help on SSI

[barry1947]

Hi to all,
I am using SSI which is working well.
It is however giving me a problem with filenames further down the line.
It appears that I am unable to process and file names with a quote in it.
i.e. rename("file'1.mp3","archive/file'1.mp3) will not work.
any help would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks in advance
Barry

Not sure how this is an SSI problem?

Hi There,
I felt this may be the best place, but of course I am probably wrong.
If I remove SSI, the functions in question work. It seems as though it changes the value of strings.
Best regards

what function did you add?

[barry1947]

Hi Illori,
this is all that is used.
   // Check If Logged On User
   require_once('../SSI.php');
   global $context;
   if ($context['user']['is_logged'])
   {
      $_SESSION['ADMIN']="ADMIN";
      $_SESSION['performer']=$context['user']['username'];
   }
further on down the line I may load an mp3 file to be played. or do some file maintenance etc. all attempts to process any file then fail.
If I do not include the above fragment, the same procedures appear to work.
I had a quick look at the SSI code. Is it possibly anything to do with magic_quotes somehow?
Many thanks
Barry

Magic quotes have been removed from modern PHP versions, what version of PHP do you have?

[barry1947]

Hi Arantor,
Many thanks for your reply.
The version appears to be PHP 5.6
The site is hosted.
This approach seems to be helping.

<?php
error_reporting(E_STRICT);
session_start();
if(!isset($_SESSION['runonce'])) {
   require_once('../SSI.php');
   global $context;
   $_SESSION['loggedin']=$context['user']['is_logged'];
   $_SESSION['runonce']=true;
   $_SESSION['username']=$context['user']['username'];
   $SQ=str_replace ("&cls","",$_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"]);
   header( 'Location: index.php?'.$SQ) ;
   die("Failed To Redirect From Publication Test<br>");
}

Sorry I should have also said that I am on version SMF 2.0.13 running on linux
I am afraid my brain is slightly frazzled lol.

Hi Guys,
Well sadly my idea did not work for either.
I have discovered that the inclusion of SSI has changed the way that strings are handled. I have sorted one of the errors by doing a str_replace('&#039;',"'",$MP3)
prior to including SSI that was not needed.
if you have anything to add in the way ef encoding/decoding tips specific to the use of SSI i would be grateful.
Another possible approach may be for me not to included SSI and go direct to the database/cookie etc.
Again any suggestions will be welcome.
Best regards
Barry

If you're doing that change before SSI, it's not SSI's problem...

[barry1947]

Hi Arantor,
This is the start of index php

<?php
require_once('../SSI.php');
global $context;
session_start();
$_SESSION['loggedin']=$context['user']['is_logged'];
$_SESSION['runonce']=true;
$_SESSION['username']=$context['user']['username'];   $SQ=str_replace ("&cls","",$_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"]);
//print_r($_SERVER);
error_reporting(E_STRICT);

So as you can see from this fragment eveything comes after.
If I remove the SSI functions they work.

[Arantor]

That's not what you said before. Also, it would still be very weird for SMF to autoescape everything as you describe.

And you're starting a session inside a session, which probably doesn't help - you can just use $_SESSION once you include SSI.php - that's where $context['user'] ultimately comes from anyway.

Hi,
What I said in the post after that was "Well sadly my idea did not work for either."
that means I had to change it!
What you are now seeing is the result of changing code again so that SSI is back at the top of the page again. I am now back to the start again.
Your point of the session already being started is useful. Thank you.
I will try removing the call to start another session again makes a difference although the session variables always seemed to be there.
