Bug in latest WebPost2

[felfert]

Just found a bug:

When a channel or a channel topic contains single-quotes, the SQL query for updating the server details fails.

I solved it this way:

In db_inc.php:

function escapequote($var1) {
return(ereg_replace("'", "\\'", $var1));
}

In db_inc.php, function insertchannelinfo:

...
$channeldata5 = escapequote(addslashes(htmlspecialchars(trim($chan neldata[5])))); // name
$channeldata8 = escapequote(trim($channeldata[8])); // topic

PS:
Would be nice to have a mail-address from the developer for sending patches. This WebForum software sucks when one wants to send patches...

addslashes should be doing this already, I will expierement with this more, thanks.

I will have a new version out soon that will have a bug reporting section along with an admin panel.

Is there anyway of running the script and the server on the same machine behind a router. I have managed to do it so it shows the external ip instead of the local one, although the channel listings will not show as it says the tcp query port is closed as its on one machine. If that makes sense lol.:confused:

[Gryphon]

The only way to do it without some code hacking is to use your external IP for your PostURL. If you are not getting channels displayed, this is a port issue. If you have trouble opening port 51234, try changing it to another port.

Thanks Fritze, all it needs is addslashes for chandata8. Should be the only line that needs fixed. Fixed in next version.


$channeldata8 = addslashes(trim($channeldata[8])); // topic

I know this is an old thread, sorry for the bump.

the port to be opened, is it udp, or tcp

im hoping it solves my probs, i cant get the server info to post. server and script on the same machine behind a software router (sygate)

Guess why it's called WebPost :)

It is a plain HTTP POST request, therefore it is TCP. The port number is usually 80 but can be specified in the URL so it is depending on your configuration.

For MySQL it is usually TCP/3306 but this also can be configured and for making the connection back to the teamspeak-server, the default port is TCP/51234.

Thanks, i thought it was TCP, but i wanted to make sure, cause i already had it open. Still not sure why the port would matter if the script and the server were on the same box
