this is the code it is referring to, see inside the function GetLvl

Code:

<?php

$handle = fopen("http://hiscore-web.runescape.com/lang/en/aff/runescape/hiscorepersonal.ws?user1=".$userdata['user_name'],"r"); 
if($handle){ 
   while (!feof($handle)) { 
   $contents .= fread($handle, 8192);} 
fclose($handle);}
function GetLvl($skill)
{ $str1 = strstr($GLOBALS['contents'], '>'.$skill.'<');
if(strpos($str1, 't"')>40){return '';}
$pos1 = strpos($str1, 't"',strpos($str1, 't"')+1)+3;
return substr($str1, $pos1, strpos($str1,'<',$pos1)-$pos1);}
$attack = GetLvl(Attack);
$strength = GetLvl(Strength);
$defence = GetLvl(Defence);
$hitpoints = GetLvl(Hitpoints);
$ranged = GetLvl(Ranged);
$player_prayer = GetLvl(Prayer);
$magic = GetLvl(Magic);
include ADMIN."hiscores/combat_formula.php";
echo "<tr>
<td class='tbl'>Combat Level</td>
<td class='tbl'><input type='text' name='user_combat' value='".$combat_level."' maxlength='7' class='textbox'></td>
</tr>";

?>

once again these errors come out of no where.. with no changes being made to the file in months

And when did you start getting this error? Was it at the same time your other errors started?

Meth0d,

create a file on this server with this code:
<?php phpinfo(); ?>

and tell us the URL

These are warnings. That's not a problem.

The site should work fine.

http://3rd-evolution.net/php-info.php

Yes the errors appear around the same time as the other ones...

It does mess up the page, it can't find my data from runescape.com anymore

OK, I don't think that a changed server config is the problem, but maybe you site is bad coded and after the last php update this is the result.

Another situation could be that you site has al this problems before but the configuration doesn't show errors. In this case you need to switch of the errors:
ini_set('display_errors', 'Off');

otherwise I have no advice (at least non that you wanna hear)

ok i know what the problem is now.. the webmasters of runescape.com (where this code gets its data from) have put extra line breaks in their code, for example, their old style of coding looked like this:

Code:

<tr><td>Some Text</td></tr>

Whereas, now their code has been changed, and it appears like this when you view the source:

Code:

<tr>
<td>
Some Text
</td>
</tr>

If you see above in the php code for the function, "GetLvl" ..it searches for certain characters in a string in the source code of their page using $GLOBALS['Contents'].. but now it can not find that data because they added those linebreaks.. Tried to explain this the best i could.. any ideas?

I really don't understand what the problem is, but anyway if the problem is the linebreaks, why don't you simply remove them?

I can't remove them, runescape.com is not my website haha!

Anyways, I have fixed this problem.

Solution you ask? Of course!

These lines:

Code:

<?php
function GetLvl($skill)
{ $str1 = strstr($GLOBALS['contents'], '>'.$skill.'<');
?>

Were changed to this:

Code:

<?php
function GetLvl($skill)
{ $str1 = strstr($GLOBALS['contents'], $skill);
?>

By taking out the

'>'. and .'<'

PHP can now read the text exactly, without looking for closing and opening "< or >".
