What do you mean by TRIM?

Was the disk full or placed into read only mode? If it went into RO mode check DMESG, it’s probably failing.

It shows what search engines, e.g. Bing [Bot], Google [Bot]

This sounds like a test question. Historically we don’t answer questions like that. Sorry!

The error message is giving you the location of where the output is being sent. session_start(); must be executed before that specific location.

Also, session_start(); should be called before you start using the $_SESSION variables too.

I had to implement multiple spam countermeasures to help keep this forum clean. Once things were working again it immediately started getting around 100 spam posts per day. The bots are relentless, they just try to hit the site over and over.

Yeah it’s pretty bad. Even digging through the code to find the cause of a relatively simple error is a bit of a nightmare!

Hey Vegan!

Yeah it was broken, and the updates were failing leaving it in even worse shape. Finally, with the most recent version of phpBB, I was able to get everything upgraded and working again. We’ve lost all our regulars, but we’re starting to see some folks come back.

This code works for me, please try it: <?php ini_set(‘display_errors’, true); error_reporting(E_ALL); require ‘database.php’; if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") { //$conn = getDB(); $sql = "INSERT INTO article (title, content, published_at) VALUES (‘" . mysqli_re...

Ok, that brings us back to where we started.

I see you rewrote the code a bit. Can you please post all your code, both files, so I can run it locally and test it. Please don’t included the password.

Create a file containing the following:
When you run this in a browser, it will tell you where your php.ini file is. Inside of that file, locate the directive for magic_quotes, and set it to 0 or false, then restart apache.
