Problem with php-direct "hello world" reading arguments

[janaf]

Thanks Lynne,

Before reading your post I made a bug report http://tracker.vbulletin.com/browse/VBIV-9336

I found your solution suggested here:
http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showt...e+refresh+time
and the bug tracker here http://tracker.vbulletin.com/browse/VBIV-8082

However, it did not work for me. I tried the suggested code changes, flushed the CMS cache several times, even re-started Apache.

I also tried other more drastic code changes in execphp.php like:

PHP Code:

if (!isset($config['cache_ttl']) )
        {
            $config['cache_ttl'] = 0;
} 


and

PHP Code:

if ($config['cache_ttl'] > 999999)...... 


But it seems that whatever I do, the php direct content was still cached. Maybe pending some site specific setting?

Also this does not work for me:

ACP => Options => Add No-Cache HTTP Headers => Help Cookies and HTTP Header Options = yes

This works perfectly but of course degrades the site performance:

ACP => Options => Server Settings and Optimization Options =>Disable Content Caching

I tested mostly with this one-line php direct evaluation code

PHP Code:

$output=vB::$vbulletin->input->clean_gpc('r', 'mystring', TYPE_STR); 


And calling the page with a browser call like <url>&mystring=xxxxxx

So any ideas on what I can do?
