Login problem, can't find why.

Mgccl

This is origially PMsys, I have edited it, and here is what I have done with the original
replace all $COOKIE into $SESSION
changed all setcookie() into session_start() and defined those $_SESSION
now the problem is I can't login(login is done in index.php), does anyone here got an idea why?
I uploaded the whole pakage, but I think you only need to look at index.php and include/global.php

I would like to thank anyone who is going to help my problem

you say I can't login
what does this mean?
any error?

I imagine you use pms-2.3.0, 2003-12-28
but there are two 'CVS Versions'

One called PMS-CVS.zip, which is a version of pms-2
One called PMSys3-CVS.zip, which is a new unreleased version pms-3
Both these are probably from March 2004

See this CVS directory:
http://pmsys.sourceforge.net/cvs/
and comments on:
http://pmsys.sourceforge.net/cvs.php

Its a bit hard to tell really from looking at the code. Are you getting any errors? Any messages displayed?

I will however say this. You might want to look at a new system... that is some terrible coding right there, including a massive security hole that could easily see your whole site brought down.

I wouldn't touch that code with a barge pole. Sorry.

First I tried to install PMSys3-CVS.zip, but this was impossible ... dont even try!

I managed to install PMS-CVS.zip.
But I had to disable one thing in database file: includes/mysql.php.
Has got this check

<?php
    function check_query ($query) {

    // check for hackers
    if (stristr($query, ";")) {
        echo "<b>BAD HACKER!!</b> No database cracking for you today!";
        exit;
    }
  return $query;
}
?>

... and because install CREATE TABLE has got this

<?php
  PRIMARY KEY  (`ip`),
  UNIQUE KEY `ip` (`ip`)
) TYPE=MyISAM;";
?>

MyISAM; .... has got a semicolon
made me a BAD HACKER!!

Can anybody explain this?

And is it possible to create table WITHOUT ; semicolon?
