phpThumbOf causes fatal error

design4music · December 22, 2021, 12:23pm

Hey, I have the following problem - just updated the site to MODX 2.8.3-pl and get this error:

Parse error : syntax error, unexpected ‘{’ in /homepages/22/d893002607/htdocs/new-mjs/mjs/core/model/phpthumb/modphpthumb.class.php on line 248

When I remove/uninstall phpThumbOf the site comes up fine though without image resizing functionality of course. Since it’s not a small site I’d prefer to just have it back instead of having to look for another Extra or resizing images.

Has anybody experienced a similar issue? What could be the problem? Please help!

What’s your PHP version?

What is the code in the file core/model/phpthumb/modphpthumb.class.php on line 248? Exactly like this?

github.com

modxcms/revolution/blob/1014ed8b4ed8a53f6fa46dda97bde31913e2fe9d/core/model/phpthumb/modphpthumb.class.php#L248

    
      
                      }
                      if (!$this->config_cache_force_passthru && preg_match('#^'.preg_quote($nice_docroot, '/').'(.*)$#', $nice_cachefile, $matches)) {
                          header('Location: '.dirname($matches[1]).'/'.urlencode(basename($matches[1])));
                      } else {
                          readfile($this->cache_filename);
                      }
                  }
                  catch(Exception $Exception) {
                      $this->DebugMessage('getimagesize() failed for "'.$this->cache_filename.'" with message: '.$Exception->getMessage(), __FILE__, __LINE__);
                  }
                  finally {
                      session_write_close();
                      exit;
                  }
          
          
    }
              return true;
          }
          public function SendSaveAsFileHeaderIfNeeded() {
              if (headers_sent()) {
                  return false;

This error comes from a MODx class, so switching to another extra probably won’t help.

It’s my client’s account at ionos (ex 1and1)… you asked about php version, so I looked up - it was 5.4 Changed to 7.4 re-installed phpThumbOf - works like a charm.

Thank you, as simple as it was… I couldn’t figure out.
