Hello all,
I am currently getting this error message:
Warning: Unknown: Your script possibly relies on a session side-effect which existed until PHP 4.2.3. Please be advised that the session extension does not consider global variables as a source of data, unless register_globals is enabled. You can disable this functionality and this warning by setting session.bug_compat_42 or session.bug_compat_warn to off, respectively in Unknown on line 0
Using php 5.12
here is the code at the top of the page:
<?php
$db_host = "xxx.xx.xx.xx";
$db_user = "xxxxxxxx";
$db_password = "xxxxxxxxxx";
$db_name = "xxxxxxxxx";
// connect to mysql server
session_start();
//include( "include/connect.inc.php" );
// connect to mysql server
$db = mysql_connect( $db_host, $db_user, $db_password ) or die(mysql_error() );
// select the database to use
mysql_select_db( $db_name ) or die( mysql-error() );
?>Followed by:
<div id="navigation">
<hr />
<span class="class1">
<a class="home" href="index.php">Blog</a> ||
<a class="submit" href="input.php">Post a entry</a> ||
<?php if( strcmp( $_SESSION["logged_in"], "OK!" ) == 0): ?>
<a class="logout" href="logout.php">Logout</a>
</span>
<hr />
</div>
<?php
$result = mysql_query("SELECT timestamp, id, title, author FROM micro_blog_posts ORDER BY id DESC");
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
$date = date("l F d Y",$row['timestamp']);
$id = $row['id'];
$title = strip_tags(stripslashes($row['title']));
$author = stripslashes($row['author']);
if (mb_strlen($title) >= 20)
{
$title = substr($title, 0, 20);
$title = $title . "...";
}
print("<a href=\"update.php?id=" . $id . "\">" . $date . " -- " . $author . " -- " . $title . "</a><br />");
}
mysql_close();
?>
<?php else: ?>
<a href="login.php">Login</a>
<?php endif; ?>If I refresh the page the error disappears. What is the problem? Does it have to do with: session_start();? How do I solve it It's all a learning experience and the more I know the better I can be at helping someone else down the road. Any help would be appreciated.
