[USER ERROR]VSP requires PHP Version 7.4 to 8.2

[Fragenstein]

Receiving the following error when trying to parse the logs:

"Error: VSP requires PHP Version 7.4 to 8.2 to run.
- Your version is: "8.2.4"
- Please upgrade your PHP installation."

VSP v1.0.51
Windows 11 Apache Server PHP 8.2.4

Any ideas?

[Krillin]

Sorry for the delay. There are a few ideas. I will look into this and see what is going on as our development is done using Windows Server 2022 using Apache 2.4.62 with PHP 8.2.16 and there aren't any issues. As it seems your system is not verifying your php version properly.

You need to give me more information on what you are doing rather than this tidbit of information you provided.

Also, update your version of PHP 8.2.4 to 8.2.16. There is no harm in keeping your PHP engine updated to the current version as there could be some minor version detection constant changes in your early version of 8.2.4, because of this there is a fallback written into the PHP Version Detection.

Here is a possible solution.

Find (line #1249):

Code Select Expand

function Fff0125cs()
{
  if (php_sapi_name() === 'cli') {
    if (!defined('PHP_VERSION_ID') || (PHP_VERSION_ID < 70400 || PHP_VERSION_ID >= 80200)) {
      echo "Error: VSP requires PHP Version 7.4 to 8.2 to run.\n";
      echo " - Your version is: \"" . PHP_VERSION . "\"\n";
      echo " - Please upgrade your PHP installation.\n";
      echo " - Thank You!";
      F4e6F902f();
      exit;
    } else {
      echo "\nYour PHP Installation Will Work With VSP!\n";
    }
  }
And replace it with:

Code Select Expand

function Fff0125cs()
{
  if (php_sapi_name() === 'cli') {
    if (!defined('PHP_VERSION_ID')) {
      // Fallback if PHP_VERSION_ID is not defined
      $version = explode('.', PHP_VERSION);
      $versionId = ($version[0] * 10000) + ($version[1] * 100) + ($version[2]);
    } else {
      $versionId = PHP_VERSION_ID;
    }

    if ($versionId < 70400 || $versionId >= 80300) {
      echo "Error: VSP requires PHP Version 7.4 to 8.2.xx to run.\n";
      echo " - Your version is: \"" . PHP_VERSION . "\"\n";
      echo " - Please upgrade your PHP installation.\n";
      echo " - Thank You!\n";
      F4e6F902f();
      exit;
    } else {
      echo "\nYour PHP Installation Will Work With VSP!\n";
    }
  }
}
This will correct the issue with the subversion numbers with 8.2.xx as it was limited to 8.2.00 for some reason. This has NOT yet been published, this will be applied in the next version.

Thank you for your report.

Okay, I upgraded my xampp PHP to v8.2.12 (their latest) and implemented your fix. I was able to get vsp to run, but am getting a bunch of errors:

I am not exactly sure how you are running VSP as you are not sharing how you are running VSP (web / CLI) or the command used to run. Because if memory serves me correctly, you were also using an UNOFFICAL version of VSP and attempted to get assistance here for it. So I cannot be assured you are using a valid version of VSP.

I would like to take a look your errors, but I would require to run my isolated development build against your a log file. Also, please provide to me what distribution of Q3 you are running. For example are you running and OEM or Steam Version of Q3/Q3TA. I lost everything I owned (my games, my gaming computer and my dedicated gaming servers) so I currently have nothing to work with except my file server (windows) and my work laptop (also windows).

If you do not feel safe posting your log file here, then please email me the log and I will look at it. I am currently building a Social Media Site using Laravel 11 with Vue, so when I get the time I will look into addressing these errors.

Thanks for your cooperation and my apologies for the issues.

I was able to get PHP 8.2.16 installed on the XAMPP server. I deleted all files and re-uploaded them (vsp-core_v1.0.51) to the server. I dropped all the tables in the database and let vsp recreate them. Still getting the same errors. I'm running vsp from a .bat file...

