password reset error - Cannot redeclare do_magic_quotes_gpc()

[jimlongo]

2.3.3 / PHP5.3.18

 

When I try to reset the password, the email gets sent with the link.

When I click the link in the email I get a blank page.

 

This is the error I find in my logs

PHP Fatal error: Cannot redeclare do_magic_quotes_gpc() (previously declared in /blah/blah/public_html/blah/includes/functions/compatibility.php:18) in /home/blah/public_html/blah/includes/functions/compatibility.php on line 30

 

Thanks for any insight on this.

Did you upgrade from an older version of osCommerce? You've apparently copied all or part of do_magic_quotes_gpc() into that file twice. Look at the copy of includes/functions/compatibility.php that ships with osCommerce and use your comparison program to find where your copy is different.

Thanks for your response Jim.

 

They looked the same, just to be safe I copied the new file from a fresh download of 2.3.3 to my server.

 

Still get the same result and same error.

[♥kymation]

The error message says you have the same code on lines 18 and 30. Check again; that error is rarely wrong.

I repeat this is the new file from a fresh download of 2.3.3

 

here is lines 18 to 30 from that file

 function do_magic_quotes_gpc(&$ar) {
   if (!is_array($ar)) return false;

   reset($ar);
   while (list($key, $value) = each($ar)) {
     if (is_array($ar[$key])) {
       do_magic_quotes_gpc($ar[$key]);
     } else {
       $ar[$key] = addslashes($value);
     }
   }
   reset($ar);
 }

Check that you uploaded to the correct location. Also check that you are not uploading to the admin side for an error on the catalog side. I see nothing in that code that would cause the error you describe.

I've carefully replaced both of them. The catalog/includes/functions/compatibility.php and the catalog/admin/includes/functions/compatibility.php

Same thing.

 

Could it be something in my php configuration. I have

'--enable-magic-quotes'

in my configuration

 

magic_quotes_gpc On On

magic_quotes_runtime Off Off

magic_quotes_sybase Off Off

[♥kymation]

Now this is getting annoying. That should not happen. Oh well, time for the sledgehammer. Try replacing the code you posted above with this:

 

 if( !function_exists( 'do_magic_quotes_gpc' ) ) {
function do_magic_quotes_gpc(&$ar) {
if (!is_array($ar)) return false;

reset($ar);
while (list($key, $value) = each($ar)) {
if (is_array($ar[$key])) {
do_magic_quotes_gpc($ar[$key]);
} else {
$ar[$key] = addslashes($value);
}
}
reset($ar);
}
}

 

That doesn't really fix the problem, but it should get rid of the error message.

You're right . . . it get's rid of the error. Now I just get a blank page and have no explanation why in my error_log :)

[♥kymation]

It looks like this is one of those cases where PHP throws a completely bogus error message. That's going to be hard to fix. I would try turning off magic_quotes_gpc in the server settings. If that doesn't help, it's probably some other setting, with no idea of which one.

some sort of progress . . .

 

error has changed to

PHP Fatal error:  Cannot redeclare tep_db_connect() (previously declared in /home/foo/public_html/register/includes/functions/database.php:13) in /home/foo/public_html/register/includes/functions/database.php on line 25

 

This file is also the new file from 2.3.3

[♥kymation]

You could do the same trick of testing using function_exists(), but that's likely to result in a different error or another blank page. These error messages have nothing to do with the real problem. Unfortunately I have no idea what that problem is. Sorry, but I don't have any more good ideas.

You can see the reason by this way:

 function do_magic_quotes_gpc(&$ar) {
   if (!is_array($ar)) return false;
print_r($ar);
   reset($ar);
   while (list($key, $value) = each($ar)) {
  if (is_array($ar[$key])) {
    do_magic_quotes_gpc($ar[$key]);
  } else {
    $ar[$key] = addslashes($value);
  }
   }
   reset($ar);
 }

 

I think the $ar has similar and not only one array.

Thank you! I guess I wasn't careful enough when upgrading 2.3.1>2.3.2

I put the catalog/password_reset.php in the catalog/includes/languages/english/password_reset.php.
