Bug : Cookies conflicts

[JeffPHP]

Hi Rax,

I have been installing Cacti on my Debian and I had many errors provided by MySQL saying "Invalid resource on mysql index...".

After exploring the code of Cacti I figured out that cacti wasn't using the "id" parameter in the URL, but the one I use on commentcamarche.com...

Then in order to fix this kind of tiny bug you should add for every parameter that you pass by URL in your config.php file or in whatever file used by all your scripts :

parameter = $_GET[parameter]

For your "id" parameter it'll be :

$id = $_GET["id"];

Thank you for your PHPware ;-)

Thanks for pointing this out. Just one of the many problems that seem to crop up when you rely on PHP's register_globals Anyhow, I am doing just what you are suggesting for the next version.

Actually, since you sometimes use POST, the code is a little bit more complicated :

if (isset($_GET["id"])) $id = $_GET["id"];
else if (isset($_POST["id"])) $id = $_POST["id"];
else unset($id);


either you (hard-)change each parameter sent by POST or GET in the code, or you put some code like this one in a common header.

Good luck

You could also use the $_REQUEST variable assuming that both $_POST["id"] and $_GET["id"] are not set at the same time.
