Re: [critical] hosting service turning off allow_url_fopen

Thanks, especially to Will_H, for the doc pointers. It turns out that the only issue was the one I mentioned, and due to the fact that I used XoopsPartners as a base for my own site-links module.

On to the next porting problem ...

it is my understanding that if fopen is disabled in php, XOOPS defaults to using the snoopy.php class instead? or would modification be needed for modules that require fopen to use snoopy.

but either way, it is best to use snoopy instead of enabling fopen.

Why don't you just replace each fopen instance with 'cURL' instead?

hhttp://phpsec.org/projects/guide/ probably be helpful. None the less its a good read.

You can start with your php version and see what exploits were found since your version was current.

I imagine you are still using php4

No, I don't intend to ask to have it turned back on, even if I could. And no, I don't expect a list of all the modules that once were vulnerable.

I'm glad the XOOPS CORE is not a problem, and I am therefore concentrating on the modules. The list of vulnerable php functions is helpful in that search. Any other such functions someone cares to enumerate would be welcome.

Thank you.
