How/where, exactly, can I enable legacy (pre v5.x.y) PHP functionality, please?

I checked in my functions_legacy.php file; however, enable_legacy() is already present/not commented out.

I need to debug/troubleshoot why my old (external) DB calls are not working, anymore, via PHP/vB (despite my inclusion of global.php).

Specifically, the following code does not appear to process/recognize the fact that the logged-in user is really logged in:

PHP Code:


			
<?php

// ####################### SET PHP ENVIRONMENT ###########################

error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);



// #################### DEFINE IMPORTANT CONSTANTS #######################

define('NO_REGISTER_GLOBALS', 1);

define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'vborg_miscactions');



// ################### PRE-CACHE TEMPLATES AND DATA ######################

// get special phrase groups

$phrasegroups = array();



// get special data templates from the datastore

$specialtemplates = array();



// pre-cache templates used by all actions

$globaltemplates = array();



// pre-cache templates used by specific actions

$actiontemplates = array();

$self_dir = getcwd();

chdir('../');

require_once('global.php');

chdir($self_dir);

?>

Thank you,

What is exactly not working?
I see you are using pconnect, i strongly advice against this, unless really needed.

I also don't see why you would need legacy functions?

Thank you for your reply, Marco.

1) what is not working: connecting to external (non-vb) MySQL Databases and having vB userid/groupid/login status variables passed/read

http://www.500ecstasy.com/forums/LH/...e=0&perPage=25 yields the following error:

2) I have been using mysql_pconnect since the beginning; I tried mysql_connect without success, either...

3) legacy functions would (in theory) cause my broken PHP (see above) to work, in the interim, between now and the time it will take me to re-code

Thank you,

I just tried your code as a standalone script and it is working without an error.

I guess the userinfo error message in the top is part of your problem.

Do you have public phpinfo enabled?

Yes, temporarily.

What do you see/suggest?

Marco van Herwaarden · #6 11-19-2005, 07:49 PM

You can disable phpinfo again.

I didn't see anything that could directly be causing this.

If you take the exact file you posted here (it is obvious not the real file, things like passwords edited out) and save it as test.php, and only put "}}?>" in the bottom, do you still get the userinfo..... message?

If yes, try replacing the shorthand php opening tags '<?' by long tags '<?php' and see if that make any difference.

Marco van Herwaarden · #7 11-19-2005, 07:52 PM

PS Why you keep opening and closing php:

PHP Code:


			
<? } else { // is logged in ?> 

<? if($vbulletin->userinfo['usergroupid'] == 6 || $vbulletin->userinfo['usergroupid'] == 8 || $vbulletin->userinfo['usergroupid'] == 9 || $vbulletin->userinfo['usergroupid'] == 10 || $vbulletin->userinfo['usergroupid'] == 11) { // is correct level user ?> 

<?php

Why not just:

PHP Code:


			
<?php } else { // is logged in 

if($vbulletin->userinfo['usergroupid'] == 6 || $vbulletin->userinfo['usergroupid'] == 8 || $vbulletin->userinfo['usergroupid'] == 9 || $vbulletin->userinfo['usergroupid'] == 10 || $vbulletin->userinfo['usergroupid'] == 11) { // is correct level user

1) I added the string "}}?>" to my PHP file and saved it as "test.php"

2) I opened "test.php" in a browser and a white/blank page was displayed (in Firefox 1.0.7 & IE6)

3) I edited "test.php" and changed all shorthand php opening tags '<?' to long tags '<?php'

4) I reopened "test.php" in a browser and a white/blank page was displayed (in Firefox 1.0.7 & IE6) again

5) I editied my PHP usergroupid checking routine as specified, above, and repeated step #4; a white/blank page was displayed (in Firefox 1.0.7 & IE6) again

Marco van Herwaarden · #9 11-20-2005, 05:29 AM

A white blank page is better then what you got before. Before it somehow echoed userinfo....., which was part of $vbulletin->userinfo...

Thank you; what shall I do, next? I'm stumped...
