[JustJeremy]

Function mcrypt_create_iv() is deprecated in PHP 7 and will be removed in PHP 7.2
Cheers!

sorry what is the best way to replace mcrypt_create_iv() function?

[silverark]

Where is currently being used in Bonfire? CI has it as a fallback.

[kalyan2k]

thanks :)

yeah i'm having that : Message: Function mcrypt_create_iv() is deprecated
when i activate french translation.

[Reconix]

What version of Bonfire are you using?

I enabled the French translation and didn't see that.

[Altroo]

Hello i'm using the last version & here's the error :

[Reconix]

Sorry, couldn't reproduce this error but the only other thing I can think of is do you have openSSL enabled ?

[Reconix]

Also on a side note, what browser are you using? That icon in the top right is really bothering me.

[Altroo]

I'm using google chrome & how can i check if openSSL is enabled?

[Reconix]

phpinfo() ;)

I've just checked on chrome and that icon doesn't look like that, you're testing on your local system, right ?

[Reconix]

in php.ini
extension=php_openssl.dll
should be there to be more specific.

[Altroo]

I don't know what icon you are talking about & yeah i'm testing on xampp, & in php.ini that wasn't enabled so i enabled it but didn't work.
actually i see that error everywhere not just when using french.

[Altroo]

I think the project is broken or something now when i'm logged out i can't log in lol.
Never mind that but thanks for your help anyway.

[Reconix]

Ok so I just downloaded the latest version of Bonfire and the latest version of XAMPP and all looks good without any problems.

Double checked php.ini and openSSL is indeed on by default.

So I'm not sure what else to suggest other than trying to install bonfire and xampp again.
Let me know how you can get on.

Hi, I am having the same issue, you can access it here (https://new.quikdrawers.com/public/). The server has openssl enabled and even has the certificate in place. Any ideas on how to solve this?

[silverark]

@carcagi I can't see the error on that page. Have you fixed/solved it since?

[cijagani]

@Altroo @kalyan2k it is completability issue with php 7.0

mcrypt_create_iv is DEPRECATED

This function was DEPRECATED in PHP 7.1.0, and REMOVED in PHP 7.2.0.
http://php.net/manual/en/function.mcrypt-create-iv.php

you can use random_bytes() as an alternative.
http://php.net/manual/en/function.random-bytes.php

follow these steps to resolve error.

1. find file security.php location. it should be like this (bonfire.dev\bonfire\ci3\core\Security.php)
2. find get_random_bytes() method
3. find mcrypt_create_iv($length, MCRYPT_DEV_URANDOM) and replace with random_bytes($length)
4. that's it 👍
