I am currently running
Nuke 7.8

I have not made any changes to site recently and one of my admins informed me of an error he was getting every time he tried to change the permissions of a user in an effort to add them to more areas of the forums. He is also seeing this doing almost any admin functions.

I also noticed this error when trying to change them via the forums module or when I was trying to moderate a forum topic. My only guess is that its possible maybe my host upgraded their php version and the script needs adjusting but I'm unsure how long they've been using 5.3.2. Here's the error message but I removed the directory links.


Warning: eregi() expects parameter 2 to be string, array given in /mainfile.php on line 118


I've looked at the file and line 118 and nothing looks unordinary. Any ideas why this would be happening? Btw, completing admin functions seems to work fine but the error still occurs.

Post that section of code so I can see it. Include the 30 lines above and below.

Replace this line:


foreach ($_POST as $secvalue) {


With this line:


foreach ($_POST as $sec_key => $secvalue) {

I made the change and uploaded the file and still got this

Warning: eregi() expects parameter 2 to be string, array given in /usr/home/myusername/public_html/mainfile.php on line 118

This is where line 118 is regarding the code shown in my second post (and btw, thank you. You seem to be the only one on MANY boards willing to even respond with solutions):

   if ((eregi("<[^>]*onmouseover*\"?[^>]*>", $secvalue)) || (eregi("<[^>]script*\"?[^>]*>", $secvalue)) || (eregi("<[^>]style*\"?[^>]*>",

The function eregi will be gone in PHP 5.3.+ so it may be best to use something else.

Since it is only a PHP warning you can add a check to see if it is an array and then work with it if it is.


foreach ($_POST as $sec_key => $secvalue) {
     if (!is_array($secvalue)) {
          if ((eregi ........
     }
}

Where would I add that in at? Also, when you say change to "something" else, do you have suggestions? I know some folks have been able to add something to the eregi to get it to work with newer versions of php. I'm in the process of moving to a new site but I need this current one to continue working until I'm ready to switch to the new site.

As far as suggestion's you can look at preg_match or strpos or even strstr all these php function can be used to compare strings.


   foreach ($_POST as $sec_key => $secvalue) {
      if (!is_array($secvalue)) {
         if ((eregi("<[^>]*onmouseover*\"?[^>]*>", $secvalue)) || (eregi("<[^>]script*\"?[^>]*>", $secvalue)) || (eregi("<[^>]style*\"?[^>]*>", $secvalue))) {
            die ("<center><img src=images/logo.gif><br><br><b>The html tags you attempted to use are not allowed</b><br><br>[ <a href=\"javascript:history.go(-1)\"><b>Go Back</b></a> ]");
         }
      }
   }
