Security Image not displaying numbers anymore?!

juliekwatts · Post by **juliekwatts** » Fri Feb 12, 2010 5:56 pm

Script URL:
Version of script:1.6
Hosting company:fatcow.com
URL of phpinfo.php:
URL of session_test.php:
What terms did you try when SEARCHING for a solution: security image, code that shows

Write your message below:

All of a sudden the code in my Guestbook does not show anymore. People are no longer able to sign the book...It just shows a box that says "Security image". I checked with my host to see if gdlibrary is installed, and it is. Nothing else has changed on my end, so I am not sure why its not working all of a sudden when it used to work fine... Please help! http://www.abigailgoestowashington.com/guestbook.html

Hello Julie,

I think it could be one of two problems:

1. A problem with sessions
Like in viewtopic.php?t=2858
2. A problem with your code (but from your explanation this seems not likely)
Like in viewtopic.php?t=2931

Try 1. with the session_test first and post result (or link to files).
If session is true, then try 2. and see if you get any errors (what i don't expect).

Greetings,
Henrie

Ok, I uploaded the Session Test. Here is what I got...

http://www.abigailgoestowashington.com/ ... n_test.php

Session started successfully!

http://www.abigailgoestowashington.com/ ... _test2.php

$_SESSION['test'] is set to: FALSE

FYI: This isn't the only one that's not working. I have this Guestbook on 6 different websites...and none of them are showing the security code.

This means the server on which you host your guestbook has a problem with sessions. Ask your hosting company to correct this, you can give them the link to the session_test files.

If they can not help you, you can try the solution as posted in the following thread viewtopic.php?t=1948

I am glad you got it working again.
I hope you will now be able to fix the problems with your other guestbooks too.

Greetings,
Henrie

I told them about the sessions problem, and whatever they did fixed all the guestbooks. Something probably happened when they updated their server the other day...Thanks for your help!
