TYPO3 Core

After upgrading 4.1.7 to 4.1.8 I get the following in the PHP error log:

apache2: PHP Warning:  Wrong parameter count for md5() in /var/local/typo3/typo3_src-4.1.8/t3lib/class.t3lib_div.php on line 1395

In the install tool the "Generate Random Key" is not working anymore.

Environment: Debian Sarge, PHP 4.3.10-22 as Apache2 module

I've patched 4.1.8 following the Wiki guide:

Patching TYPO3 4.1.8 to work with PHP4

You have to change two files:

Open typo3_src-4.1.8/t3lib/class.t3lib_div.php, search for

public static function generateRandomBytes($count) {

and replace it by

function generateRandomBytes($count) {

Then open typo3_src-4.1.8/typo3/sysext/cms/tslib/class.tslib_content.php and insert below

require_once(PATH_t3lib."class.t3lib_parsehtml.php");

the line

require_once(PATH_tslib."str_ireplace.php");

Finally, you have to download the pear-package PHP_Compat and copy the file Compat/Function/str_ireplace.php to typo3_src-4.1.8/typo3/sysext/cms/tslib/ (Warning: Version 1.6.0a2 has an bug in the function str_ireplace. Download another version than this!)

That's it. Your Typo3 4.1.8 should now work in an PHP4-only environement.
