Username keep changing all the time in v1.3

[zilveer]

Hi everyone and thx for the gr8 PHPfreechat.
It works like charms except one BIG bug in version 1.3.
Whan you setup a nick like the code below and use the frozen_nick true then the username keeps changing all the way, and to the end I get kicked because of flooding.

Code: Select all

$params["nick"] = "guest".rand(1,1000);  // setup the intitial nickname
$params["frozen_nick"] = true;

This is a big ISSUE and I hope that you guys solve this problem as soon as possible.

Best regards Zilveer

This was posted long ago as a fix,
so all thanks goes to the creator :

Code: Select all

$ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
$desc = md5($ip);
$preview = substr($desc, 3, 6);
$preview = preg_replace("/[^0-9]/", '', $preview);
$params["nick"] =  "guest".$preview;

what it does is give you an static number taken from you IP but without put in your IP in public..
and you dont get a random number that makes PFC loop forever.. regards
