cmdeer Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 So, I have this search form, which has worked totally fine for almost a year. Then, all of a sudden, the search stopped working and the admin stopped working - basically the entire database stopped working. Here's the php for the search form... http://www.equinus-sapientia.net/beqannamembers/search.txt Below is what is not working. Type in anything, and it doesn't return any results. http://www.equinus-sapientia.net/beqannamembers/search.php Any suggestions? I'm not fluent with php, so if you see anything that might be an issue, try to keep it lay-mens Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/126188-search-form-suddenly-stopped-working/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
skateme Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 If you didn't modify anything, then your host probably did something, like change their php.ini file. Ask them..

cmdeer Posted September 28, 2008 Author Share Posted September 28, 2008 Thanks for the fast reply If they did, indeed, do this, what would I need to change to get it working again?

AndyB Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 Looking at your code (released 5 years ago), it's obvious that it was written for an old version of php where register_globals = ON. That's the insecure setting which was fixed in later version of php. So, it looks as though your web host finally got around to updating their version of php to something modern and left the setting of register_globals as OFF. Change your script to suit is the simple solution. if ($action == "select") should be if ($_POST['action']=="select") Make similar changes to all form variables and it'll work.

cmdeer Posted September 28, 2008 Author Share Posted September 28, 2008 Slowly but surely! I changed that, and it sends me to a blank page. I updated the txt file and the php file, any other suggestions/variables I missed?

cmdeer Posted September 28, 2008 Author Share Posted September 28, 2008 Okay, so I browsed around a bit and found some codes to override some of the issues with the global security. Honestly, it's a childrens site, I don't care about security. I applied it to the search page and it worked, and then I applied it to the admin page and it lets me log in, but then it stops there. Also, it's not working very well for the add page either. http://www.equinus-sapientia.net/beqannamembers/add2.txt http://www.equinus-sapientia.net/beqannamembers/admin.txt Any more suggestions?
