PHPMailer and set_magic_quotes_runtime()

[joe92]

I am setting up PHPMailer to send pdf's from my server and I have just come into the following error:

Deprecated: Function set_magic_quotes_runtime() is deprecated in /var/www/PHPMailer_v5.1/class.phpmailer.php on line 1471

 

Deprecated: Function set_magic_quotes_runtime() is deprecated in /var/www/PHPMailer_v5.1/class.phpmailer.php on line 1475

 

The code in question is this (I've pointed out the lines mentioned above):

<?php
/**
   * Encodes attachment in requested format.
   * Returns an empty string on failure.
   * @param string $path The full path to the file
   * @param string $encoding The encoding to use; one of 'base64', '7bit', '8bit', 'binary', 'quoted-printable'
   * @see EncodeFile()
   * @access private
   * @return string
*/
  private function EncodeFile($path, $encoding = 'base64') {
    try {
      if (!is_readable($path)) {
        throw new phpmailerException($this->Lang('file_open') . $path, self::STOP_CONTINUE);
      }
      if (function_exists('get_magic_quotes')) {
        function get_magic_quotes() {
          return false;
        }
      }
      if (PHP_VERSION < 6) {
        $magic_quotes = get_magic_quotes_runtime();
        set_magic_quotes_runtime(0);                            //<-- Here
      }
      $file_buffer  = file_get_contents($path);
      $file_buffer  = $this->EncodeString($file_buffer, $encoding);
      if (PHP_VERSION < 6) { set_magic_quotes_runtime($magic_quotes); }    //<-- Here
      return $file_buffer;
    } catch (Exception $e) {
      $this->SetError($e->getMessage());
      return '';
    }
  }

 

So my question is, how can I get rid of this error? How should I best edit this function to no longer use the deprecated set_magic_quotes_runtime?

 

Any help is appreciated,

Joe

set_magic_quotes_runtime was officially deprecated as of PHP version 5.3, so changing the version check should take care of it.

 

if( PHP_VERSION < 5.3 ) {
