Hi,

You have too old version of PHP (PHP Version 4.1.2), you need at least PHP 4.3

Ask your host to update their PHP version to 4.4 because 4.1.2 is a very old and not secure version.

For those who cannot upgrade their PHP version, you can try this easy modification to get around the "Call to undefined function: session_regenerate_id()" error . I found this workaround over at php discussion forums. ( http://us3.php.net/session_regenerate_id )

Make backups first !!!!

#1 In the directory where you have installed guestbook, create a new file called
chk_sess_func.php and cut and paste the followign code into it.

<?php
if (!function_exists('session_regenerate_id')) {
function php_combined_lcg() {
$tv = gettimeofday();
$lcg['s1'] = $tv['sec'] ^ (~$tv['usec']);
$lcg['s2'] = posix_getpid();

$q = (int) ($lcg['s1'] / 53668);
$lcg['s1'] = (int) (40014 * ($lcg['s1'] - 53668 * $q) - 12211 * $q);
if ($lcg['s1'] < 0)
$lcg['s1'] += 2147483563;

$q = (int) ($lcg['s2'] / 52774);
$lcg['s2'] = (int) (40692 * ($lcg['s2'] - 52774 * $q) - 3791 * $q);
if ($lcg['s2'] < 0)
$lcg['s2'] += 2147483399;

$z = (int) ($lcg['s1'] - $lcg['s2']);
if ($z < 1) {
$z += 2147483562;
}

return $z * 4.656613e-10;
}

function session_regenerate_id() {
$tv = gettimeofday();
$buf = sprintf("%.15s%ld%ld%0.8f", $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'], $tv['sec'], $tv['usec'], php_combined_lcg() * 10);
session_id(md5($buf));
if (ini_get('session.use_cookies'))
setcookie('PHPSESSID', session_id(), NULL, '/');
return TRUE;
}
}
?>

Sorry, but for some reason the indentions do not line up correctly in this post.

#2 Save the file

#3 edit your gbook.php and find require_once('settings.php');
Add this line right under it.

require('chk_sess_func.php');

#4 Save your work & test.

//much snipped\\

I was also seeing this error even though working under PHP 4.3.0 under FreeBSD - tried the fix you posted and all problems with session_regenerate_id() went away.

Many thanks!

Hi there,

I have the same problem with:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: session_regenerate_id() in /home/sites/site033/web/php/gbook14/gbook.php on line 49

My hostingcompany is running PHP Version 4.1.2

I tried the workaround posted by "gtk" with the following result:

When i open the guestbook now, at the top there are these messages:

Warning: Cannot add header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/httpd/vhosts/villabussola.com/httpdocs/guestbook/chk_sess_func.php:37) in /home/httpd/vhosts/villabussola.com/httpdocs/guestbook/gbook.php on line 852

And underneath these messages the normal guestbook starts.

Anny idees on how to solve this?

Post by **Klemen** » Tue Jul 25, 2006 9:42 am

You should delete any blank lines or extra (html) code you have before <?php or after ?> in chk_sess_func.php file.

If that doesn't work you can try changing line 49 in gbook.php from

Code: Select all

session_regenerate_id();

to

Code: Select all

// session_regenerate_id();

Like mentioned before you should also ask your host to UPDATE their PHP version from the old an buggy version to a never and more secure one.

Oh, by the way, I never said "thanks" to gtk for sharing, so thanks

Thanks Klemen,

I did ask my host and they actually transfered my site to a server with PHP version 4.3.9. So that solved the problem!

But.....
when i was configuring the site again, first thing that happened was ,
I got a spam entry in my guestbook.
i'm running the latest version of guestbook,

junkmark_limit']=60;

Only thing I allow is "your website"

Hi,

Try this:
viewtopic.php?p=3970#3970

Also come back in a day or two, a new GBook update should be out with fixes to this kind of spam.

Villa Bussola · Post by **Villa Bussola** » Wed Jul 26, 2006 11:37 am

Klemen,

Thanks for that.

I updated to 1.42 rev 2

I'll let you know what happens.

Greetz Peter

By the way, really love the guestbook!

If so, what terms did you try:

After a update of my site the guestbook does'nt work anymore.
however I did not modify gbook ad all.
I get the following error.

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: gbook_input() in /home/boules/public_html/gbook134_xhtml/gbook.php on line 118

What causes the error?

I use this version of the gbook:

hello Kor,

On line 118 is this function

Code: Select all

$ip=gbook_input($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']);

which is part of the ipban function which i have added to the XHTML version of GBook.

The only thing i can think of is that your server does not understand the $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] request, which i can't really believe.
Has anything on your server changed?

Please upload the following file to your server (the phpinfo.php file inside the zip file) and post a link to it in this forum, then we'll have a look:

Hi,

Kor, if you get the undefined function error I suggest that you upload your gbook.php file again and don't make any changes at all to it.

You should also consider getting the latest modified version from Henrie:
viewtopic.php?p=4052#4052

Regards,

Henrie · Post by **Henrie** » Tue Aug 01, 2006 3:53 pm

Hello Kor,

I just looked at your phpinfo.php file results and the $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] is not the problem.

I don't know if you use the ipban function but you also could remove it out of the gbook.php file to to test if that solves the problem.
To do this, find the following lines (in XHTML version 1.34 mod HL.03) and remove them:

Code: Select all

$ip=gbook_input($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']);
$checkban =1; 
foreach ($settings['checkip'] as $banlist)
{if (preg_match("/$banlist/i",$ip)) 
{$checkban=0; break; } } 
if (!$checkban) 
{problem($lang['err11']);}

Although i don't think that the error message will disappear, i think you will get the same error with a different line number.

I think you should also try the solutions suggested by Klemen, and upgrading is always good.

Greetings,
Henrie

Henrie,
I solved the problem by restoring a backup.
I don't no why but for some reason the contents of the gbook file was changed. I located it by comparing my backup and the current file.
Thank you for your time end effort.
I will implement your new version ASAP.
Best regards kor Middel
