Hi,

First of all, thanks for the guestbook and sorry for asking this question even though I see alot of related posting regarding this topic. But I am still unable to figure out what I had missed.

I am unable to view the graphic ID. If I switch to text mode, I am unable to post a message even I typed in the same number. I tried to add the .htaccess to gbook folder, it will make the whole guestbook unable to access. I also tried to add the below in print_sec_img.php but not sure if I've done it right (must be wrong as it still doesnt' work...)


session_name('GBOOK');
session_save_path(/home/users/web/b1964/hy.zongzong/gbook/tmp);
session_start();


I don't know if it's my provider's problem or not. But I don't know what I should ask to have them help me make the right setting...

Many thanks for your help in advance!

It's a sessions problem, no doubt. Try this:

Add just this code to top of print_sec_img.php and gbook.php:

Code: Select all

session_save_path(/home/users/web/b1964/hy.zongzong/gbook/tmp); 

Make sure you have a "tmp" folder in your "gbook" folder and make sure the tmp folder is writable by scritps (chmod it to 777 (rwxrwxrwx)).

Thanks Klemen for the quick reply.

I've added the code like:

print_sec_img.php

<?php
session_save_path(/home/users/web/b1964/hy.zongzong/gbook/tmp);
session_name('GBOOK');
session_start();


gbook.php

<?php
session_save_path(/home/users/web/b1964/hy.zongzong/gbook/tmp);

# PHP guestbook (GBook)

But it returns a blank page when I try to access http://zongzong.hypermart.net/gbook/gbook.php

Have I add the code in the wrong place...?

Thanks again!!

Ah, invalid syntax. Forgot to add quotes around the tmp folder path, this is the correct one to use:

Code: Select all

session_save_path('/home/users/web/b1964/hy.zongzong/gbook/tmp');

I have had the same problem as described here.

Please could you advise how I work out the path required for the session data as shown below:


session_save_path('/home/users/web/b1964/hy.zongzong/gbook/tmp');


I am using dreamweaver.

Post your phpinfo file, you will find it in the topic "READ THIS BEFORE POSTING A NEW QUESTION!!"

By following the example above I managed to get this one working. It now works for both graphical as well as text based security.

Many thanks
