Fixed this, fixed that
Paul Bierman asked,
fixed it.
Rob Rohr noted "Great article for the newsletter. I suspect this summary doesn’t include downloads initiated by employees in the School of Business Administration. Our abbreviation in LDAP/PH/Registrar databases is "Sch Business Administr’n" and the apostrophe is causing havoc in the SQL INSERT that occurs after I download a file. I get my file, then I get an error message in the SQL statement. Perhaps you might wish to escape the apostrophes beforecommitting the data to your tracking database."

WordPress Update 1.2.2
WordPress Update 1.2.2 broke my login again, but it seems to be a
result of one my database value substitutions. I replaced home value with http://www.uvm.edu/~waw/wordpress/?Page=. . When
wordpress tried to define constant COOKIEPATH, it used the above
in a regular expression that stripped off the http:// , but not the
?Page=. , yielding /~waw/wordpress/?Page=. Neither
Firefox nor Safari accepted that as a cookie path. The fix was
/Volumes/homes/public_html/wordpress/wp-includes/vars.php, line 176
# waw/uvm mods 2004-01-05
# 2005-01-04 define('COOKIEPATH', preg_replace('|http://[^/]+|i', '',
get_settings('home') . '/' ) );
$patterns=array('|http://[^/]+|i','|?.*$|');
define('COOKIEPATH', preg_replace($patterns, '', get_settings('home') .
'/' ) );
#print "get_settings('home') ".get_settings('home')." COOKIEPATH
".COOKIEPATH;

That fixed, login’s “lost password” function was broken in what appears
to be a wordpress error. $wpdb->users is undefined.
/Volumes/homes/public_html/wordpress/wp-login.php, line 115
# waw/uvm mode 2005-01-05
# 2005-01-04 $wpdb->query("UPDATE $wpdb->users SET user_pass =
MD5('$user_pass') WHERE user_login = '$user_login'");
$wpdb->query("UPDATE $tableusers SET user_pass = MD5('$user_pass')
WHERE user_login = '$user_login'");
# waw/uvm mode 2005-01-05
and also in
/Volumes/homes/public_html/wordpress/wp-includes/functions.php, line
1384: SAFE MODE doesn’t allow 5th param to mail function
# waw/uvm mod 2005-01-05
# 2005-01-04 return mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers, $more);
return mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
