OK, thanks, I did as you suggested. I downloaded and ran the script at www.carbonize.co.uk/AG. I cut and pasted my database password in the config.inc.php file under $GB_DB["pass"], and I pasted the password into the field on the reset screen. When I clicked submit, I got: "Could not reset the username and password because: " and then nothing else.

What can I try next?

Thank you much for your time, I appreciate it.

Thank you. I did already know the URL for the admin. I get the login screen when I go there. I came to this message board yesterday and looked at some previous messages to try to figure this out. I went into PHPMyAdmin and ran a SQL statement that was supposed to reset the userid/password to test/123. But I can not get in using that.

This is what is in book_auth:
1 test 773359240eb9a1d9 7d8b85294e2e060b83f596a4fc5561ce 20051015110401

I assume that password equates to 123. But when I use test and 123 it doesn't let me in.

Thanks for your help. What to try next?

Hi. My guestbook wsa hacked, something about Popo and a black screen. I looked around in PHPMyAdmin and could find it. I brought up admin.php and got the right screen but couldn't get into the 'easy admin' to delete any posts (black screen again). I did delete some in PHPMyAdmin. But I changed the userID and password to test and 123 and now I can't get into then admin at all. Argh!

Now I have two problems. Can't get into admin and still need to fix the hack! Can someone please help?

Thank you, that would be great. Another developer told me that he thought, that anything that I did an fopen() for, would automatically be closed when the script terminates. Other than sloppy coding, is this true?

But yes, it there is a better way that is fine too.

Thanks for any help.

My hosting company is giving me the run-a-round.
Is there a fix for this fclose being disabled?
Can I use something else instead?
And, please be patient with me, what happens if I just delete that line(s) and don't fclose at all (will it work)?

I have emailed my hosting company about why they are disabling fclose, have not heard back yet. Thank you for any work-around you can provide.

That file is a little different. The error is from the fclose in this chunk of code (below). How can I fix this one? Thanks!!

function generate_new_session_id($user_id) {
srand((double)microtime()*1000000);
$session = md5 (uniqid (rand()));
$unix_time = time();
$config="<?php\n";
$config.="\$auth['session']=\"$session\";\n";
$config.="\$auth['uid']=\"$user_id\";\n";
$config.="\$auth['expire']=\"$unix_time\";\n";
$config.="?>";
$fp = fopen("$this->include_path/session.php","w");
flock($fp, 2);
fwrite($fp, $config);
flock($fp, 3);
fclose($fp);
return $session;
}

I just downloaded and installed the poll becasue I want to quit using the Bravenet poll that I currently use. I changed permissions as per the readme file. But when I access mydomain/poll/admin I get the following errors:

Warning: fclose() has been disabled for security reasons in /home/obsessed/public_html/poll/include/class_template.php on line 75

The login box shows below that but a graphic is missing. Please help!

Thank you

Thank you SO much, that worked!

The URL was *not* longer than 200 characters, but for some reason your fix worked so I am happy.

Thanks again!!

Hi. I am trying to add a comment to a post in my guestbook. The comment I want to add has a URL in it, for instance:

"Hi. Go to www.something.com/some/place.htm for more info."

I keep getting:

"Your message contains some invalid words. Please correct it and re-submit."

There are no invalid words. When I replace the slashes with a different character, the comment works fine. But I want to have a URL in a comment. How can I do this? Does anyone know?

Thanks in advance...
