hello ladies and gentleman Razz

I've been trying to make (rebuild) an irc-script (which can enter Quakenet) & which should be a module in phpnuke.

I took the 'basic' phpcode from another irc_chat addon and added the script of the irc_applet i have in it.

Now i get this error when I try to view this:

Parse error: parse error in /home/httpd/vhosts/loungefraggers.hosting-it.be/httpdocs/modules/IRC_Chat/index.php on line 15

And the page is further on totally blank.

Line 15 consists of this:

Code:

 if (!eregi("modules.php", $PHP_SELF)) {

followed by

Code:

   die ("You can't access this file directly...");


    }

This piece was pasted from the original addon so I dont understand what could have go wrong.

This is the part where you should come in Laughing

any help is more as welcome Wink

regards

Try changing this line
if (!eregi("modules.php", $PHP_SELF)) {
to
if (!eregi("modules.php", $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'])) {

ok that worked but i got the old screen from the old addon somehow, so i have put all my new files into a separate folder and get the same error again Confused

so none of the two works at the moment

Well, you must use the way I told you if register_globals is not on in your php.ini. I would delete the cookies and cache before I do anymore testing if I were you.

dude i'm confused now Laughing

register_globals?
cookies?

Browser cookies. Clear those and clear the cache.

If the second way of coding works to get past the error, then that seems to imply that the register_globals setting in the php.ini file (PHP configuration) is not set to on. You can run this script

Code:

<?


phpinfo();


?>

to verify the setting. Save that code to a file and ftp the file to your site and run it.

Mmm, thanks for the replies already, but i'll watch it tomorrow, have had a busy day and next day will be too Sad

I'll just place a few questions before i go to sleep (remember i am a php dummie Confused

)
- do spaces matter in this coding ? for exemple:

Code:

if (!eregi("modules.php", $PHP_SELF)) {

does it matter if I use spaces or not before the 'if' ?
- you speak of saving that code to a file: how to run it? (dont think the name of the file matters?)

all start is not easy, but this is d***ed difficult for me! Laughing

Your script will not know what $PHP_SELF is if register_globals is not on. That's why you need to run that script. Save it as whatever you want - test.php. Spaces do not matter.

howdy!

I've run it and it sais it is enabled. Dunno what i'm doing wrong here.

Is there any way I can send these files to you ?
