Legacy Compatibility
This document is work in progress.
A legacy compatibility module will be made available that automatically re-maps legacy v2.3 functions and classes to the new framework to load a compatiblity layer existing v2.3 add-ons can use.
Super Globals and Session Variables
The usage of legacy PHP long variables has been replaced with PHP super globals and are no longer referenced as globals in functions.
| Legacy | Super Global |
|---|---|
| $HTTP_GET_VARS | $_GET |
| $HTTP_POST_VARS | $_POST |
| $HTTP_COOKIES_VARS | $_COOKIES |
| $HTTP_FILES_VARS | $_FILES |
| $HTTP_SERVER_VARS | $_SERVER |
| (session variables) | $_SESSION |
Database
The legacy tep_db_* database functions have been replaced with the OSC\OM\Db class.
