AVICC will be down for a bit (hopefully not long) while it gets updated to support PHP 7 (it uses MySQL, which has been removed and replaced with MySQLi apparently, requiring the code to be updated

If you have a Bid Request etc, email it or PM it till AVICC is back to normal

Thanks!

An update on this:

SQL migration is mostly complete (MySQL to MySQLi)

PHP 7.4 is also very strict on NULL/Blank values so having to update a lot of code for that too

Welcome to a more modern world.

I needed to support some PHP applications on my previous job, always hated those implicit conversions.

haha yah it needs to be done for sure (and it make the code more readable)

AVICC was originally built over a decade ago, kinda crazy.

Most of my site was made more than 16 years ago, on PHP4 and I learnt PHP in sametime than I coded it... When changing provider I had to change many things just to fullfill PHP5 requirements, which is the minimum allowed by the provider.
I already know that switching to PHP7 will be a nightmare, not only because of MySQLi but also because of the ereg_replace deletion which I use a lot !

I hope you will make the change quicker for AVICC than I would for my my site...

If I create another website, it'll probably be coded in HTML 3 or 4, so it can be accessed on retro computers. And because I feel too old to delve into PHP and mySQL Smile

haha yah, my host removed PHP5 without notice (they did say it was going to happen sometime this year lol) so I didn't have a great chance to plan for it, thus AVICC going down without a ton of notice for everyone.

A few warnings appear in Bid Assist

Warning: Use of undefined constant add - assumed 'add' (this will throw an Error in a future version of PHP
...

Looks like the code will need another update for Php 8 :p !

I have trouble accessing the site using Google Public DNS, but OpenDNS is working.
