PHP 5.4 removed functions and admin-logout.php

[alastair]

Hi Chris,

My host is forcing me to upgrade from php 5.3 to 5.4.

I've been testing my site (which uses 3.3.7) on the newer version - everything in the calendar works as expected (sadly not the rest of the site...) except the admin-logout.php script. It looks as if the issue is with a couple of php functions the script uses being removed in the new version: session_is_registered(), and session_unregister(). The page loads to a white screen and the user is not logged out.

I was just wondering if you have any plans to update the script or, if not, any suggestions about how to adapt the script to work under php 5.4?

Many thanks,

Alastair

Hi Alastair.
I'm afraid that at the moment I am unable to release a new version of the script.

However, to resolve this issue please replace the entire contents of the ac-admin > admin-logout.php file with the following code:

Code: Select all

<?php
// Initialize the session.
session_start();

// Unset all of the session variables.
$_SESSION = array();

// delete session cookie to completely clear all session related data
if (ini_get("session.use_cookies")) {
    $params = session_get_cookie_params();
    setcookie(session_name(), '', time() - 42000,
        $params["path"], $params["domain"],
        $params["secure"], $params["httponly"]
    );
}

// Destroy the session.
session_destroy();

// redirect to admin home page
header("Location: index.php");
?>

Let me know if you have any problems.

Chris

That worked a treat. Thank you very much for your help.
