Hi guys. Today I've tried to compile an older plugin with the Compiler 1.9.0.5249.
I got an error that I don't know how to fix.
The error line: warning 233: symbol "md5" is marked as deprecated: Use hash_string() function. Also, see Hash_* constants.
And this is the cod from the sma

PHP Code:

stock convert_password(const password[])
{
    new pass_salt[64], converted_password[34];

    formatex(pass_salt, charsmax(pass_salt), "%s%s", password, SALT)
    md5(pass_salt, converted_password)
    
    return converted_password
} 


I want to thank you in advance for any information or help.
I hope you are all well in this period we are going through.

It's not an error, it's a warning and the code still compiled fine. You have an explanation on how to fix it in the warning itself.

Deprecation warnings mean that there is better new alternative for the functions used inside the code. In this case "hash_string" is a better alternative for the old "md5" function.

Thank you so much for your fast reply to my post.
I made that change when I first get the "warning"

PHP Code:

stock convert_password(const password[])
{
    new pass_salt[64], converted_password[34];

    formatex(pass_salt, charsmax(pass_salt), "%s%s", password, SALT)
    hash_string(pass_salt, converted_password)
    
    return converted_password
} 


Now I get an error
RegisterSystem.sma(2781) : error 035: argument type mismatch (argument 2)

Can you pls make this change for me on an example code?
I'm sure hash_string is not write how it has to be.

Thank you again.

Checking the API I believe it is this way, I have not tested it.

PHP Code:

stock convert_password(const password[])
{
    new pass_salt[64], converted_password[34];

    formatex(pass_salt, charsmax(pass_salt), "%s%s", password, SALT)
    hash_string(pass_salt, Hash_Md5, converted_password, charsmax(converted_password))

    return converted_password
}

.Done
That was the right way to write the code.
Thank you so much iceeedr and OciXChrom
Take care!

You should read the documentation for the new function before you use it because a deprecated function isn't always replaced by an exact duplicate (which would make no sens and the function wouldn't be deprecated).

I already read the documentation before the post but I don't understand much of what it says there. I don't know the pawn language but I want to learn it for the future. From long time I was thinking on learn how to create my own plugins. But I never done it.
Thanks for the advice I will keep that in mind.
Take care fysiks

If you didn't understand it, let us know so we can help you learn it. Also, showing that you're actually putting in some effort will help build your credibility around here. Saying "do this for me" is the worst thing that a person can say in the Scripting Help section.
