HELP

[anon95807532]

Hi gdfemia,

The constant MB_OVERLOAD_STRING has been removed since PHP 8, however you can redefine this const somewhere in a commonly included file as:

if(!defined('MB_OVERLOAD_STRING')){
	define('MB_OVERLOAD_STRING', 2);
}

You should also note that this is not the only constant that appears in the old version of PHP as it’s used with an extension mbstring. Since you have no control over the PHP version here on the free hosting, you might need to consider updating your application. The above solution merely solves the syntactical errors and helps you get things running, but never achieves a real solution if you do not have a compatible version.

For a complete list of such mbstring-related constants and done the safest way:

if(!defined('MB_OVERLOAD_MAIL')){
	define('MB_OVERLOAD_MAIL',  1);
}
if(!defined('MB_OVERLOAD_STRING')){
	define('MB_OVERLOAD_STRING', 2);
}
if(!defined('MB_OVERLOAD_REGEX')){
	define('MB_OVERLOAD_REGEX', 4);
}
if(!defined('MB_CASE_UPPER')){
	define('MB_CASE_UPPER', 0);
}
if(!defined('MB_CASE_LOWER')){
	define('MB_CASE_LOWER', 1);
}
if(!defined('MB_CASE_TITLE')){
	define('MB_CASE_TITLE', 2);
}
if(!defined('MB_CASE_FOLD')){
	define('MB_CASE_FOLD', 3);
}
if(!defined('MB_CASE_LOWER_SIMPLE')){
	define('MB_CASE_LOWER_SIMPLE', 5);
}
if(!defined('MB_CASE_UPPER_SIMPLE')){
	define('MB_CASE_UPPER_SIMPLE', 4);
}
if(!defined('MB_CASE_TITLE_SIMPLE')){
	define('MB_CASE_TITLE_SIMPLE', 6);
}
if(!defined('MB_CASE_FOLD_SIMPLE')){
	define('MB_CASE_FOLD_SIMPLE', 7);
}
if(!defined('MB_ONIGURUMA_VERSION')){
	define('MB_ONIGURUMA_VERSION', '5.9.6');
}

Cheers!
