I posted back in September 2017 that I am a fan of the AutoIndex 2.2.4 PHP script. See my post “Bootsrap 3 Responsive Template for AutoIndex PHP Script<\/a>“.<\/p>\n

Many ISPs and web designers are moving to PHP\u00a0 7.x, the current version of PHP.\u00a0 Unfortunately this causes AutoIndex 2.2.4 to stop working. It will throw an error referring to a magic_quotes function call on line 122 of the index.php<\/code> file:<\/p>\n

Fatal error<\/b>: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function set_magic_quotes_runtime()<\/code><\/p>\n

The magic_quotes function was taken out of PHP 7.x. But have no fear, it turns out that the solution is not too difficult.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

      1. Make a backup copy of the original index.php<\/code> in case something goes wrong.<\/li>\n
      2. Open index.php<\/code> in your editor and find lines 116 to 122 which should look like:
        \nif (@get_magic_quotes_gpc())
        \n\/\/remove any slashes added by the \"magic quotes\" setting
        \n{
        \n$_GET = array_map('stripslashes', $_GET);
        \n$_POST = array_map('stripslashes', $_POST);
        \n}
        \n@set_magic_quotes_runtime(0);<\/code><\/li>\n
      3. Disable these lines by remarking them out with \/* at the beginning and *\/ at the end like this:
        \n\/* if (@get_magic_quotes_gpc())
        \n\/\/remove any slashes added by the \"magic quotes\" setting
        \n{
        \n$_GET = array_map('stripslashes', $_GET);
        \n$_POST = array_map('stripslashes', $_POST);
        \n}
        \n@set_magic_quotes_runtime(0); *\/<\/code><\/li>\n
      4. Save the file and close your editor.<\/li>\n
      5. Now flush your browser cache, run your AutoIndex page, and start testing.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        This fix worked for me. I tested the change in Firefox, Chrome, Edge, and Internet Explorer. So far there have been no problems. Let me know if this works for you.<\/p>\n
