    After calling

    I'm getting the series of Strict Standards: Declaration of Person (Family, Source etc.)::getLinkUrl() should...
    Earlier it was OK, now - it's not. Is there any simple way to correct this problem? I loved PhpGedview and now it looks like I lost my site. Only the pictures are possible to recover (from gedview/media).

    Thank you very, very much...

    You are running a VERY old version of PhpGedView!!!!

    You should upgrade your installation to the latest-and-greatest 4.3.1 SVN. Instructions on where to find the "SVN" version and how to upgrade may be found in the Discussion forum. The 4.3.1 SVN version is very large, and you can reduce its size on your server. The Discussion forum has instructions.

    Before you do the upgrade to version 4.3.1 SVN, you need to determine whether your GEDCOM file (found in the /index directory) is OK and has all the latest changes to your database. Unless you have chosen to disconnect the GEDCOM from the database by specifying that the two should not be synchronized (in the GEDCOM configuration), you should be OK.

    If your database and the GEDCOM are not synchronized, you will need to disable the Strict Standards warning by setting an option in the php.ini file (your service provider will probably have to do this for you). This web site mentions several ways of disabling the Strict Standards warning; the one you want is the one that adds a single line to the php.ini file:
    https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1248952/php-5-disable-strict-standards-error

    After having disabled the Strict Standards warning, your site should come back to life, so that you can export the database to a GEDCOM. No need to download.

    The export of the database to a GEDCOM is only necessary if the database and the GEDCOM aren't synchronized.

    When you have installed and launched the 4.3.1 SVN version, you MUST immediately import the GEDCOM into the database. If you don't do this, the indexes will be corrupt and things will not work properly.

    Thank you very much, Gerry. I was nice surprised to know that my favorite Gedview is still in good condition, and that there are people who keep it running smoothly. To the subject: when I downgraded PHP to lower version I got a thousand errors, so - after downloading newest version of PHPGedview I installed it and everything is OK. I saved all my pictures and probably there was nothing more to save. My GEDCOM file was OK.
    Thank you very much again.

    You're welcome. If you encounter any problems, please let me know so that (maybe) I can fix them.

    Webtrees was created from PhpGedView when almost all of the developers "abandoned ship" about 10 years ago. I chose to stick around, because I saw no reason to switch to Webtrees; PhpGedView did what I needed to have done.

    One of these days I'll get around to making the SVN version an officially downloadable set of files. No rush, though.
