Hi Xin, I think there's an error in your patch:

This does NOT prevent execution of the query, only effects output of the
message:

> {

> }

I think it should read as follows:

if ( $user_id != ANONYMOUS ) {
if ( !$db->sql_query($sql) {
message_die(CRITICAL_ERROR, 'Error creating new session', '', __LINE__, __FILE__, $sql);
}
}

I'm not great PHP programmer, though, so please correct me if I'm wrong.
Cheers! :-)

Did you know that if you play a Windows 2000 CD backwards, you will hear
the voice of Satan? That's nothing!
If you play it forward, it'll install Windows 2000.
