Apparently there is some sort of formatting error in function phpShorthandValue. Server using PHP 7.1.8, also tested on 5.6(no errors were present).

Not unique to XMB 1.9.12 BETA but may as well link to it:

Yeah, it's also present 1.9.11. Either way, since it's a notice, you could probably get rid of displaying the error via ini_settings, but that doesn't really solve the problem. I'd like to have all warnings on.

Nice thing linking to my thread I made earlier

The fix for this: http://forums.xmbforum2.com/viewthread.php?tid=776998

Has been applied to the download in the original post and file download.

Could you try this:

1. Open ./include/functions.inc.php

2. Find:

function phpShorthandValue($ininame) {
$rawstring = trim(ini_get($ininame));
$rchr = strtoupper(substr($rawstring, -1));
switch ($rchr) {
case 'G':
$rawstring *= 1073741824;
break;
case 'M':
$rawstring *= 1048576;
break;
case 'K':
$rawstring *= 1024;
break;
default:
$rawstring = intval($rawstring);
break;
}
return $rawstring;
}

3. Change to:

/*
function phpShorthandValue($ininame) {
$rawstring = trim(ini_get($ininame));
$rchr = strtoupper(substr($rawstring, -1));
switch ($rchr) {
case 'G':
$rawstring *= 1073741824;
break;
case 'M':
$rawstring *= 1048576;
break;
case 'K':
$rawstring *= 1024;
break;
default:
$rawstring = intval($rawstring);
break;
}
return $rawstring;
}
*/

4. Add below that:

function phpShorthandValue($ininame) {
$rawstring = trim(ini_get($ininame));
if (is_string($rawstring)) {
switch (substr($rawstring, -1)) {
case 'M': case 'm': return (int) $rawstring * 1048576;
case 'K': case 'k': return (int) $rawstring * 1024;
case 'G': case 'g': return (int) $rawstring * 1073741824;
}
}
return (int) $rawstring;
}

5. Save file.

6. Test

Please let me know how it goes.

That's how I fixed it for myself, yet I'm not sure what this function is used for in order to properly test it, but value is being returned the same as in non edited version of PHP 5.

function phpShorthandValue($ininame) {
$rawstring = trim(ini_get($ininame));
$rchr = strtoupper(substr($rawstring, -1));
$rawstring = (integer)$rawstring;
switch ($rchr) {
case 'G':
$rawstring *= 1073741824;
break;
case 'M':
$rawstring *= 1048576;
break;
case 'K':
$rawstring *= 1024;
break;
default:
$rawstring = intval($rawstring);
break;
}
return $rawstring;
}

Either way, thanks for your code too. I might double check the output of both fixes, but if responses are identical I think my way is a bit less messy as far as code goes.

Have a look here:

http://phpcrossref.com/xref/xmb/_functions/phpshorthandvalue...

The header.php file:

// Validate maxattachsize with PHP configuration.
$inimax = phpShorthandValue('upload_max_filesize');
if ($inimax < $SETTINGS['maxattachsize']) {
$maxattachsize = $inimax;
$SETTINGS['maxattachsize'] = $inimax;
}
unset($inimax);

Uses the function to validate filesize uploads to make sure that it doesn't exceed what is in the forum settings.

And referenced 3 times in post.php

$maxtotal = phpShorthandValue('post_max_size');
if ($maxtotal > 0) {
$lang['attachmaxtotal'] .= ' '.getSizeFormatted($maxtotal);
} else {
$lang['attachmaxtotal'] = '';
}

As post attachment validations.

Nice, now I can actually test it out. Thanks for the pointers.

No problem!

Alright, I wrote a little script to test that mess. As suspected, original throws an error while other two works just fine. I have attached the script, so you could test it for yourself.
Use $_GET['size'] for testing custom values, but this is optional.

Since Jenny says her way is a cleaner piece of code I'll probably fix that with my own board before I finally upgrade the server to PHP 7. Just a quick question, how do I upgrade from 5.6 to 7.0 on Debian 8 Jessie? I don't want to break anything if I try reading tutorials and such and I know I can trust the XMB Community.

Xian, do you think we should have a number system for the beta? Just in case people who aren't following this topic download from sourceforge may think the beta is the same, whereas it's already changed I think 3 times?

eg: 1.9.12.2

I don't recommend using those fixes, because none of those those 3 functions(including original) were convenient enough. If user uses two letter format (MB, KB, GB) instead of one( M,K,G) current functions just bails out or shows complete gibberish.

Use the one from fix.php attached to this post

In regards of php upgrading, you most likely need to use a package manager.
Something like apt-get install php7.1 should do.
P.S. If it does nothing you need to add repositories manually, I think.

LOL! You're right. Let's number them like that. I will update them when I get home.

Thanks for the link! I will see what I can do with some of them.

Would be nice if this feature could be done or perhaps made a hack, seeing as most forum software has it.
