Topic: Problem changing settings (in admin/settings.php)

For the most part, my PunBB installation has been working as intended. I recently noticed a problem when trying to change some settings in my Administration panel, under Settings. Whenever I try to change settings under Setup, Features, Announcements, E-mail, or Registration (my Censoring and Attachments settings pages seem to be properly functioning), after pressing the "Save Changes" button, I receive a blank page in my browser window. When I view the source of the document, the following is what it shows:

if (!defined('FORUM'))
    exit;

function pun_log_write_logfile( $str )
{
    global $forum_config;
    $hf = fopen($forum_config['o_pun_admin_path_log_file'], 'a+');

    if ($hf)
    {
        fwrite($hf, $str);
        fclose($hf);
    }
}

function record_log_file($action, $comment)
{
    global $forum_user;
    return '['.date('j-M-Y H:i:s').']'."\t[".$forum_user['id']."]\t".$forum_user['username']."\t".$action."\t".$comment."\n";
}

?>

It seems as if an entire PHP file has simply been inserted without being correctly processed. So far, this problem only seems to be affecting my settings.php file, and only when I attempt to actually change those settings. What might be causing this sort of response?

Re: Problem changing settings (in admin/settings.php)

This is the content of the file "<FORUM_ROOT>/extensions/pun_admin_log/functions.php". It seems that your server don't support short PHP tags. In the SVN there is updated version of this file. You can get it and replace old file with new.

Re: Problem changing settings (in admin/settings.php)

I replaced the file and everything works properly again. Thank you for the help.
