PHP form stopped working after 3 / 4 years of working perfectly

benjamin4 · Sep 8, 2009

Hi,

I have a form that has been running for 3 to 4 years without any problems. All of a sudden last week it stopped working. (another on the site stopped working aswell)

It's on a shared hosting platform, so my only guess is that the PHP settings or a server setting has been changed by my wonderful hosting company.

I've asked the question but so far have had no response.

In the meantime I'm hoping someone on here may be able to help.

You can see the php settings by going here:

http://www.wandptraining.co.uk/phpinfo.php

The code for the script is as follows...

Code:

<?
session_start();  // Start Session
header("Cache-control: private"); 

/* checks to see if session is already registered if registered no need to register session */
if(!session_is_registered('first')){  


	session_register('first');
	$_SESSION['first'] = "true";

	session_register('topic');
	$_SESSION['topic'] = $_GET["topic"]; 
	
	session_register('id');
	$_SESSION['id'] = $_GET["id"]; 

		if($_SESSION['topic'] == ''){ 
		
		session_register('topic');
		$_SESSION['topic'] = "General Enquiry";
		
		
		}
 

}




if ( $_POST["check"] == 'send')  {

	$name = trim(stripslashes($_POST['name']));
	$lastname = trim(stripslashes($_POST['lastname'])); 
	$laim1 = trim(stripslashes($_POST['laim1'])); 
	$laim2 = trim(stripslashes($_POST['laim2'])); 
	$company = trim(stripslashes($_POST['company'])); 
	$let = trim(stripslashes($_POST['let']));
	$town = trim(stripslashes($_POST['town']));
	$location = trim(stripslashes($_POST['location']));
	$comments = trim(stripslashes($_POST['comments']));
	$mail = trim(stripslashes($_POST['mail']));

Thanks for any help anyone can offer. Hopefully someone will be able to get this script working again.

Many thanks

so what has it stoped doing ?

jpadie · Sep 8, 2009

i'd guess that the php installation has been upgraded and short tags has not been turned on.

you do not explain what 'not working' means in your context. so i'm guessing that one of the following is true;

1. the script fails with errors (post the errors here)
2. the script fails silently - turn error reporting and display on and post the errors here
3. no emails are sent - check that php.ini contains the right data for the mail servers or change to use phpmailer.
4. the html is displayed but without the right data - change the <? tags to <?php or turn on short-tags in php.ini

additionally change this code block

Code:

if(!session_is_registered('first')){  


    session_register('first');
    $_SESSION['first'] = "true";

    session_register('topic');
    $_SESSION['topic'] = $_GET["topic"]; 
    
    session_register('id');
    $_SESSION['id'] = $_GET["id"]; 

        if($_SESSION['topic'] == ''){ 
        
        session_register('topic');
        $_SESSION['topic'] = "General Enquiry";
        
        
        }
 

}

to

Code:

if(!empty($_SESSION['first'])){


    $_SESSION['first'] = "true";

    $_SESSION['topic'] = $_GET["topic"]; 
    
    $_SESSION['id'] = $_GET["id"]; 

        if( empty($_SESSION['topic'])){ 
        
        $_SESSION['topic'] = "General Enquiry";
        
        
        }
 

}

having checked the phpinfo i see that

the build date is old, making it unlikely that a new install is the culprit
short-tags are on already.
register-globals is on (change hosts asap)

so i guess the issue is now either that the sendmail binary is bust (use phpmailer instead) or the outgoing emails are being blocked by commercial spam blockers at the receiver end. in which case phpmailer is again your solution coupled with an external auth smtp relay host.

but as you have not given any details this remains guesswork