Sorry for the delay, I did not know you had replied so quickly. Thank you for the a log file to work with!

Using XAMPP! I would have assumed you would have been using a webhost for your game's server logs. I was using this kind of setup on my laptop for developing. I am now using my live production server which is on windows. I really did not get the opportunity to thoroughly test this with Q3/Q3TA etc.

I will return back here with an update when I get this sorted out. I will start on this right now. Deprecations are normally easy to resolve, other issues may take some time. But this doesn't look too bad. Also, what version is EP on right now 203? I will check if this is getting in the log file or not.

For now, it maybe wise to just stick with PHP 8.0 - 8.1?

You will be happy to know, after getting to work on the issue with VSP™ Q3A issue. I have FINALLY got it working 100% error free with Q3A/TA server log files. I had a few old games.log laying around or recovered from 2008 and there weren't any issues.

I will be releasing VSP-CORE-v1.1.52 as I just got it done about 3 hours ago, but I am not ready to release it  until I get it tested with ExcessivePlus 2.3. I am running a test server now with E+ 2.3 with BOTS playing in to get a decent server log file. I do go in and play myself here and there to take a break while I work out a problem I am stuck on or to take out my frustration on to regroup.

So, I will soon find out if the newly developed VSP™ v1.1.52 will work, once again with Q3A with E+. The character conversion is very impressive and complete here, symbols used and the color codes work as programmed! I am very pleased with this project and proud to bring it to the public once again.

I will be thanking ^7F^5r^2a^3g^7e^1n^7S^5t^3e^2i^7n for bringing this to my attention and I got to work immediately on the issue as Q3A is where I got started with VSP in 2004. Despite having learned he is using a Non-Authentic Version of VSP from 0.45 "0.45-xp-1.1.2" (this predates 2007) and are unofficial. The authentic version of VSP™ is designed for longevity and pruning log files looses players stats. Our Counter-Strike stats go back to 2005 with 265,526 in 4.6 GB boiled down to just over 1GB of a player data tracked by GUID.

Stay Tuned!

[Fragenstein]

Excellent!

This is just an announcement. I hope to have the version released late this week or next. Working with PHP 8.4.1!

Thanks again,

Just know when you run the new VSP™ version, you do not have the option to run with the switch -l q3a-xp.

And in the config/default-cfg.php you would just set the Game Option;
  $cfg['game']['name'] = "q3a";

VSP™ reads the game's log file and determine what MOD is running with Q3A. I noticed VSP-Core_v1.0.51 was built in a hurry (and it was) as March 1, 2024 was creeping up on me and I really did not have the time to sit down and go through the code, function by function, line by line to make sure this was as stable as it needed to be. I have also learned the code was dumped into files using some sort of PHP Encoder & Obfuscator as now they are very outdated. But I got it and I know this code very intimately.

The version of VSP™ CORE 1.1.52 is posted. Be advised, you will need to download Q3A Default Mediaset. I am still working on a few more key features I would like to see implemented, but I am having some trouble getting them working. So I will save this for the next release.

Enjoy!

I just uploaded all the latest media files and vsp version. When I run with -l q3a switch it runs successfully, but there is no output at all on the site. When I run with -l q3a-xp switch it runs with errors and all the player names are ^7. Here is a list of the errors...

Sounds like there is an issue with the database connection? If there wasn't a connection, VSP would not run, throw an error and quit running as there would be nothing for it to do.

Is this a 100% clean install with a fresh database?

I just posted the vsp-media-q3a-default.* files just this morning. I have ran your log files dozen of times. Can you please zip up your setup to me so I may have a look at them, at face value it looks like there is a mix up as the Authentic version of VSP runs perfectly.

I am assuming you are using XAMPP with PHP 8.2.xx on windows here? Because I see you are still using the unauthorized version seen here?

Without seeing the files and database setup, I am dead in the water here. You can PM them to me.

The error message are being thrown due to not finding data, BTW. We need to figure out why this is and I have a huntch.

Sorry and thanks!
