Learning Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 I am a newbie to this forum and a real beginner on PHP After the website went down after the server upgrade to 5.4.30, parts came back but in other places got 2 error messages. 1. Home page - Login by members Fatal Error: call to undefined function session_is_registered() in member_auth_fns.php on line 28 2. Admin - Login by me Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '$_SESSION' (T_VARIABLE), expecting '(' in contacts/user_auth_fns.php line 28 I appreciate that the old php was based on session_start (), session_register, session_is_registered, session_unregister, but these were all deprecated in 5.4.30. So to put it bluntly, after trying to interpret the help manuals etc I found a backup I had taken before this and in respect of the Home page login and the admin login what I think was the previous relevant code was before the event <? function login ($member_name, $password) // check member and password with db // if yes, return true //else return false { // connect to db $conn = db_connect(); if (!$conn) return 0; $result = MySQL_query(select * from people where username='$member_name' and password = '$password' "); if (!$result) return 0; if (MySQL_num_rows($result)>0) return 1; else return; } function check_auth_member Some text here global $auth_member; if ( (session_is_registered("auth_member")) && (isset($auth_member)) ) return true; else return false } ?> Anyone who can give me the revised code for this it would be greatly appreciated Learner Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/289955-website-server-was-upgraded-to-php-5430-and-now-doesnt-work/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 That code is in some serious need of being thrown out. The session_is_registered function is deprecated. The mysql_* extension is deprecated Short tags have long been disabled by default. And in general it's just poor code. Moving forward, you might want the code maintained. 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/289955-website-server-was-upgraded-to-php-5430-and-now-doesnt-work/#findComment-1485550 Share on other sites More sharing options...
