error with functions.php and sessions.php

[danrak]

Ok, everytime I try and edit the functions.php to do a hack, I recieve this error:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING in /home/tsf/public_html/admin/functions.php on line 812

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: vbdate() in /home/tsf/public_html/admin/sessions.php on line 399


The only way to get rid of it is to re-upload the file from the original. This is driving me nuts.

Xenon will probably tell you this soon, but you are not allowed to post full vBulletin files on the site; it's against the rules.

edit: Never mind, he's already edited your post.

Now to your problem.

Post the code chunk around line 812 of your functions.php, but not the whole file.

Also, which hack are you trying to install?

[Xenon]

removed your files

you are not allowed to post vb-files here!!!!

to help out, there is just an error in functions.php, which produces the error in sessions.php

post the lines 808-817 of your functions.php can help

[danrak]

Ok, sorry.

I think I may have found the problem. Line 808 had this:

$openingpos = strpos($buffer,'<?');


Could that be it? I have no idea how it got there. I'm reffering to <? in there.

If not lines 808-817 are as follows:

$openingpos = strpos($buffer,'<?');
$closingpos = strrpos($buffer, '?');
$buffer=substr($buffer, 0, $openingpos).substr($buffer, $openingpos+5, $closingpos-($openingpos+5)).substr($buffer, $closingpos+5);
}
$buffer = str_replace(""", "\"", $buffer);
}

return "</normalfont><blockquote><pre><smallfont>PHP:</smallfont><hr>$buffer<hr></pre></blockquote><normalfont>";
}

It is doing this when I try and do any hack that invovles the functions.php. The last hack I tried to do was the order of the smilies. Also with the attachment as files hack, and a few others I can not think of. I think the store was one of them too.

Are you cutting and pasting using a TEXT editor? Or are you using something like Wordpad which can cause formatting errors?

[danrak]

I'm using the editor in Cpanel on my webhost.

this line cannot work:
$buffer = str_replace(""", "\"", $buffer);

change it to this:
$buffer = str_replace('"', '\"', $buffer);

or that would be better:
$buffer = addslashes($buffer);

[danrak]

It is working now, thank you.
