Friends i am getting this warning from an old add on i am trying to revive and use

Warning: preg_match(): Delimiter must not be alphanumeric or backslash

I used the preg_match to replace the deprecated eregi which got me rolling but when i debug i get the preg_match warmings

Here is the line where the code pops up..

if (preg_match(".cmd.php", $file)) {

Any help ?

Try this.

php Code:

if (preg_match('/.cmd.php/', $file))

There are some other ways to prevent running a file directy.

Block-files in RN:

php Code:

if ( !defined('BLOCK_FILE') ) {


    Header('Location: ../index.php');


    die();


}

Module-files in RN:

php Code:

if(!defined('MODULE_FILE')) die('You can\'t access this file directly...');

Admin-files in RN:

php Code:

if ( !defined('ADMIN_FILE') ) {


	die ('Access Denied');


}

based on the realpath:

php Code:

if (realpath(__FILE__) == realpath($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME'])) {exit('Access Denied');}

Hi Neralex, I noticed this while comparing the latest version (left) with my installation of RN 2.5.1 (right). I may have modified this, but wondered if you were aware of Montego's code change highlighted on the right. It combines multiple SQL statements into a single execution, rather than having a different SQL connection for each.

kguske, hmm yes I know but Montego's code has never worked for me on this point in RN251. The counter always had the same value, no matter how many messages were stored. So I tried to fixed it as single SQL statements.

This is the original file/line-number in 251: [ Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! ]

Thank you, sir. Wasn't sure if you had seen it.
