PHP Warning: when i download attachment ?

[Wayne Luke]

The first warning is a PHP 7.4 deprecation notice. vBulletin 4.2.5 is not compatible with PHP 7.4 and not supported under this version. The maximum allowed version of PHP is 7.2.X as indicated in the notice at the top of the screen.

Undefined Constants are most likely missing quotes around array keys because they were considered optional by some when vBulletin 4.X was written. They are not optional anymore.

Continue vs. break is another PHP "improvement" over the last 5 years since development on vBulletin 4.X stopped.

You will need to either get your hosting provider to downgrade PHP to the 7.2.X series or have them upgrade to 8.X and upgrade your forums to vBulletin 5.7.3. I recommend the second course of action. vBulletin 4.X and PHP 7.2 will continue to become more and more outdated. Even PHP 7.4 is considered end of life now.
