[phplib-dev] Error in example file view_sessions.php revealed by test of phplib-4 extension From: Marko Kaening (marko <email protected>)

Hi,

I found a tiny typo in view_sessions.php (both on the cvs version and in
the current release 2.7c) which prevented the script from deleting stored
sessions properly. There was originally the variable $k used in the build
of the query, but it should be $v instead, since $k is just the index:

---------SNIP-------------------------------------------------------------
      $query = sprintf("delete from %s where name = '%s' and sid = '%s'",
                 $sess->that->database_table,
                 $sess->name,
                 $v);
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

This was discovered by a test of the phplib-4 extension, which obviously
doesn't set the $sess->that data as in version 3. That caused a
MySQL-Error showing the complete query (with a strange 'sid' like e.g.
'1', depending on which checkbox was selected) since the table name was
empty. If you tried to delete sessions in version 3 before the wrong
access simply couldn't be seen so easily.

So, the question is: WHAT HAPPENED to $sess->that????

Concerning phplib-4's stability:
   After the first tests it looks quite promising, up to now I had after
minor corrections of my scripts code no problems working with the new
phplib-4 package. Well done.

Regards,
Marko
