Hi everybody,

there is issue in eShop version 4.6.0, which occurs if you are running on PHP version lower than 5.3.0:  
[https://bugs.oxid-esales.com/view.php?id=3969](https://bugs.oxid-esales.com/view.php?id=3969)

In this case you get a notice in the store front:

> Notice: Use of undefined constant E\_DEPRECATED - assumed ‘E\_DEPRECATED’ in /[eshop]/index.php on line 27

We’ll fix that in the next patch (4.6.1), but for now you get rid of it by inserting this line into the config.inc.php file:

```auto
if (!defined (E_DEPRECATED) ) { define(E_DEPRECATED,8192); }

```

Sorry for any inconvenience
