There has been a fix added to the phpBB 2.0.8 - 2.0.9 update. Originally the new function added unset_vars was causing problems with you entering the Forums admin. As a workaround (thanks to alphamonkey) open the modules/Forum/common.php and

find this line - around line 27

die("Hacking attempt");
}


After place:


//Unset Vars
function unset_vars(&$var)
{
while (list($var_name, $null) = @each($var))
{
if ( ! ( $var_name == 'phpbb_root_path' || $var_name == 'no_page_header' || $var_name == 'phpEx' || $var_name == 'admin' || $var_name == 'user' || $var_name == 'name' ) )
{
unset($GLOBALS[$var_name]);
}
}
return;
}


Find around line 41:


error_reporting (E_ERROR | E_WARNING | E_PARSE); // This will NOT report uninitialized variables set_magic_quotes_runtime(0); // Disable magic_quotes_runtime


After Add:


// Unset globally registered vars - PHP5 ... hhmmm
if (@$ini_val('register_globals') == '1' || strtolower(@$ini_val('register_globals')) == 'on')
{
$var_prefix = 'HTTP';
$var_suffix = '_VARS';
$test = array('_GET', '_POST', '_SERVER', '_COOKIE', '_ENV');
foreach ($test as $var)
{ if (is_array(${
$var_prefix . $var . $var_suffix}))
{
unset_vars(${$var_prefix . $var . $var_suffix});
@reset(${$var_prefix . $var . $var_suffix});
}
if (is_array(${$var}))
{
unset_vars(${$var});
@reset(${$var});
}
}
if (is_array(${'_FILES'}))
{
unset_vars(${'_FILES'});
@reset(${'_FILES'});
}
if (is_array(${'HTTP_POST_FILES'}))
{
unset_vars(${'HTTP_POST_FILES'});
@reset(${'HTTP_POST_FILES'});
}
}
