Need editing capabilites since some persons use vulgar words sometimes. Maybe a censor could also be desirable.

Hi:

I would like to have poll demo 2 and demo 4 on same php page, Could this be possible?

I have put about 9 polls on same page and seems to work but all are same type...

Probably I will answer this when testing. Thank you very much for this Advanced Polling Tool!!!

Hi:

It appears the security problem is related with magic_quotes_gpc.

If magic_quotes_gpc is disabled, a remote attacker could send specially-crafted SQL statements to the include/class_poll.php script using the User-Agent header value, which could allow the attacker to add, modify, or delete information in the back-end database.

An alternative is to be sure magic_quotes_gpc is ON.

Hi:

Could someone tell IF these security issues are still present on AP:

This is very important, IMO.

Hi:

Today I have learned a lot of AP code still uses long array s and the default setting is 'register_long_arrays=off'. I dont want to turn that on just for one program.

Any estimate when the code will have for example $_SERVER instead of $HTTP_SERVER_VARS and the like? PHP 5 have been aroung a long time, soon php 5.2 will be available. It is time to clean up this excllent script code to be compatible with PHP 5.x

TIA

K, I will reply myself. I found a solution for embedding PHP applications into my main page under PHPWebThings. Thanks anyway.

Hi

My name is Edfel J. Rivera, I would like to embed the GuestBook (also phpBB and phpLinks) like you did into the main page.

Could you provide a pointer how to do that? I have tried with include but 'root' dir is htdocs and the app can't connect to their own dirs... runs from root but seek files in \guestbook or \links or \phpbb2

I want to do exactly what you have achieved phpBB2, Advanced GuestBook and phpLinks running from main. My url is:

http://neo.upr.edu

I am also using PHPWebThings, as portal. The PHPWT url is:
http://www.phpdbform.com

Maybe a module for the Advanced GuestBook and PHPWT will be better.

Anyway thanks for the input you may provide!
