    • Security problem with allow_url_fopen

    Posted by Yann France

    Hi,

    If we want that non-interactive activities work, we have to put the allow_url_fopen to "on" in the php.ini file. When it's off, we have a blank page when a non-interactive activity is executed.

    I have a "problem" with my server admin who doesn't really agree to let allow_url_fopen at "on"...

    Is it possible to modify the script to not use that ?

    Thanks,

    Yann

    A possible workaround is presented in http://tikiwiki.org/tiki-view_forum_thread.php?comments_parentId=6236&topics_threshold=0&topics_offset=30&topics_sort_mode=commentDate_desc&topics_find=&forumId=11
    A hack, but if it works... Regards,

    Georger

    Thank you very much Georger,

    It works fine.

    I had to correct the code (as I wrote as anszer to the topic you talked about).
    (For those interest, look at that topic to see it because if I made an error, I hope someone will correct me.)

    An addition, I had to correct the code of my non-interactive activity.
    In fact, I was querying to the DB in that activity.
    So, I had to replace

    $suivant2=$tikiwiki->query($query);

    by

    $suivant2=$this->query($query);
