All of a sudden, I'm getting 503 errors on my site. I have verified with my host that the server is not overloaded and other domains are working. This is the contents of the error_log file in the main directory:

[11-Oct-2018 19:36:21 UTC] PHP Notice:  Undefined index: SUPPRESS_ERROR_DEATH in ...\global.php on line 270

Also, when checking the file location referenced, this is the current contents at and around this location:



What is the issue since I'm not a PHP programmer but can access the code, if needed.

What version of Composr is it?

The latest version, 10.0.19.

Ok. PHP on this server is crashing when any PHP mysqli_fetch_field* functions are called. There must be some nasty issue somewhere.

I was able to re-code the db_get_query_rows function (in sources/database/mysql/mysqli.php) to work without using these functions. It isn't 100%, because any integers in the database are coming through to PHP as strings. But our code probably can tolerate that in the vast majority of cases.

Curtis, you should get onto the server owner. Also backup the sources/database/mysql/mysqli.php I did.

I will pass this on to the server operator. Thanks!

To resolve this better I have implemented a mysql_pdo database driver for Composr. I can confirm it seems to work stably on the server involved here.

It will be available in the next patch release.

Curtis, please let us know if you find any issues. The whole test set passes though so it should be stable.

Everything looks good so far. Thanks!
