DOB automatically resets to true

[Marotta1]

I'm having a small issue on one of my stores with the require Date of Birth always resetting itself to true in the checkout process. I set it to false in the control panel and it always seems to revert back to true within about a minute or two.

I thought it might be a file permissions problem at first but that did not fix the problem. Has anyone else had this issue? Any ideas as to what would cause this? I'm running osCMax v2.0 RC3

The only other site I saw this happening to had been hacked. Check your files to make sure they have not been recently edited. If you have not patched your RC3 shop, it is easily hacked.

Thanks Michael. I didn't see it at first, but I eventually found it. Site was hacked due to the horrible security practices of someone other than me. Their computer was infested with junk.

Word to the wise for people out there. Be careful who you let log into your site and have FTP access with your store. People can easily get important info off unsecured computers like FTP passwords.

Change every single password you have and you NEED to make sure your computer has not been infected also.

I did change every password and have made sure my computer has not been infected also.

I do have another issue. I've gotten everything fixed, but when we try to checkout, there are no shipping options. I don't see anything wrong in the control panel, unless I'm missing something. Could this be a database issue that was created by this whole episode, or should I be looking for something else?

Any other tips/insights are greatly appreciated.

The shipping options are enabled through the database so you can check that. Check your configuration table using phpmyadmin or the like. It's hard to say without a lot more info but your database config could have been comprised also.

I got this all worked out. There were some setting issues causing the shipping options not to show up. I am now having one more small issue.

When we get to checkout_success.php, we get the following error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /xxx/wwwww/ddd/rrr/bbbbbbbb/www/mydomain.com/catalog/checkout_success.php on line 129

Anyone have any suggestions as to what might cause this? The order does go through and get processed.

You're missing a closing brace like
}
so it's not expecting to come to an end. You can put the brace at the end to see if your error goes away but really your braces should be balanced. Have you modified your files?

[Marotta1]

Don't think I've modified that file, but I'll check. Could have gotten corrupted as well. Thanks for the tip John W. I can easily check for closing }'s.

It could be from another file through an include or require statement. A good text editor will help you in seeing when your braces are balanced. While the correct fix may be just putting a } at the end it is important for braces to be balanced as that is how code is included or excluded.

For instance, compare these two bits of code

 if (yak yak condition) {
  echo ' yak yak condition is true' ;
} 
  

versus

 if (yak yak condition) {
  echo ' yak yak condition is true' ;
  echo ' extra code only included when true because the opening brace was not closed correctly';
} 
  

You can see that code that should be executed only happens when yak yak is true
