Fatal error message on functions/sessions.php

[Tayna]

I'm having problems logging into the admin. It was working fine the day before and I have not made any changes or touched any of the files.

I keep getting this message: Fatal error: Call to a member function Execute() on a non-object in /home/tayna/public_html/includes/functions/sessions.php on line 61

Here is my url: http://www.taynasminidolls.com/admin/login.php

Thanks, Tayna

What version of Zen Cart are you using?
What version of PHP is on your server?

[Tayna]

Zencart version V1.3.6

Php version 5.2.5

Thanks! Tayna

[DrByte]

A bug caused by PHP5 was fixed in v1.3.7.1

You should upgrade the /includes/functions/sessions.php file using the one from 1.3.7.1 or 1.3.8

... and you should plan to upgrade your whole site in the near future.

[Tayna]

Thanks, I will upgrade now.

        $SESS_LIFE = 1440;

then upload over the original sessions.php

im not a coder so im not sure what the fix is i just know that im running an older version and just swapping the sessions.php causes it to produce "illegal action" or words to that effect but the above fixes this.

This gave me problems on line 71. Any other ideas?
