Problematic error log

[OwenB]

Can anyone tell me what this error log message is please:

[08-Dec-2018 11:36:02 Europe/London] PHP Warning: constant(): Couldn't find constant in /home/sites/digi-books.org.uk/public_html/db_library/DB_Console/includes/functions/admin_access.php on line 38

We have had over 151,000 of these swamping our servers which I am really struggling to delete.

Thanks

Usually you can delete the logs in one or two clicks using the host cPanel File Manager.


Second, what version of php is your server running?
Check Admin > Tools > Server/Version Info


Third,
this is 1.51:
while (!$result->EOF) {
if (constant($result->fields['main_page']) == $page && $result->fields['page_params'] == $page_params) {
$retVal = TRUE;
}

and this is 1.56c:
while (!$result->EOF) {
if ($result->fields['main_page'] != '' && defined($result->fields['main_page']) && (constant($result->fields['main_page']) == $page || constant($result->fields['main_page']) . '.php' == $page) && $result->fields['page_params'] == $page_params) {
$retVal = TRUE;
}

There's been a few changes to that file... now is always a good time to upgrade the site :)

And sorry where do I find error log deletion in the admin console please?

OK found how to purge the logs. Just looking now to stop it repeating

Be sure that in your log "purging" that you have left behind the applicable files to maintain security (which basically are the files that are provided in that folder when a new install is applied.)

As to eliminating the log generation, upgrading the Zen Cart version should help eliminate that issue, though it is somewhat curious why input is being provided that is causing the conflict/issue...

Yes I am trying to figure out which process calls the routine to record an error. I have a cut-down version of the software in a team folder so that as they add books they can view the library without being constantly logged out. This system does not provide access to the admin part of the software therefore I can only assume that it is the end-user viewing of the data that is triggering the errors.

In the team folder I found a further 18,000 error logs a lot of which were generated yesterday
