#76 Incompatible with PHP 5.2.12?

[Anonymous]

I was running the address book on my NAS box (Synology DS409). I recently upgraded the firmware on the box and the PHP version changed from 5.2.10 to 5.2.12. Unfortunately, this change also had the effect of breaking the address book as a number of commands now return errors. Rather than downgrade my firmware, could you check the compatibility of the program against this version of PHP? Thanks for creating this handy program. I really hope this issue can be resolved!

• Did you use the same version before/after?
• Could you send a screenshot with the error?

Thx

Just try, if 5.7.4 will work for you. 5.7.3 was broken with default config.

The problem was not with the PHP version. 5.7.4 is working with the default provided addressbook.sql. My original database still does not work but I was able to recover all the data by exporting and re-importing into the default empty database. The only difference I could see was that I had deleted early on, the default group name 'Rob' so my group_list table had no group_id with a value of '1'. This time, rather than delete the 'Rob' group, I just renamed it to 'Unused' :)

So, you had a problem creating the initial database or importing your existing contacts ?
