Localhost with KISGB-nuke problem

hanscom · Hangin' Around Joined: Oct 16, 2003 Posts: 31

Hi,
php-nuke 7.6 runs as localhost on my pc with success. I have installed kisgb-nuke and it is in the admin panel.
Changes made in kisgb admin panel are successfull. All attributes of folders and files in localhost are "Archive"only.
If I start kisgb I see the sample message, but as soon as I sign the guestbook with a new message,
I get a white screen and the message has not been added to kisgb.csv.php in the kisgb module.
On a website it works. Any hints are welcome.
Regards, Hans

Thanks for your time.
Error message says:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_PRIVATE, expecting ']' in E:\AppServ\www\modules\kisgb\addtogb.php on line 56
Line 56 is:
$HTTP_POST_VARS[private] = $HTTP_POST_VARS[private_msg];

I am guessing that you are running PHP5 on your local PC? I think in PHP5 the word private is now a reserved word. If you are running XAMPP, there is a downgrade .bat file that will downgrade you to PHP4, where that script might run better.

Or you could try to change the script. It would be better if that line was written like:

$HTTP_POST_VARS['private'] = $HTTP_POST_VARS['private_msg'];

(notice the quotes)

There will probably be more changes than that required. Perhaps Raven has a PHP5 compatible version of that script?

Thanks for the tip about error reporting.

Yes, I am running PHP5
I changed the script in line 56 (private with quotes)
After that, I also had to change line 57 to add quotes.
Problem solved !
Thanks for your tips and help.
Regards,
Hans

Lines 56 & 57 changed in addtogb.php of KISGB-nuke 5.11 :
$HTTP_POST_VARS[private] = $HTTP_POST_VARS[private_msg];
if ($HTTP_POST_VARS[private]!="on") unset($HTTP_POST_VARS[private]);
into:
$HTTP_POST_VARS['private'] = $HTTP_POST_VARS['private_msg'];
if ($HTTP_POST_VARS['private']!="on") unset($HTTP_POST_VARS['private']);

(Quotes added)

What version are you running? This was corrected in v4.04. And ALL of the array elements are now quoted in v5.2.0 which is xhtml compatible. But, the logic would not have been affected.

Change Log wrote:

/* This next line adds the private variable [back] to the post array. This is needed because I had to rename private to private_msg in index.php - add section. In NN6.x, the word private is apparently reserved and was causing a javascript error. This code caused the least amount of pain to remedy the situation */

if (isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['private_msg']))
$HTTP_POST_VARS['private'] = $HTTP_POST_VARS['private_msg'];

if (isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['private']) AND $HTTP_POST_VARS['private']!='on')
unset($HTTP_POST_VARS['private']);

What isn't working?
