What are the best steps to take to backup before I produce any more disasters?

Tell me it will be ok.

I was going to the site to pull photos to submit to a my company's photo contest

Thanks in advance,
John

P.S. my session test is failing. I get a Session ID, but "Page views in this session" does not increment!

Hello,

The reason is, that you are using a Gallery version that is not compatible with PHP5.
$HTTP_ vars are not present in PHP5 anymore. Thus Gallery does not work.

You have to upgrade.

OK...I am JUST NOW getting back around to fixing Gallery. I am more than willing to upgrade and eventually want to get completely current (Gallery 2.X or even Gallery 3.0).

What I am most concerned with is being able to revive my albums (layout, captions, comments, etc).

What is the very first step I need to take to get something functioning? Then I'd like to migrate from G1 to G2.
