So what do I need to do....

I at present have this code...

      if (in_array($var, $not_unset))
      {
         die('Hacking attempt!');
      }
      unset($$var);

Should I replace it with the other one.??

Thnx... I reverted it and its working now.

Guyz who have updated to the latest 2.0..21 version do this....

Code: Select all

#
#-----[ FIND ]---------------------------------------------

      if (in_array($var, $not_unset))
      {
         die('Hacking attempt!');
      }
      unset($$var);

#
      if (!in_array($var, $not_unset))
      {
         unset($$var);
      }

thats a workaround, but i guess its kind of a security problem...

i guess the quiz mod has to be modieifed...

Sort of. It is quite complicated, and I imagine will require a fair few changes.

I'm running phpBB 2.0.21 with Cash Mod.. and upgraded from Quiz mod 1.3.0 to 1.3.3 however I still have the problem "Hacking Attempt" when a user submits their answers to a quiz. I've searched all day today for answers to this persisting issue, and frequently I see that 1.3.1 fixed this, however I cannot find where to download 1.3.1, only 1.3.3. Are there instructions in 1.3.1 that are not in 1.3.3 that will help me fix this? As in SQL changes or anything? The included quiz_install and quiz_updater seem to make no changes in SQL tables updating 1.3.0>1.3.3. If the changes are in included files I've uploaded them all... if the changes are in Files to Edit section of instructions I've done those too.. but the problem persists. Any ideas? Everything else works perfectly only the Hacking Attempt when user submits answers /boggle.
