[geeklog-devel] Geeklog.net 2.1.0 Beta 1 Upgrade

[Wim Niemans]

Having the code examined, learns the following:

1. the cache routines make extensive use of ‘file_get_contents’ and handle the return values in a buggy fashion.

2. The ‘1’ is generated in the function subst($varname) by returning true:

           } else if (isset($this->varvals[$varname]) OR empty($varname)) {
               return $this->slow_subst($varname);
           } else {
               // $varname does not reference a file so return
               if ($this->debug & 4) {
                   echo "<p><b>subst:</b> varname $varname does not reference a file</p>\n";
               }
               return true;
           }

3. Changing ‘return true’ into " return ‘’ “ removes the ‘1’ occurrence.

4. The construct is present twice in the function. See lines 705, 738.

I am not sure if this change will do, or would generate other noise. 
Though I find it most strange for return true values in this function.

After all, this ‘1’ is generated by parsing a unset varname ?? Really?
