hello.

After a lot of painful research and trial and error, I found out that when the Image Name field is in non-ascii chars, the upload fails (captcha deactivated in global.php)

After additional painful research, found out that this problem could be avoided by replacing the 4 occurences of $HTTP_POST_VARS['image_name'] in member.php by $_POST['image_name']

Now I also found out that users are not able to use non-ascii chars in comment title..... grrrh.

I searched details.php for any occurences of $HTTP_POST_VARS['image_name'], but there were none.

Any solution?

Intrst ... which line in member.php for $HTTP_POST_VARS['image_name'] ? May be bug for pre-define.
8 steps need when ask question -

- PHP version (ACP - > phpinfo())
- mySQL version (ACP - > phpinfo())
- 4images version
- Post screenshot / URL
- Post code in BB Code (no need full file for code) or post attach file
- It doesn't work. What is say - what is do for no work
- Install MOD ? If so - please say (troubleshooting)
- Read FAQ ? Install Bug fixes ?

Ok, found it.

In member.php file,

find (2 time):

Quote
$image_name = un_htmlspecialchars(trim($HTTP_POST_VARS['image_name']));
$image_description = un_htmlspecialchars(trim($HTTP_POST_VARS['image_description']));
$image_keywords = un_htmlspecialchars(trim($HTTP_POST_VARS['image_keywords']));

replace:

Quote
$image_name = (isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['image_name'])) ? un_htmlspecialchars(trim($HTTP_POST_VARS['image_name'])) : "";
$image_description = (isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['image_description'])) ? un_htmlspecialchars(trim($HTTP_POST_VARS['image_description'])) : "";
$image_keywords = (isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['image_keywords'])) ? un_htmlspecialchars(trim($HTTP_POST_VARS['image_keywords'])) : "";

Should work. ;)

No friend, sorry. it does not work.

Please fill out the Image Name field

which of course I did.....


any help would be appreciated.

AND ......

to confirm to you that it is an absolutely Image Name problem, with the same user, same time, same system, same browser, I upload the same image, only difference being that I would use ascii/ansi chars for file name, and upload is successful....

I could not find this string anywhere in the whole script.
Quote
$image_name = un_htmlspecialchars(trim($_POST['image_name']));

so in which file we are talking about here, member.php or details.php or what ?
