Hex Number is too big 0x1000000001

[iluber]

I think I have found a bug in OCS 2.1.2 at the end of the registration process if php 4.4.9 is used (but for what I have found on the internet this should be a problem with every PHP version under 5).

I have also found a possible workaround.

When the registration form is submitted the user is alway redirected to the form itself and three notices are shown:

Hex Number is too big 0x1000000001 in ...../classes/registration/form/UserRegistrationForm.inc.php on line 19

Hex Number is too big 0x1000000002 in ...../classes/registration/form/UserRegistrationForm.inc.php on line 20

Hex Number is too big 0x1000000003 in ...../classes/registration/form/UserRegistrationForm.inc.php on line 21

The effect is that even if registration was correctly completed and paid using PayPal , the registration is not correctly recorded and date paid field is not updated in the db.

The three notices refer to three constant values declaration.
The (really simple) workaround is to modify the definition of the constants to

define('REGISTRATION_SUCCESSFUL', 1);
define('REGISTRATION_FAILED', 2);
define('REGISTRATION_NO_PAYMENT', 3);

I think i a bug because in the system requirements of OCS, minimum PHP version required is : 4.2.x

Let me know if you need a bugzilla entry to be submitted and keep on the great work

Kind regards

I am having the exact same problem. We are about to open registration for our conference and I know the error msgs that appear at the top will result in endless emails to me.

Have the proposed workarounds been tested? Do they work OK. We too are running 2.1.2 I am not sure what version of php is running nor can we change it.

Please let me know ASAP as we would like to open our registration on 11/30/09

Thanks

I'm a consultant and made this modification for my customer.
We tested it but without using paypal payment.
That because my customer had the ability to ask his provider to upgrade PHP version on the server.
But I'm sure it would work also for paypal mayment, having seen and changed the code.

If you need more help let me know

Thanks. I assume that these changes need to made in ...../classes/registration/form/UserRegistrationForm.inc.php

It works in the PayPal account the errors listed are no longer appearing at the top of the registration page.

Thanks for you contribution of this fix. I definetely would initiate a bug for the next version of OCS.

It appears that this bug has been fixed in OCS 2.3

I just tested it and received no error.
