Previously, I was instructed to change line 501 of the export functions php file to correct an error generated because my version of PHP is a little out of date. I would upgrade, but we are in the middle of a major event and updates to the server are forbidden until we end the event. I updated with the suggested code:
$scanned_date_object = DateTime::__construct($participant->date_scanned);
However, this provides a new error in the exported excel function:
<b>Fatal error</b>: Non-static method DateTime::__construct() cannot be called statically in <b>/home4/ab45863/public_html/2013/wp-content/plugins/event-espresso/includes/functions/export.php</b> on line <b>501</b><br />
What do I need to do to correct this error so I can use the export reporting functions of event espresso?

Hi Ole,
Which exported file contains this information?
What version of Event Espresso are you using?
What version of PHP are you using? (You can check this via the System Status menu)

This is the link of the original ticket: https://eventespresso.com/topic/excel-report-of-attendees-provides-failure-error-in-exported-file/
Our PHP version has not changed.

Hi Ole,
Until they can make the date scanned feature of the export to be compatible with verisons of PHP that are lower than 5.3 (or until you can have your host upgrade the version of PHP), one way to work around the issue for now is to comment out the code starting on line 500 of export.php. It will look like this after it has been commented out:
/*if(!empty($participant->date_scanned)) {
$scanned_date_object = DateTime::createFromFormat('Y-m-d H:i:s', $participant->date_scanned);
$scanned_date = $scanned_date_object->format(get_option('date_format') . ' ' . get_option('time_format'));
} else { */
$scanned_date = "";
/*} */
