Did your host upgrade PHP to version 7? The function set_magic_quotes_runtime was deprecated in PHP 5.3 and removed in PHP 7. Ref. http://php.net/manual/en/function.set-m ... untime.php

Joomla 1.5 had its EOL (End of Life) in 2012 and its third party extensions may also be vulnerable. Therefore it is best to start planning a migration to a supported version or rebuild the site using the latest, supported version of Joomla.

Hello,

Hello I found this and wanted to see if there was a solution to get my site (Joomla 1.5) back online so I can start to transition to current version of Joomla. Error_log shows this:

PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function set_magic_quotes_runtime() in /xxxx/xxx/public_html/includes/framework.php:21 Stack trace: #0 /xxxx/xxx/public_html/index.php(22): require_once() #1 {main} thrown in /xxxx/xxxx/public_html/includes/framework.php on line 21

Line 21: @set_magic_quotes_runtime( 0 );
Line 22: require_once ( JPATH_BASE .DS.'includes'.DS.'framework.php' );

If anyone has a fix I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you!

Did your hosting company update the PHP version from 5.6 (or lower) to PHP 7.0 (or higher)?
Joomla 1.5 used the function set_magic_quotes_runtime, which is not available anymore in PHP 7.0 or higher.

Workaround: ask your hosting company to (temporary) switch the server to PHP 5.6.

Or install a webserver environment on your local server (using LAMP / XAMP / WAMP / MAMP or something else),
use FTP to copy the files from your server to the local enviroment,
and phpMyAdmin to create an SQL dump that you install in the database of your local enviroment,
