Re: phpBB 3 to punbb convertor ? (55 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 discussion)
Assuming you're running the converter from the start, that shouldn't be an issue. However, try running it from a clean install.

Re: Updating a db count (13 replies, posted in Programming)
More info:
http://us.php.net/mysql_real_escape_string
Escapes special characters in the unescaped_string, taking into account the current character set of the connection so that it is safe to place it in a mysql_query(). If binary data is to be inserted, this function must be used.
mysql_real_escape_string() calls MySQL's library function mysql_real_escape_string, which prepends backslashes to the following characters: \x00, \n, \r, \, ', " and \x1a.
This function must always (with few exceptions) be used to make data safe before sending a query to MySQL.

Re: phpBB 3 to punbb convertor ? (55 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 discussion)
I'm not exactly sure how that's possible, since forum_id is a primary key for phpBB. Unless the converter isn't deleting the old PunBB data, which I've always seen it do, I don't know how that could happen.

Re: Updating a db count (13 replies, posted in Programming)
It is not about inserting or selecting. It is about escaping input in a query. If you're surrounding something with a " or a ' and the input could potentially have a " or a ' in it, you need to escape it so that it can't "break out," which would be an SQL inject.

Oh, I think you'll want to $db->escape the poster value from the database.

while (false !== ($topic = $db->fetch_assoc($result)))can be
while ($topic = $db->fetch_assoc($result))Otherwise, looks fine to me

Re: Updating a db count (13 replies, posted in Programming)
There is no num_topics column in users by default: did you mean num_posts?
Other than that, I see no issue, the code looks correct to me.
Yeah, and as you figured out you can safely not use that expensive join

Re: [1045] dbconn: mysql_connect: Access denied for user 'www-data'@'local (7 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 troubleshooting)
It doesn't make up the www-data name, you must have it set in config.php
And if I were you, I would delete all the .php files in the cache directory and make sure base URL is set correctly in the database. That way, there should be no reason for it to reset.

No, because if your base URL is invalid you can't change it except by manually editing the database

Hello All, developers,
I think there is still an oversight in the code for 1.2.16:
in include/functions.php, look for line:if ($register_globals === "" || $register_globals === "0" || strtolower($register_globals) === "off")
I think you will find that should be:
if ($register_globals === "" || $register_globals === "0" || strtolower($register_globals) === "off"))

Mmm, no, that's an extra closing parenthesis: that would give a parse error

From looking at the other code, it seems to be far more 'extravagant' than it has to be, however, or is my view too simplistic?
It also allows you to mark an entire forum as read, other than that it doesn't seem to extravagant to me.

I believe it also fetches the post id's as well as just, (or rather than)?, the topic id's?
Nope
MattF wrote:
Is there any valid reason for serialising the id's before placing into the db as in the existing mod, btw?
Because you can unserialize it when you take it out of the database and keep the array pairing of topic IDs to last viewed times.
MattF wrote:
I'll be honest in that I haven't looked at the existing mod indepth, but from the cursory glance I've had, it would appear possible to do the same with approximately half the code?
I haven't looked at the code for it in a while, but I doubt it
