Set Cookie and Forums

Posted: Tue Feb 04, 2003 6:47 pm

Hi, I am running 6.5B7 and to get the Forums to run correctly with out displaying errors at the top of each page I need to go in the following files,

session.php
viewtopic.php
posting.php

and comment out the lines that setcookie if I comment out these lines I can post and create threads without errors.

This isn't normal is it? don't I need those cookies to track postings for users? so when you login again it will tell which postings are new. Does anyone know why this is happening.

Thanks

I can tell you that the forums work fine. I know this because I fixed them for Beta 6 and the fixes were implemented in beta 7.

What errors were appearing when the cookie lines weren't commented out???

This is the error I get when I umcomment the lines:

Warning: Cannot add header information - headers already sent by (output started at /html1/header.php:32) in /html1/includes/sessions.php on line 198

Warning: Cannot add header information - headers already sent by (output started at /html1/header.php:32) in /html1/includes/sessions.php on line 199

same for the other 2 files viewtopic and post.

well, I can add to this anomoly. I get the same error as you but only in my viewtopic.php.
If I comment out the setcookie around line 555 then I don't get the error. But I haven't had a problem with the other two files I don't think.
and I haven't noticed anything strange with cookies either..yet Confused

I don't think the cookie itself is the problem. What version of php are you using? PHP 4.3 doesn't produce these errors (I know cause I discovered that original fix).

there are a couple of other header lines that can be commented out without disabling the cookies I think. The lines are mentioned in another topic somewhere, but I really have no idea where (I think it was on the phpnuke.org forums), so I can't point u in the right direction I'm afraid.

This was also present in nuke 6.0 and bbtonuke 2.0.6, i used to suggest pretty much the same "fix" back then example, but to be honest, i'm still wondering what causes it as i have several nuke sites with different nuke & bbtonuke versions and never had that error.

I think you are right. On my local test machine I am running php ver 4.2.2 and I do not have this problem. On the webserver of my host they are running 4.2.0 I sent an email requesting that they upgrade to 4.3 of course I am not holding my breath

My server just recently upgraded to PHP 4.3.
Thats' when my errors all over my site started. It took them a few hours but they got all the PHP settings right and most of the errors disapeared.
The only errors that were left were the [set locale] with the LC TIME fix in 3 files.
I had to change the LC TIME in
modules/Downloads/index.php
modules/Web_Links/index.php
mainfile.php

As for the Forums. I had the same errors as this topic covers and I fixed that by only having to comment out the one line in viewtopic.php

As I said..all "seems" to be working now.
